The demand for law enforcement and tactical officers is on the rise, and with it comes an increased demand for high-performance gear that can stand up to the rigors of the job. Chances are that if your job requires you to wear some sort of tactical gear, the term “working wardrobe” has a whole different meaning for you than for someone who works behind a desk all day. Thankfully, manufacturers are listening and creating gear that meets the needs of today’s tactical officers.

Haix Airpower Gold
Cool Inside and Out
In 1992, when a deputy fire chief/master shoemaker wasn’t satisfied with the gear he and his colleagues were using, a new line of serious footwear was born. Now a world leader in military, fire, police and rescue footwear, HAIX is offering its Airpower Gold tactical boot with an arch support system that follows the natural curvature of the foot, while the built-in cushion wedge in the heel of the boot offers uncompromised protection and comfort. But what really sets the Airpower series apart is the climate system, which pumps fresh air into the boot with each step. Additionally, the outer covering of sun-reflecting leather aids in keeping the boots cool. MSRP $269.
