The best Haix safety shoes, compared.
Top pick: Haix Black Eagle Safety 50 High – The title names the high black boot, and the card has the highest star line in this set, 4.6 from 211 reviews. Best value: Haix Eagle – The largest review line in this set, 4.5 from 612 reviews, at about £145.47. Updated 16 October 2026.
Haix safety shoes are what you buy when a risk assessment still needs a certified toe cap, and often a puncture-resistant sole, after other controls. On amazon.co.uk the title often stops at the brand, so height, class, and toe type are easy to assume. Separate a pair by the class on the tongue under EN ISO 20345, then by range and height, then by UK fit. The [Haix safety shoes buying guide](/hub/occupational-safety/haix-safety-shoes/sub/haix-safety-shoes-buying-guide) takes class, then range, then the card. EN ISO 20345 safety footwear has a toe cap tested to 200 joules and 15 kilonewtons.

Question 1 of 2
What does the title need to name?
The Black Eagle Safety 50 High is a high black safety shoe at £183.09, and it has the highest star line in this set, 4.6 from 211 reviews. The title names the range and the high shaft, and it does not print a class, a membrane, or a toe material, so the 4.6 is not a certificate. Many reviews report dry feet in rain and mud, while one reports water at the front after about 13 months and the same fault on a replacement. The title is silent on fastening, and reviews describe a two-zone lace lock, with several saying the lock failed. The card asks about a steel toe and about slip, and it prints neither a toe type nor SRC or SR, though reviews describe grip on mud, stone, and sand. It is the top pick in this set when you want the high boot the title actually names, and you still check the tongue on the pair that arrives. The details block prints ASIN B018RYNM46, and the weight line of 1.5 kg does not say whether that is a shoe, a pair, or a parcel.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Someone who wants the high black boot this title names, and who will read the class on the tongue of the pair that arrives.
Less suitable: A dry indoor shift that does not need a high shaft, and anyone who needs the lace lock to be trouble-free on the evidence in these reviews.

Common questions
Is the Black Eagle Safety 50 High waterproof?
The title does not say. Many reviews report dry feet in rain and mud. One review reports water at the front after about 13 months, and the same fault on a replacement.
Does the Black Eagle Safety 50 High have a steel toe?
The card asks, and the title does not say. Toe type is not stated on this card.
Is the Black Eagle Safety 50 High slip resistant?
The card asks. The title does not print SRC or SR. Reviews describe grip on mud, stone, and sand, which is not a slip mark.
The Haix Eagle card is £145.47, and it carries the largest review line in this set, 4.5 from 612 reviews. The title names Eagle and a men's work shoe, and it does not say Black Eagle, a class, a height, or a toe material, so the stars are not proof of an S3 or S7 boot. Article 610001 appears only in the details block. Water is absent from the title: one UK review calls the pair waterproof and breathable, and another UK review says they failed outdoors in under a month. Reviews mention laces and a short velcro tab, a fastening the title never states. The dimensions line prints 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.03 cm, and a weight of 2 kg without saying whether that is a shoe, a pair, or a parcel, so those figures are not a size. It is the best value in this set when you want the most review texts at a mid price, provided you match the photo to this dp/ link, because the details block prints ASIN B0CBHRFS69.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants the most amazon.co.uk review texts in this set at a mid price, and who will read the tongue before using the pair at work.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs Black Eagle, a class, or a height printed on the title, and anyone treating the 0.03 cm line as a size.

Common questions
Do the Haix Eagle shoes have a steel toe?
The card asks, and the title does not say. Toe type is not stated on this card.
What material are the Haix Eagle shoes made of?
The card asks. There is no materials table on the card, so the upper is not stated.
Are the Haix Eagle shoes waterproof?
The title does not say. One UK review calls them waterproof and breathable. Another UK review says they did not last a month outdoors.
The Haix 604102 DIY card is the only one in this set that prints both the article number and a size on the title, size 8 UK, at £179.99. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 172 reviews. The title does not state a class, a height, a colour, or a toe type, and the card asks about a steel toe without answering it. Waterproofing is also absent from the title: reviews both praise dry feet and report leather that split or holed. The department line says Men's while the title says Unisex_Adult, so the audience on the card is unsettled. The details-block ASIN is B096J9V3L3, not this address-bar link. Size 8 UK on the title is one offer, not a promise that every size is listed the same way.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who already wants article 604102 and can use the size 8 UK offer printed on this title.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a class or a waterproof claim on the title, and anyone shopping a size other than the 8 UK printed here.

Does the Haix 604102 DIY have a steel toe?

Is the Haix 604102 DIY boot waterproof?

This card is £119.99, with 4.4 from 391 reviews, the second-lowest price in the set and one of the larger review counts. The title is only HAIX, so it does not name Black Eagle, a height, or a class, even though reviews call the shoe a Black Eagle Safety 40.1. The details block lists article 610019 and a department of Unisex Kids, while the reviews describe adult site and outdoor work, so you should not order it as a children's shoe. Waterproofing is absent from the title, and the texts conflict: a UK review reports a hole in the upper within weeks of site walking, while other reviews both praise a dry upper and report leaks. Reviewers also mention laces that loosen when you kneel. The card asks about a steel toe and the title never answers, so the toe type stays unstated. The details block prints ASIN B0CN51HQ5G, not this address-bar link.
Pros
Cons
Best for: An adult buyer who already knows article 610019 from another source and will ignore the Unisex Kids line after checking the photo.
Less suitable: Anyone buying for a child, anyone who needs a class on the title, and anyone who needs a dry upper for site walking.

Common questions
Is this Haix shoe waterproof?
The title does not say. A UK review reports a hole in the upper within weeks of site walking. Other reviews both praise waterproofing and report leaks.
Does this Haix shoe have a steel toe?
The card asks, and the title does not say. Toe type is not stated on this card.
Is this Haix shoe good for hiking?
The card asks. Some reviews mention woods and garden work. There is no hiking certification on the card.
The Haix Connexis card is the highest price in this set at £202.17, with 4.4 from 284 reviews. The title calls them men's wedges and does not state a class, a height, a colour, or a toe type, and article 630004 is only in the details block. The card asks whether they suit wet weather and whether the traction is good, and the title answers neither, so waterproofing and slip marks stay unstated. Reviews of durability run from a sole that started to separate after a few weeks to pairs kept for about 18 months or about three years. The one UK review says the velcro would not close. The details block prints ASIN B0CBHRPJVS rather than this address-bar link. At this price you are paying for a name the title does print, while the class the job needs is still blank on the card.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who already wants a Connexis wedge named on the title and will confirm the class on the tongue before indoor use.
Less suitable: Wet or nail-strewn site work, and anyone expecting this £202.17 card to state a waterproof class.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the Haix Connexis shoes durable?
The card asks. Reviews range from a sole that started to separate after a few weeks to pairs kept for about 18 months or about three years.
Can the Haix Connexis shoes be worn in wet weather?
The card asks, and the title does not say. Waterproofing is not stated on this card.
Do the Haix Connexis shoes have good traction?
The card asks. The title prints no SRC or SR mark. Traction is not stated on this card.
The Haix card at £119.90 is the lowest price in this set, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 164 reviews. The title is only the brand, so height, colour, class, and toe type are not stated, and article 610007 appears only in the details block. One review says the sole wicks water and the upper soaks after about two hours, which is the limit on a card that never claims a waterproof finish. Grip is split in the reviews: one review praises it, and another finds the tread coarse on smooth floors. No review text is marked United Kingdom, so the 4.2 is not a UK-only score. The details block prints ASIN B0CVNMLNKY rather than this address-bar link, and article 610007 was not confirmed on a Haix page. Match the photo, the price, and the size on the page you open, and do not read a safety class into a title that never prints one.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer comparing the lowest price in this set who will match the photo and size on the live page before treating the card as a work shoe.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a class, a height, or a waterproof claim on the title, and anyone ordering from article 610007 alone.

Common questions
Is this Haix shoe waterproof?
The card asks, and the title does not say. One review says water comes through the sole and the upper soaks after about two hours.
Does this Haix shoe have good traction?

Is this Haix shoe made of leather?
The card asks. The details block has no materials table, so the upper is not stated.
The Black Eagle Safety 61 Low is the low shoe in this set whose title names the range, the height, and the colours black and silver, at £143.29. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.8 from 27 reviews, the weakest stars and the smallest count here, and only four review texts, all marked Germany. The title says breathable and for summertime, and it does not say waterproof, which points to a warm-weather shoe rather than a wet-site boot. The card asks about a steel toe and about slip resistance, and the title prints neither a toe material nor SRC or SR. Article 610005 sits only in the details block. The details-block ASIN is B01N0IE41I, not the address-bar ASIN. With so few texts, and none marked United Kingdom, the 3.8 is a thin basis for a work shoe you have not tried on.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Warm, dry work when you want a low Black Eagle the title actually names, and you can accept a very small set of reviews.
Less suitable: Wet sites, anyone who needs a printed class or slip mark, and anyone who wants UK-marked reviews before ordering.

For this comparison we lined up the seven amazon.co.uk Haix cards in the set and kept the star line as stars times 20, which is not a lab score. Class, slip marks, and fit rules come from the Haix UK shop and from Health and Safety Executive pages. A shop specification is not copied onto a title that does not print it.
Class on the tongue
30%The job decides S1, S1P, S3, or a whole-shoe waterproof class such as S7. The tongue beats a heading, and none of these seven titles prints a class.
One product on the card
20%On every card the address-bar ASIN and the details-block ASIN differ. Title, price, and size have to match the page you open.
Range and height
20%A high Black Eagle, a low summer shoe, and a Connexis wedge are different jobs. Use the words the title prints, then the article number.
UK fit
15%Haix treats a half size as about three to four millimetres and points you to the insole marks. Reviews on these cards say too small, true, and too big.
What the title leaves blank
15%Toe material, Gore-Tex, and a waterproof class are blank on all seven titles. Stars and a single review do not fill that blank.
Choose the class the job needs, then the range and the height, then whether the amazon.co.uk card is one product. Stars come after that. Prices on this page are the seven shelf prices, not a market average.
Haix safety shoes and boots are occupational footwear. HAIX was founded in 1948 in Mainburg, Bavaria, and the UK shop is run by HAIX GEAR UK LTD in Birmingham. You buy a pair when a risk assessment still needs a certified toe cap, and often a puncture-resistant sole, after other controls. EN ISO 20345 safety footwear has a toe cap tested to 200 joules and 15 kilonewtons. In the 2022 edition, basic slip resistance is already required, SR is the extra glycerine test, and SRC is the older mark.
A Gore-Tex line on the shop, or a review that mentions dry feet, is not a class on the amazon title. Whole-shoe waterproof is WR, now S6 or S7. S3 alone is a water-resistant upper plus puncture and cleats, not that boot.
None of these seven titles prints a toe material. The card can ask about a steel toe and still leave the answer blank. Use the tongue on the pair you receive, not a review and not a category sentence.
Every card in this set prints a different ASIN in the details block from the address bar. Match the title, the price, and the size on the page you open. Article 610007 was not confirmed on a Haix page here, so do not invent its class.
The first cut is the class the job needs, read off the boot under EN ISO 20345. S1 or S1P is the lighter shoe for drier duty. S3 adds a water-resistant upper, a puncture-resistant sole, and cleats. Whole-shoe waterproof is WR, written in the 2022 edition as S6 or S7, and S7S is the non-metal 3 mm nail version. An older tongue can say S3 plus WR. S3 is not the waterproof boot. Haix's UK class FAQ draws that line, and some shop headings still say S3 when the specification says S7 or S7S.
The second cut is whether the amazon.co.uk page is one product. In this set the address-bar ASIN never matches the details-block ASIN. Two cards are titled only HAIX, so range, height, and class are not on the title even when a review names a Black Eagle. Article numbers often sit only in the details block. The 604102 card prints the article and size 8 UK on the title, and that size is one offer. Match the title, the price, and the size on the page you open.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
If the assessment still wants a waterproof boot with a puncture-resistant sole, start with the class on the tongue, then a high Black Eagle the title actually names. Do not use an indoor Connexis card for that job. This title does not print the class.
A dry warehouse can look at the Connexis card or the low Black Eagle the title calls breathable. Do not expect a membrane the title never states. Confirm the class on the tongue before you wear the pair indoors.
If you are comparing these seven cards, check the ASIN clash before the stars. The Eagle card has the largest review line in the set, 4.5 from 612 reviews, at about £145.47, and the title still does not name a class or a height.
Read the class on the tongue, then the range and the height, then whether the amazon.co.uk card is one product. The top pick in this set is the Black Eagle Safety 50 High, because the title names a high black boot and the card has the highest star line, 4.6 from 211 reviews, at about £183.09. The best value is the Haix Eagle at about £145.47, with 4.5 from 612 reviews, if you will match the photo to this address and still read the tongue. None of the seven titles prints a class, a toe material, or Gore-Tex.
