    The one's I have are the previous model of this.

    http://www.haix.com/eng/workwear_produktdetail_en.php?artikel=603010

    or

    http://www.haix.com/eng/lawenforcement_produktdetail_en.php?artikel=201002

    This is probably a slightly updated model and the ones I have are out of production.

    It says Tibet on the side of the boot so it's one of them, but mine don't have the string ring that you see on the tongue here. Also the pattern on the end of the boot is slgihtly different.


    On a side note, it seems that Haix are not the issued safety boot anymore. Last group I say getting safety boots got what look like Magnum Safe toe. Quite sh1t in comparison, they are very water permeable and have no ankle support.

    Are you in the Army? (applies to PDF or RDF) As they are a personal issue item, you can apply for them on the clothing form if so... hmmm or maybe thats only if you're doing a course that requires them?

    Point to note...

    I got my latest issue of items just now

    Looking at my clothing form,

    it had a nice red line put through the part that read HIAX with someones signature scribbled beside it...

    therefore even when its on your clothing form...

    its not on your clothing form

    cutbacks me ar$e!

    :D

    Boots (Operational) have a notional 5 yr life - perhaps you weren't entitled to them?
