TCX Hub Waterproof Boots - Black This boots keep your feet warm and dry in cold and wet weather, but in a full day of rain, will not keep your feet dry. I used them every day for rides of at least 6h per day and I can't say will buy second time.
TCX Airtech 3 Gore-Tex Boots - Black I bought these boots specifically because they are Gore-Tex. In my experience, nothing is as truly waterproof as Gore-Tex, despite many manufacturers’ claims.
They are exceptionally comfortable straight out of the box. The sizing was spot-on for my normal shoe size, and they feel great both on and off the bike. The zips work smoothly, and once fastened the boots feel snug and secure without being restrictive. Great on the bike for changing gear and braking from day one. Also very quick and easy to keep clean.
However — and this is a big however — the Velcro design at the top of the boot is a serious flaw. The Velcro is positioned on the inside of the flap, and if you wear these boots under trousers or without tall socks, it will rub your legs raw. On my very first ride, the rubbing was so bad that I had to stop and use plasters from my first-aid kit just to continue. It’s a genuinely poor design and a real shame, as it mars an otherwise excellent boot. I’ve since had to stick double-sided Velcro over the existing Velcro and buy knee-length ski socks to make them wearable — a workaround that really shouldn’t be necessary.
Another downside is warmth. I normally have very warm feet, but in temperatures below 10°C these boots feel cold. Below 5°C, my toes go numb in under half an hour. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend them as your only pair of boots if you ride year-round in cold weather.
Overall, they’re super comfortable but the Velcro design flaw and lack of insulation prevent them from being truly great.
TCX X-Five 5 Gore-Tex Boots - Black / Black When I first tried these boots they felt really comfortable straight away and riding with them was equally as comfortable with a good feeling for brake and gear change levers. They keep your feet at a nice temperature. I have not tried them in the wet yet but the way they are made I'm sure that they will be waterproof. The boots fit niceIy inside a pair of riding jeans. Normally I take a size 43 but found them to be to tight, the size 44 fitted perfectly so my recommendation would be go for one size up from normal. I would highly recommend these boots and I am very pleased with them.
TCX Infinity 3 Gore-Tex Boots - Black These are great boots and not a bad price in a sale.
Maybe should of gone a size up as are pretty dam snug in my normal size off 11. But all in all a good boot.
Great service as always from preston sbs.
TCX Airtech 3 Gore-Tex Boots - Black I love these boots and use them for touring outside of summer. They're comfortable, feel very well made, and are super waterproof. I got them a half size larger than what I normally wear to accommodate wool socks with sock liners to ensure my feet stay warm on long winter rides, which has worked great for me. They're surprisingly light and easy to walk in, although they don't replace a set of trainers if you're walking a lot off the bike. The zip and velcro closures work fine.
TCX Hub Waterproof Boots - Black These are quite comfortable as well as bing warm in cold weather (not freezing weather, but no complaints down to 5C). They're easy to put on and the velcro closures are simple but effective. For the price, I'm quite happy and use them often when I want to use short boots.
TCX Fuel Waterproof Boots - Black Fantastic boots very well made, highly recommended.
