TCX Boots

Great casual looking boots but with great protection and so comfy straight out of the box - bought these at Boston store and wore them home (40 miles) with no issues and like I had worn them for years. Great service SBS posted my old boots back to me.

Ever since I started riding 8 years ago I’ve been wanting to get a pair of waterproof boots, as my motorcycle is my only mode of transport and I ride all year round. It wasn’t such a pressing concern the first few years as I was living in London at the time. However, since leaving London 4 years ago and swapping my Triumph Bonneville for a sports tourer that could give me the protection for wetter winter weather, the need became a bit more pressing.

As I’m a fan of the retro biker look my first ever pair of boots were from TCX. I found them extremely comfortable and hardy. However, after continuous daily use (including through several winters), they eventually needed replacing. Short-term I went with a similar looking pair from Spada as a quick and easy budget option. While they are still perfectly fine for dry weather, I am doing a lot more travelling for work now so really need boots that are fully waterproof. Enter these boots from TCX.

Looking at other reviews I agree wholeheartedly that they are instantly comfortable right out of the box. No issues with them at all. A common complaint seems to be around the top of the boot rubbing on the shin. I have invested in hiking sorts from Mountain Warehouse to wear when riding. These socks come far enough up the shin that I can’t feel any rubbing on my shin. So that addressed that issue.

I found it curious that some people also stated they found barely enough space to tuck their jeans inside the boot. However, my Wesie Tundra jeans are close fitting meaning I had no trouble tucking them in. However, I also had no issue with my other riding jeans (combat jeans) being pulled over the boots either. So, for me, best of both worlds.

The boots are just as comfortable off the bike as they are when riding. Initially they feel chunky when walking around out of the box. However, after a ride and getting off the bike to walk around, they felt totally normal.

Because of the long zip they are very easy to put on and take off. As it’s currently summer I have not had the opportunity to test their waterproof capabilities yet, but from all the reviews I’ve read, I have nothing to worry about. Size wise, I am a size 10 (eur 44) and these fit me perfectly. I hope once broken in they will remain as comfortable when I wear my thicker socks in the winter. But time will tell.

All-in-all, a great boot for the money, coupled with the usual amazing service from Sportsbikeshop. Highly recommended.

Using it for last 2 years - very comfortable and durable
but it there is a thunderstorm, they will not protect you from being wet

Very comfortable for riding and walking

Excellent quality boot. Bought these for a bit of extra ankle support while recovering from an achilles injury. Easy to get on and off with simple adjustments. Not found them to be uncomfortably hot either which was a pleasant surprise in recent heatwaves.

I ordered a size up but we’re still a little tight. The return and refund and re-ordering was the best I’ve ever experienced. I’m enjoying my new size 12 boots and they’re a fantastic boot. Well with the little extra over the blend 2. Best boot I own, bike or normal. Highly recommended
