Street 3 Tex owners will also be protected by the latest technology from ZPLATE with their advanced shank running down the centre of the shoe. This latest design gives the boot a more natural, free feeling flex compared to typical inserts, but crucially will protect your feet from impact in all directions. Like many models in the TCX range, the Street 3 has newly developed low profile inserts in the malleolus area from D3O that have ‘Non-Newtonian’ characteristics. This means that the molecules within the armour flow freely in their standard form, but their viscosity can change to become more solid under force. Layman's terms: the Street 3 is super comfortable to wear but is set up to take an impact and keep you safe! Some Brands have specific Medium sizes, for example Roof, which can give a very accurate fit if you are that size, for example : We do find Greg at MX Boot Repair very knowledgeable, particularly since he also started a business many years ago with leather repair.

Anyway, these look great, but I was not quite able to figure out if these have a replaceable sole (e.g.: Goodyear welt)? That might make them the perfect all day boot! Most people would never know these are motorcycle boots unless the details such as the shifter cover on the toe boxes or the round ankle protectors were noticed.I mentioned how the color has become richer on these boots, which is evidence of the use of full grain leather. I feel like I’m working my way through a “retro” trend with this latest webBikeWorld review as I take a look at the TCX X-Blend boots.

The first time around, the boots passed with flying colors. No water made its way iside and even though there is a waterproof interior liner, it didn’t seem like any water made it through the leather. Certified motorcycle boots with Gore-Tex Surround® technology, designed to offer protection, breathability, waterproofing, and comfort when walking. From the sides, the sole appears to be a classic rubber type, but when viewed from underneath, the tread pattern is fully modern. The soles also offer excellent grip, even on very smooth surfaces like finished concrete.Full Grain contains all the texture and appearance of the hide and is the toughest layer. It also gets a good patina and becomes better looking (to me) over time. TCX revamped their boot lineup, which now covers everything from “Road Racing” to “24/7 City Business” and everything in between. One of the most popular motorcycle boots out there (and rightly so!), the TCX X-Blend hits the nail on the head when it comes to classic styling. A clean, minimal aesthetic with traditional lace-up fastening and extremely subtle branding are all the hallmarks of a vintage-styled boot that would be a welcome addition to any motorcycling get-up. A matched price will be valid for 48 hours after acceptance, after which a new price match needs to be requested.
