TCX X-Blend W/P Blk boots

Product Information

Featuring a slight facelift, but with the same styling cues, the Blend 2 is crafted from a premium grain pull-up leather outer, and just like its predecessor will just get better and better with age. Waterproofing comes in the way of a full T-DRY lining, that will not only keep the rain away from your precious feet, but let them breathe so they don’t overheat too. The boots feature reinforcements at the toe and heel, plus malleolus armour for protection, and a leather-reinforced shift pad. Rear reflective inserts are a key safety feature for subtle high-visibility. 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.

In fact, the boots didn’t even feel heavier at all, so it seems the leather is treated in a way that it doesn’t absorb water (or at least is very good at resisting it). For longer walks or hikes or all-day on-your-feet at work with the X-Blend boots, I would recommend some good replacement insoles. That, or bring along some “mission specific” footwear. Some Brands have specific Medium sizes, for example Roof, which can give a very accurate fit if you are that size, for example : Top Grain” leather sounds like it would be similar, but it is a bit different. It usually describes leather that comes from the layer under a top layer that had a blemish.With the rise of the café racer style that started trending a few years ago, all things old are becoming new again and this isn’t a bad thing…if done properly. The TXC X-Blend boots are an ideal option for urban commuters in search of an attractive, flexible use boot with the added benefit of CE rated protection.

I think they would make very good touring companions, especially with some additional shin protection.

However, the sole is strong enough in the middle to keep me from experiencing any fatigue from long periods of riding with my feet on the foot pegs. Certified waterproof (WP) women's motorcycle boots. Maximum protection and comfort, fit optimized for the ergonomics of the female foot. Regular webBikeWorld readers know that when boots or gloves are labeled as waterproof, we’re going to put them to the test.If you are generally happy with the fit, leave the helmet on for a good length of time to ensure it is not pressing in places that are not immediately apparant. If a helmet is really pressing on your forehead this can sometimes cause a headache over time so it may be worth trying another size or brand. Groundtrax® outsoles are engineered to ensure stability, grip, and traction both on the footpegs and off the saddle. This is due to the design of lugs and grooves, as well as the choice of the rubber compound, which also maximize the wear-resistance and self-cleaning of the tread. The sole features a dedicated gear shift area, to provide higher precision during the ride.

REINFORCEMENTS: Ergonomic polyurethane shin plate and malleolus, reinforced toe and heel; leather shift pad The Comfort Fit System, developed as a result of years of TCX® know-how, has always been one of the strong points of touring products. This special and virtually entirely manual technique allows the boot to be shaped on a “mould” that faithfully reproduces the anatomy of the foot, making the product exceptionally comfortable and ideal for prolonged use in different situations. I mentioned how the color has become richer on these boots, which is evidence of the use of full grain leather. The leather sections of the X-Blend boots are sewn with a matching color thread and double stitching is used in all major seams.

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! ZPLATE: Sturdy laterally, flexible frontally. The ZPLATE® shank in the midsole ensures proper flexibility of the shoe, for optimal riding and walking comfort. At the same time, transverse rigidity protects the foot in case of an accident.

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! This covers the entire range of modern sport riding and racing boots to cruiser boots to subtly styled boots appropriate for the office to off-road boots and even riding shoes that look like classic high-top basketball shoes. 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. Sizing - Please Note : These Helmets come up on the small side, so if you are in between sizes we would suggest trying a size up. Helmet city are not responsible if the helmet does not fit. MOMOCareful examination around the top opening and other areas where the edges are visible show what appears to be hand cutting of the panels. There are some places though where one can see some “less than straight” trimming to the leather panels though. The leather used in the X-Blend boots is “Full Grain”. Full grain is said to be the strongest “grain” of leather and it comes from top layer of the leather production process. The TCX X-Blend boots merge vintage looks with modern safety and steadfast waterproofing for year-round, any occasion wearability.
