TCX Competizione S
 
These boots are fantastic, feel like slippers on and I tried loads of different ones, these were the only ones that fitted properly.

Really sturdy too with the CE protection and torsion control. I thought everyone was mad when they said they squeak but 3 days in and they've started, bit of grease will sort that out though.

Much recommended

I've had these for just over a year, 13,000 miles and still going strong. Held up well in my off and definitely saved my left foot/ankle.

Love 'em to bits and the squeaking becomes reassuring after a while :)

Some silicone spray normally sorts that though.

I got some in white and i love them :D trouble is i have to pull my leathers up a bit to fit my shins in which wasnt a problem when i had my sidi vertigos, havent had them squeak yet but every so often the right boot's torosion system slides down the back behind the heel bit when walking, but not all the time and still love them, they just feel so comfy and snug, but then again my sidis where a bit too big :p i rate them :thumright:

Received my blue ones today, perfect fit and will have their first outing this weekend. If they are anything like my Oxtar, I shall be well pleased....only a blue crash helmet to go and I will be a head to toe Power Ranger and I dont care

Awesome, awesome boots.Got the goretex version and they **** on all yours as I can wear them in torrential rain all day long and have bone dry feet at the end. Every meet I've gone too i.e the weekend biking trips I've always packed trainers but never bothered with them as 1. the boots are just as comfy 2. my feet aren't wet from riding as they might have been.

Oh and the toe sliders don't fall off (as seems to be an issue with lots of other boots :scratch:)

At last, first go on the bike today with my new boots....as above but I had a little trouble changing gear as the boots seem to be deeper? (to fit between gearchange and footrest). Got over that eventually and I am very pleased with them....especially the vents.

I had the same issue with shifting up, they're quite big I think.

Was also going to get the goretex ones but I've already got waterproof ones plus the goretex ones have less support and aren't as flashy looking :)

Same, but i was too used to my sidi's now they are great, Gortex ones are the same, just with gortex in them, same style, same shape and same build. thing they only come in black though

Guys

I had problems with the gear change but found that the rear heel guide was restricting my foot movement. I took out the two cap head screws holding on the guide and shaved about 3mm off the top with a Stanley Knife. That allowed my foot to extend under the lever easier. I also chamfered the front of the heel on the right one to help with the way I move my foot to the brake on the track. Two very minor mods that improved the boots 100%.

They also saved my left foot when it was crushed onto the frame / heel plate when a 206 hit me side on. any less of a boot and I think I would have had very serious injuries. All that reinforcing and stiffness of the foot area definately worked. VERY VERY highly recommended.

Still squeek like there are mice taped to the sole though !!
