TCX Boots - SV650.org

Has anyone got any experience of TCX Competizione S Gore-Tex boots.

Yes I have read the review section, and they get pretty good reports. However more people read this part.

I want to know if they are comfy, and if they are sized large, small etc.

My Sidi Vertigo's are an 11 and they kill my feet walking any distance in them. They must be well smaller than an 11 in reality.

Any thoughts please?

Got the non goretex version and love them. I think there a little on the small side size wise as I couldn't get the zip on till they were broken in. If they fit there ace !

ummmm not sure what size to get. I am an 11.5. My SIDI's are an 11 are they are too small. Might go for a 12?

I've got the non-goretex...fantastic boots. Gear shifting was a little weird to start with, but once they loosened up, they are fine.

I just bought my normal shoe size (12) and don't have any issues. Spent dozens of days wearing them all day.

Weird that Dan cos my sidi's are really comfortable, i could walk for miles in mine and have been since the day i bought them.
Wrong size boots made by anyone would be uncomfortable i guess.

Got the non goretex version and they are great really comfortable

They do have the new s - race gore tex version either out soon or now, im still waiting for my pair to come through from our supplier, so you maybe able to get the competizones cheaper as i think that is now a discontinued range

I have wide feet and that doesn't seem to fit with the Sidi design. I can wear them, but to walk any distance in them kills me

I've got the standard Competizione S and they are really comfy. I've got a lot to say about these boots because they saved my foot. I was T-boned by a Peugeot 206 and it crushed my foot against the bike enought to bend the heel plate into the swinger and crush the exhaust. Although I thought my foot was broken, it wasn't and I was back on the track just three weeks later.

I've worn right through the toe sliders and was asking about replacements on the Shark Stand ( TCX importer ) at the show. Told the guy how impressed I was with the stiffness and reinforcing of the boot and he has sent me my sliders and some silicon grease ( to deal with the legendary squeek ) FOC. They arrived yesterday. Turns out the guy was the MD

.

Anyway, great service, great boot and very happy. I also have wide 'plates of meat' and the sizing is right against my other footware.

I've got the Goretex ones, they're fab, the sizing is perfect (unlike Sidi's which are 1/2 size smaller than the stated size) and they're absolutely bullet proof. I've had 2 offs with mine (1 road, 1 track) and they're still mustard. Completely waterproof after 26k.

There's a huge thread on these. They're excellent, like slippers, don't think they come under/oversized just try them on!
