Quality is first rate, the outer is supple
leather, there’s a sumptuous interior and
Gore-Tex lining. The rigid ankle, heel and toe
areas offer good protection, but ankle twist
protection isn’t as sturdy as the Lady GTX.
Good all-year-round waterproof boots, if a
little too hot in summer for sporty use.

These are a firm pair of boots that took
some time to bed in but are now
comfortable on and off the bike. Built for a
narrow foot, the quality is superb and a lot
better than their price suggests.
Inside there’s padding similar to other TCX
boots. Outside, a simple yet effective ankle
twist restrictor offers serious protection.
The shin armour is slender so they fit nicely
under jeans.
A ventilated, non-waterproof version is
also available, priced at £20 less.

Very expensive if you look at the CE results,
but get them on your feet and feel the
quality. Lots of adjustment and built up
inside by 20mm to give a more secure
footing when riding. Gore-Tex, tough zip,
supple leather and strong ankle protection.
