TCX X-Blend W/P Blk boots

Product Information

They offer reasonable protection for what I feel is their target audience — commuters and light touring riders. Of course, urban riders on their retro and classic machines would likely find these an attractive option as well. W e do recommend a boot/shoe repair facility in Corona del Mar, California by the name of MX Boot Repair. 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. 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. The TCX X-Blend boots merge vintage looks with modern safety and steadfast waterproofing for year-round, any occasion wearability.

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. 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. 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. MOMO Some Brands have specific Medium sizes, for example Roof, which can give a very accurate fit if you are that size, for example : But inspection of these areas indicates that the edge never seems to get too close to the stitching and from what I can tell, there isn’t any cause for concern.

Another thing to bear in mind, is that a helmet in say size Medium from one Manufacturer may fit completely differently to a Medium from another Manufacturer. Therefore we would always recommend travelling to a dealer to try a number of different brands to get the perfect fit for your head shape. Childrens helmets are available in a variety of sizes depending on the Manufacturer, but they are generally : TCX revamped their boot lineup, which now covers everything from “Road Racing” to “24/7 City Business” and everything in between. 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!

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.

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. 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.

Then we’ll switch gears to the TCX S-R1 Gore-Tex Boots (review) from the TCX “Road Racing” collection. 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. There are some places though where one can see some “less than straight” trimming to the leather panels though.

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. We do find Greg at MX Boot Repair very knowledgeable, particularly since he also started a business many years ago with leather repair. I mentioned how the color has become richer on these boots, which is evidence of the use of full grain leather. A price match can not be used in conjunction with any other offers, vouchers, promotions, sale items or discounts by Us.This Top Grain is then sanded or buffed to create a smoother appearance. However, Top Grain doesn’t seem to age as nicely as Full Grain and since it has been sanded or abraded, it may not end up as durable. Construction I think they would make very good touring companions, especially with some additional shin protection. With the original X-Blend being one of the most popular motorcycle boots out there for several years, the new Blend 2 is a fresh update on a modern classic boot. 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. Inside the boot is a light neutral-colored lining that is smooth and appears to be a type of nylon. TCX says the lining is waterproof, but the exact type of material isn’t specified (at least anywhere that I can find). The leather sections of the X-Blend boots are sewn with a matching color thread and double stitching is used in all major seams.
