FAQs
Are the TCX Explorer.4 Gtx boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane which is both waterproof and breathable, keeping your feet dry in various weather conditions.
Can I walk comfortably in these boots?
While designed primarily for riding, they offer more flexibility than track boots, making them suitable for walking during stops on your journey.
How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?
Keep the boots clean of road grime and mud. Avoid using heavy waxes or oils that could clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
What is the best way to dry the boots if they get soaked?
Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly on or against heat sources.
Are these boots suitable for summer riding?
Yes, the breathable properties of the Gore-Tex material are designed to help regulate temperature during warmer rides.
Do I need to size up for these boots?
TCX boots generally follow standard sizing. We recommend selecting your normal shoe size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the boot
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks; cotton socks tend to retain sweat, which can interfere with the breathability of the Gore-Tex membrane.
Stiff feel during first rides
The boots contain protective reinforcements that soften with regular use. Wear them for short walks or while sitting at home to accelerate the break-in process.
Difficulty putting on the boots
Fully loosen the fastening system before entry. If they feel tight, verify that you are not wearing excessively thick socks that exceed your normal shoe sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these guidelines: Always ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as a proper fit is essential for safety. When cleaning, use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth to wipe the exterior; avoid harsh detergents that could damage the technical materials. If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the Gore-Tex membrane. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
