FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter riding?
The Gore-Tex® membrane provides excellent waterproofing and breathability. For very cold conditions, adding thermal socks is recommended. These boots are designed for all-season adventure touring.
How do I adjust the fit while riding?
The dual NUUN 001M dials allow for one-handed adjustment. Turn the dials clockwise to tighten and pull them outwards to loosen. Practice this while stationary until you are comfortable performing adjustments on the go.
Can the components of the boots be replaced?
Yes, the TAURUS GTX boots feature a fully serviceable design, meaning key components can be replaced, extending the life of the boots.
What is the main advantage of the 3-point flex system?
The 3-point flex system offers crucial impact protection at the ankle while allowing for a natural range of motion, enhancing both safety and comfort during riding and dismounted activities.
How should I clean the microfiber upper?
Wipe the microfiber upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Will these boots fit over my riding pants?
The TAURUS GTX boots have a cuff designed to accommodate most riding pants, allowing them to be worn either inside or outside the boot depending on your preference and pant design.
What kind of riding are these boots best suited for?
These boots are ideal for adventure touring and off-road riding, offering durability, comfort, and protection for long distances and varied terrains.
Troubleshooting
Dials are difficult to turn or release.
Ensure no debris is caught in the dial mechanism. Clean the dials with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable on the first few rides.
This is normal for new, high-quality riding boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase ride duration to allow the materials to break in and conform to your feet.
Feet feel damp despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure the Gore-Tex® membrane is intact and there are no tears. Check that the boot cuffs are properly sealed to prevent water ingress from above. Excessive sweating can also cause dampness; ensure socks are moisture-wicking.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The Materiis rubber compound offers excellent grip, but like all rubber soles, it may perform differently on extremely smooth, wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean, as mud or oil can reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Fit Check: Before your first ride, try on the boots with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure the fit is snug but not uncomfortable. Use the dual NUUN 001M dials to adjust the tightness across the foot and ankle.
- Dial Operation: Turn the dials clockwise to tighten and pull them outwards to release. Practice this a few times to become familiar with the mechanism.
Compatibility:
- These boots are designed to be compatible with most motorcycle gear, including riding pants that can be worn over or tucked inside the boot cuff.
- The sole is designed for use with standard motorcycle footpegs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After riding, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Gore-Tex® membrane.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the dials, laces, and sole for wear and tear. Replaceable components are available for the TAURUS GTX model.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
