Product Information
Full details
The TCX Explorer.4 GTX boots are premium touring boots designed for male motorcyclists who demand reliable weather protection and long-distance comfort. Featuring a high-performance Gore-Tex membrane, these boots excel at keeping feet dry during unexpected downpours while remaining breathable for all-day wear. The primary caveat is that, as specialized touring footwear, they are optimized for riding comfort rather than off-bike hiking, and riders should ensure a precise fit to maximize the benefits of the waterproof liner.

FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane specifically designed to be waterproof while maintaining breathability.
Can I wear these for walking around once I arrive at my destination?
While comfortable for short walks, they are designed primarily for riding. Heavy walking may lead to premature wear of the sole.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap. Avoid high-pressure water sprays that can force dirt into the membrane.
Does the Gore-Tex lining require special care?
Keep the interior clean of grit and dirt, as abrasive particles can damage the delicate Gore-Tex membrane over time.
What is the best way to ensure the right fit?
Consult the size chart for TCX adult sizing and account for the thickness of your riding socks when measuring.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel damp inside after heavy rain
Check the upper shaft for proper coverage under your riding pants. Water can enter from the top if your pants are not worn over the boot.
Material feels stiff or squeaky
This is normal for new high-quality touring gear. Use the boots for several rides to allow the leather to flex naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your TCX Explorer.4 GTX boots, follow these guidelines:
- Fitment: Ensure you wear the same thickness of socks you intend to use while riding when trying on the boots for the first time. They should be snug but not restrictive to avoid pressure points.
- Break-in: While these boots are comfortable out of the box, they will naturally conform to your foot shape after a few long rides.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt after rides using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Always air dry the boots in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, which can damage the membrane and leather components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to maintain the boot's shape during extended periods of inactivity.
