FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a high-performance Gore-Tex membrane designed to be both waterproof and breathable.
Can I walk comfortably in these boots?
While optimized for riding, they are designed with a sole that supports walking during stops, though they remain stiff for protection.
How should I clean my TCX boots?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submersion and high-heat drying methods.
Do I need to treat them with leather protector?
The Gore-Tex membrane handles the waterproofing internally, but you can use specific leather care products on the exterior to keep the material supple.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing; ensure you measure your foot while wearing your typical riding socks for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
This is normal for technical touring boots. Wear them for short durations around the house to help the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Water penetrating the boots
Check the upper closure and ensure your riding pants are positioned correctly over the boot shaft to prevent water from running down inside.
Internal moisture accumulation
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking technical socks. Cotton socks can absorb sweat and reduce the efficacy of the breathability feature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your TCX Explorer.4 Gtx boots, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the boots are worn with proper technical motorcycle socks to maximize the moisture-wicking benefits of the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove surface dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: If the interior becomes damp, allow the boots to air dry at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the Gore-Tex lining and leather components.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
