The GOAT of Short Motorcycle Boots: Indie Ridge

[suhawk305]

Suhawk, what are your thoughts on TCX sizing? Do they run large or small? Wide or narrow? Solid consideration for my needs and budget friendly!

Gone, my shoe size is 10C which is slightly narrow. I bought the boot in size 44 and found that the fit is somewhat wide and long, as a lot of the Revzilla comments suggests. I consider that, when I ordered the boots, since I need room for an arthritic crooked toe. The boots are too wide around my lower leg though. They are definitely waterproof and are hold up well since I purchased them in 2019.

I can’t comment on the replacement TCX model.

Nice boots but for me, laced boots are not a safe choice. For some reason, I have experienced the boot lace getting caught by the feeler bolt under the foot peg (step).
My main boot is similar to Tex’s. TCX X-5.4 GTX which will soon be obsolete.

Funny you bring this up.  I was just talking about this with my wife on our motorcycle trip last week.  --- I have ridden 130,000 miles with laced boots and never once caught them on any part of the bike.  I do take a second to be sure that I'm laced up in without a lot of excess shoestring, but I'm not worried about this as a legitimate safety issue.

I based my preference mainly due an accident l had during March 2017. On a curve, I ran onto winter sand and the bike slid out under me. That foot peg lower bolt caught the lace mid boot and my leg stayed under the bike for the complete slide. I could not free my leg until a Good Samaritan helped me.
That situation maybe rare, but I swore of laced motorcycle boots after that.
