TCX FUEL WATERPROOF BOOTS BLACK

The TCX Fuel WP is a waterproof leather riding boot built around a heritage silhouette. The pull-up full grain leather upper and padded rear area give it a worn-in, vintage character from day one, while a waterproof T-DRY lining keeps the weather out on year-round commutes and longer rides.

It suits riders on custom, classic and naked bikes who want something they can ride in and then walk around in without changing footwear. The internal side zip with concealed Velcro closure and two adjustable buckles let you tune the fit over the calf, and the tessellated Groundtrax outsole is designed for grip on wet roads, footpegs and forecourt surfaces alike.

Protection is handled quietly: reinforcements at the toe, heel and ankle plus a leather gear-area pad sit under the leather rather than on top of it, so the boot keeps its casual look while remaining CE certified for motorcycle use.

Wear the boots around home for a few short sessions before a long ride so the full grain leather can mould to your feet and ankles.
Set the two buckles and the Velcro band once for your calf, then use the lateral zip for everyday on and off.
Brush off mud, grit and road salt after riding — abrasive dirt left in the leather creases will wear both the leather and the waterproof lining.
Clean with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner only; avoid solvents, petrol, degreasers and household detergents, and never machine wash.
Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather cream or wax to keep the pull-up finish supple and water-repellent; note that treatments will deepen the vintage patina.
If the boots get soaked, remove the footbeds, loosen the closures and air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight, heaters and exhaust pipes — forced heat shrinks and cracks leather and can damage the membrane.
Remove and air the replaceable footbeds regularly, and swap them out when they flatten rather than replacing the whole boot.
Keep the zip clean and running freely; a little dry lubricant on the teeth helps, and forcing a gritty zip is the most common way to damage these boots.
Check the sole tread and the toe, heel and gear pad areas for wear before long trips, and store the boots upright in a cool, dry, ventilated place, loosely stuffed to hold their shape.
The leather and membrane resist rain in normal riding, but the boots are not designed for prolonged immersion — repeated wading will eventually let water in over the top and through the closure.
