TCX X-Miles Boots Introduction

TCX X-Miles Gore-Tex BootsThe TCX X-Miles Boot is a mid-height boot and worthy of consideration for those who like a shorter boot or have difficulty fitting a full calf. The X-Miles is full grain leather with front and rear padding for comfort, and malleolus protection for the bony prominence on each side of the ankle. The lining is waterproof with a replaceable anatomic foot-bed. The ankle impact protection includes a shift pad integrated in the sole and reinforced heel and toe counter, entry is Velcro. It may take longer for this boot to break in, but will be more supportive and protective in the long run..

The Miles should be a solid 4-season classic
touring or commuting choice for a rider who wants the whole package but prefers a low / mid boot.

Klim Adrenaline GTX Boot Review

Designed to combat all elements of nasty weather, the Klim Adrenaline GTX Boots can take on all weather conditions. Boasting a rugged outer construction with Gore-Tex waterproofing and a comfort liner, the Klim Adrenaline is one of the most popular true adventure boots on the market. Second only to the Klim Arctic GTX Boot in terms of cold weather warmth and performance, the Adrenaline is a home run that is popular amongst riders from multiple realms: dirt riders, snowmobile riders, adventure riders and more.

Check out our Klim Adrenaline GTX Boot Review:



The exterior construction of the Adrenaline GTX is a combination rubber, leather and ballistic nylon materials for ruggedness and protection. Beneath that is a Gore-Tex membrane for complete waterproofing and breathability. Gore-Tex is more breathable than any other waterproof membrane available and the waterproofing is guaranteed for life. If the boot ever leaks, send it back to Gore and they will repair or replace for free. The interior of this boot is insulated by 600 Gram Thinsulate to provide excellent warmth and the liner is a moisture-wicking fabric that will keep your foot both comfortable and dry during active and aggressive rides.

The outsole of the Adrenaline is an extremely durable rubber sole that provides excellent grip while the insole is removable and lined with moisture-wicking fabric. There is a stiff durable board built into the sole to help distribute shock, protecting the foot in doing so. Another neat feature is the lacing system. Extremely low profile and off-set to the side to reduce damage from tunnel bolts, the flat laces have anchored lace loops for excellent cinching properties. They are also anti-moisture so there is little to no chance that will ice up if you're using these boots while snowmobiling The Adrenalines have been around for a few years and they're popular for good reason: they perform tremendously in all nasty weather conditions.

Dainese Nighthawk Gore-Tex Boots Review

Built for all-season all-weather sport touring, the brand new Dainese Nighthawk Gore-Tex Boots are a stylish and functional mid-calf boot to take on all of Mother Nature's ill wills. We know what to expect from Dainese at this point: protection, comfort and style in the same package. These gloves will perform no matter what the weather conditions.

Here is our Dainese Nighthawk Gore-Tex Boots Review:



A full cowhide leather exterior with elasticated suede inserts is the upper construction of the Dainese Nighthawk Boots. Beneath this rugged exterior lies the Gore-Tex waterproof and windproof membrane to combat all foul weather situations. Gore-Tex offers the most breathability of any waterproof membrane that is available, keeping all wetness out, but allowing your perspiration to escape through, keeping you not only dry but cool and comfortable as well. Gore-Tex is also guaranteed waterproof for life; if it ever leaks, Gore-Tex will replace or repair it for free. The Nighthawk features a Skywalk sole, a premier rubber sole not frequently seen in the motorcycle industry: durable, flexible, non-slip, and extremely comfortable.

For protection, there is a thermoformed plastic insert to protect the tibia in addition to medial and lateral hard nylon ankle guards. The toebox is reinforced with thermoformed inserts and there is a TPU gear shifter guard. There is slight perforation in strategic regions of the boot that flows air but retains the waterproof elements of the Nighthawk. Inside, the foot and leg remain comfortable in all conditions thanks to the moisture-wicking comfort nylon lining. The closure is a single velcro cuff with a zipper that is fully backed by a waterproof gaiter. The Nighthawks also feature reflective ticks for night-time visibility. Overall, a standout choice for the all-season all-weather sport touring motorcycle rider.
