FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the TCX Drifter boots feature a T-DRY waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, followed by a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
How long do I need to break in these boots?
The break-in period varies per individual. Start with short rides and gradually increase duration. Consistent wear will help the boots mold to your feet.
Can I use these boots for off-road riding?
Yes, these boots are designed for versatility and are suitable for use on both paved roads and dirt roads.
What size UK 10 corresponds to in EU sizing?
A UK size 10 typically corresponds to an EU size 44. Please refer to the specific sizing chart provided by TCX for precise conversions.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
Will the suede heat guard protect my leg from exhaust heat?
The suede heat guard is designed to offer a layer of protection against moderate heat from the motorcycle's engine and exhaust components.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided sizing chart. Leather boots often require a break-in period; wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker riding socks during the break-in phase.
Water is seeping into the boots.
Check the integrity of the T-DRY membrane and the outer leather. Ensure all closure points are fully secured. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the leather if necessary, and inspect for any tears or damage to the boot material.
Difficulty with zipper or closure system.
Ensure the area around the closure is free from dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture. Follow the product instructions for application and allow it to absorb fully. Regular conditioning is key to preventing this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing them for riding. Adjust any lacing or closure systems to achieve a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation.
Compatibility: The TCX Drifter Waterproof Boots are compatible with most standard motorcycle gear, including riding pants with an over-the-boot design or under-the-boot styles. They are suitable for a wide range of motorcycles, from touring bikes to adventure and dual-sport models.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the leather and waterproof membrane:
- Cleaning: After riding, wipe down the boots with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher grime, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid excessive product, which can clog the T-DRY membrane's pores.
- Waterproofing: While the T-DRY membrane is inherently waterproof, the outer leather can be treated with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear to enhance its resistance to moisture.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the leather and internal components.
