Waterproof summer boots!
Just took a 3k mile trip to Colorado in these. Hit several torrential downpours. These are completely waterproof, as advertised. Also hit 105 degree weather crossing Nevada. Feet hardly sweated at all (I was also wearing Danner summer socks). The two issues I had were 1) the boots are for summer so my feet got very cold in the 40 degree CO weather. Not the boots fault; and 2) the zippers are very stiff at first, I think because of the extra fabric/material behind them. Took 10-15 minutes to get the boots on the first time, and I really considered returning them. But, after a few hours breaking them in, they're fine. Zippers zip as they should now.

Good boots, decent value
These boots are very good in weather above 60 degrees and beat any boots I've had over 85 degrees. They stay cool.
I've ridden in a complete downpour and my feet stayed dry. No problems there at all. I was impressed enough to buy a second pair for my GF for our long trips as a good quality, cool, dry boots are not an easy find.
Easy to walk around in as well. No problems, good product, a little more spendy than I'd like, but it has been worth it.

TCX Airtech boots
So far, great boot. Air flows good and is not hot. I have a narrow foot so it seems a little big, but that's OK, they’re for riding anyway. Great quality, good looks.

Good boots--great ventilation.
I am replacing a pair of BMW Allround boots. These boot's zippers only go up 1/2 way to the top of the boot. Could be an issue in heavy rain. Comfort is fantastic. The shift pads are very durable. The ventilation is very good--should be great during summer months. Feel very secure. Soles grip well. Haven't had them wet yet to test waterproofing. Should not be an issue--Goretex is a proven product. Overall quality and fit are excellent. Size 10 fit true to size. Strongly recommend them.

Excellent Boots!
I've worn a pair of TCX (formerly Oxtar) full leather waterproof boots for daily commuting for years. The fit, durability and protection (saved my ankles in a crash) are excellent and are still going strong but way too hot for Florida weather. These fit the bill for 90 degrees with high humidity we have here most of the year. They’re very breathable, though I don't actually feel air rushing through like a perforated material. The fit is lighter and more comfortable when walking off the bike and the gore-tex material wicks away the sweat so you're feet feel dry. I haven't tested waterproof abilities yet but I trust they'll stay dry. They're expensive but they should last for years. Highly recommended.

TCX - Airtech XCR Boots
I did my research, read reviews and ordered the boots with a promised arrival two days before a scheduled trip. They arrived when promised and I tried them on and they felt good. Anyway without any "break in" and concern this wasn't smart I took off with the new boots on. Thirteen days, 4500 miles, 45 to 105 degree temperatures, 300 miles of rain at one stretch , boots on 12 to 14 hours every day and only one small complaint, my little toe on one foot hurt a little after the first four or five days. My feet never got to hot or to cold and they are waterproof which I wondered about for a "breathable" boot. They don't look like a conventional bike boot but for what they do I don't much care. The heavy duty leather boots will stay in Tn. for Cold weather and the new boots will be good for all my Fl. riding and summers in Tn. Bottom line--Great boots !

Great warm weather boots
These boots fit my 11 wides just right and look great. They are pricey but really let the air flow through. I've gone a thousand miles with them in the balmy Florida Keys and love the light cool feel of these boots. The velcro closures over the zippers provide a snug fit as well as easy on and off.

Great Boot
These boots fit my size 10 slightly wide feet very well. They are comfortable on and off the bike. At speed I can feel the air moving over my feet. I am very satisfied!

TCX - Airtech XCR Boots
Started riding again in March. After a couple of months of wearing hiking boot, I decided it was time for a real pair of boots for riding. A friend told me about the Airtech, because riding in Texas can be rather hot. I normally wear size 14, and I remember reading how the boots run larger, so I ordered 13. They fit great and the best thing is they flow air. I would recommend them to anyone that rides in the heat.
