When it comes to adventurous horseback riding, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. Weather conditions, terrain, challenging situations – all ready for you to capture. That’s why both the ADV bike and adventure wear like this TCX Infinity 3 Gore-Tex motorcycle boot are designed to be versatile. They should perform well, to what is possible.
Motorcycle boots are important pieces of riding gear. They need to protect all the bones, connective tissue, and muscles in the shins, ankles and feet, but they also have to be comfortable and dexterous enough to use the gearshift and brake pedals and communicate feedback. from footrest. And if you like splashing through puddles or riding in the rain, they should be waterproof.
At the bottom of the Infinity 3s is TCX’s exclusive Groundtrax sole, which is stiff enough to withstand long periods of standing on pegs but not so stiff that it turns the base into a block of numbing wood. Instead of the large and aggressive soles of motorcycle shoes, the Infinity 3 sole has a sportier shape, making it easier to control and contribute to comfort when cycling. Likewise, the OrthoLite insole is uniquely cushioned and offers breathability.

The knob is much easier to use than the motocross buckle found on many adventure boots.
I’ve been testing these motorcycle boots for the past six months and they strike a good balance between the lightness and flexibility of travel sports boots and the sturdiness and protection of athletic boots. motorcycle boots. The Gore-Tex membrane keeps my feet dry, but the boots aren’t so thick and heavy that the inside feels like a sauna.
