TCX Dartwood Tex Boots - Black/White

The TCX Dartwood Tex motorcycle shoes are engineered for the modern urban rider who demands an uncompromised balance of safety, warm-weather comfort, and distinctive everyday style. Perfect for daily commuting and city riding during the warmer seasons, these certified shoes blend the casual, lightweight aesthetic of a high-end high-top trainer with advanced, race-derived protection that performs beautifully both on and off the saddle.

The core strength of the Dartwood Tex lies in its masterfully ventilated hybrid construction. By integrating premium, high-airflow technical fabrics with durable suede leather overlays, this shoe allows your feet to breathe and stay cool on hot summer days. With its stealthy protective armor and highly flexible walking architecture, it delivers complete peace of mind without looking or feeling like a heavy motorcycle boot.

Key Features

Summer Airflow Upper & Zplate® Structural Shank

Aerated Technical Fabric: Built with a highly abrasion-resistant textile upper that promotes maximum airflow, actively venting heat away from your feet during hot urban commutes.

Zplate® Propulsion Shank: Features a proprietary internal midsole insert that delivers advanced dual-axis performance. It provides strict transverse rigidity to protect your foot from being crushed in an impact, while maintaining natural longitudinal flexibility for fluid walking comfort.

Premium Suede Overlays: Reinforced with rugged suede leather panels across key wear zones, including a dedicated integrated gear shifter guard area to prevent premature wear.

Intelligent D3O® Armor & Clever Ergonomics

D3O® Smart Ankle Inserts: Outfitted with premium D3O® impact protectors over the ankle malleolus bones. This smart material is soft and flexible during regular movement but instantly stiffens upon impact to absorb and dissipate harsh crash forces.

CE-Certified Safety: Fully tested and certified to the official CE Cat. II - EN 13634 standard for protective motorcycle footwear, complete with reinforced toe boxes and stiffened heel counters.

Side-Zip & Lace Closure: Combines a traditional lacing system for a personalized fit with a heavy-duty side zipper for rapid, hassle-free on-and-off access.

Elastic Lace-Keeper Band: Features a smart, integrated stretch band on the tongue, allowing you to neatly stow your laces away to prevent them from catching on your bike’s foot pegs, chain, or controls.

Groundtrax® Hexagonal Grip & Ortholite® Cushioning

Groundtrax® Wear-Resistant Sole: The high-grip rubber outsole is engineered with a specialized tread pattern featuring unique hexagonal lugs, delivering exceptional stability on slippery foot pegs, oily tarmac, and painted city road markings.

Ortholite® Breathable Footbed: Equipped with an advanced Ortholite® foam insole that allows fresh air to circulate freely under the foot while drawing moisture away. The high-rebound cushioning resists packing out over time, ensuring premium comfort that stays unchanged over high mileages.

Night-Riding Reflective Trim: Discrete reflective inserts are seamlessly integrated into the rear chassis to boost your low-light visibility to other motorists when riding at dusk or down unlit city streets.
