TCX Matrix GTX II Touring Boots

What sets the Matrix II apart from many other styles? The three key things: 1) cowhide is used as the upper material (as opposed to the synthetics used in most other motorcycle boots), 2) genuine Gore-Tex® material is used as the waterproofing liner (most folks think Gore-Tex® performs better than other brands of breathable/waterproof liners and 3) the boot is CE rated (not sure that this makes it a better boot, but it definitely can’t be bad). We’ve sold literally thousands of pairs of this boot (previous versions under the Oxtar name) and have had terrific feedback from customers as to the comfort and the boot’s waterproofing ability. The overall style of the boot is ideal for street riders and commuters. And being a taller boot, it could also be worn by sport riders who use pants that tuck in. The boot has armor pieces installed inside the shin area and also on each side of the ankle and the toe box and heel area have firm inserts to provide protection and to keep the shape of the boot intact with use. I would regard the sole as being of “medium” thickness; thin enough for sport bike shifting, but thick enough to have some comfort for walking.
