Product details:

TCX introduced this new Roadster 2 boot and the very similar Roadster 2 Air boot in the fall of 2017. This is an update to a now_obsolete style called X-Roadster from about 4 years ago. Use the "Related Products" link below to view the other version of this boot. What is the difference in the two versions? Well, not much! If you look at the "air" version you'll see a four rows of perforations on the upper material about mid-foot. Those holes will make this boot breathe a bit better than the "regular" all-black Roadster 2 boot that doesn't have those same perforations. Those who ride in milder weather and/or want a black boot will pick the regular while those who ride in hot weather and/or want the sport colors will pick the "air" version. Think of the Roadster 2 boots as being the bottom 2/3 of a sport/race boot. The boots have a molded heel protector and also have toe sliders just like a race boot. And the side entry zipper is also of the same design as a race boot. The overall fit and feel of the boot is trim and sporty. The sole is stiff like a race boot too. This one will be great for sport bikes due to its low profit toe area. Of course the shorter height will make this boot more comfortable to use on the street. The toe and heel areas are well reinforced and the closure on the boot will make it very unlikely that these boots could come off in case of a fall. The strap across the instep is nice to allow you to customize the fit just a bit. The ankle armor is limited to the outside of the ankle bone (there is no armor on the inside of the ankle bone).
