Combine the protection of a sports boot with the practicality of a touring boot with TCX's S-TR1

I've struggled for a while to find boots that fit my larger calves. I saw these on the site & decided to give them a go. I was so happy when I tried them on, perfect fit & very comfy a little stiff but doesn't stop me riding. I'm a size 6 & I ordered the six.
This is the second pair I’ve had and are a great pair of boots. Even in the wet.
Good constructed boot that is waterproof in light persistent weather conditions
Comfy and easy to put on with side zip. They split on the side near the ball of my foot between the sole and upper. May affect waterproofness.
A great boot for touring in the summer. If the temps get down they are a little chilly due to the venting. Waterproof and very comfortable with a grippy thick/deep sole that adds a little leg length (if your not the tallest). Knocked a star off because the protection isn't the absolute best, just ok.
I bought these for my upcoming ride to base of Himalayas and Ladakh valley all the way from south india. Planing to clock 7000 kms. I was looking for simple touring shoes and these fit my needs perfectly. Good protection and ease of use. Shoes are very comfortable indeed. True to size.
Very, very comfortable boots. There is some sort of fancy insole that transforms them from being nice boots into being wow boots. Ideal for walking as well as riding (which is why I bought them!).
So why not five stars? Three small but annoying niggles; The finish on the leather is nicely textured expect where it isn't. The boots were delivered with polish but not buffed so dust and dirt stuck to them from day one. And the laces started fraying within days of use suggesting the eyelets are rough or unfinished. These are small issues but totally preventable and quite unnecessary in boots of this price range.
