TCX Fuel WP Boots Item # 526467
Description
If you have classic taste, the TCX Fuel Waterproof Boots are sure to stoke your fire. Engineer boots were originally designed to have a single piece of leather on the forefoot with minimal exposed seams to protect the engineers feet from rogue hot coals. In the construction of the Fuel Boots, TCX recognized that this still-valid design has a different utility to the modern motorcyclist- the handsomely finished full grain leather upper is backed with a full waterproof lining to repel any sort of weather, water or grime the road throws at you. The TCX Fuel Waterproof Boots are loaded with all the modern moto niceties like reinforced leather shift pads, medial and lateral malleolus discs, toe and heel counter and a grippy lug sole. With a pair of TCX Fuel Waterproof Boots in your closet, you’ ll want to fuel up before every ride.
Features:
- Full grain leather upper with a vintage look
- Padded rear area
- Waterproof lining
- CFS Comfort Fit System
- Toe and heel counter
- Malleolus inserts
- Leather shift pad
- Lateral zipper and VELCRO® brand band fastener

What I was looking for
Initial out of the box review, they are nice!
Slightly different then I'm used to as I typically wear a chunkier boot but these are styled very nice and feel great on and off the bike. They are comfy once on, I purchased the eur48 and I find them slim through the ankle for me but I have very wide feet(13EEE). That being said they broke in very quickly and released a little in and around any tight spots. They get much easier to put on after a bit of wear. They are waterproof to be sure, remains to be seen for how long(I've had all types of proprietary wp liners and they all go eventually) Overall I'm quite pleased with the boots and I would buy again. I would recommend to anyone looking for a motorcycle specific boot that offers elevated protection(CE rated) and a bit more style even though style is subjective. Yes they are pricey compared to the typical flea market biker boot, but in relation to their competition, they are a great value and it's money well spent if you appreciate such things. If you have never ordered from Fortnine, I can assure you it doesn't get much better than these guys for customer service and competitive pricing. In other words you can't go wrong!
Keep up the great service!!

Classic boot - Time will tell on quality/longevity
Really like the style of these boots. At this price point really hope they’ll be something that lasts several years. Not a fan of how the leather ankle strap is stitched into the boot in front of the zipper. Makes it more fashionable than functional. It makes sense for ease of entry throwing on the boot, but be cautious tightening that strap. It’ll pull on the zipper and if that pulls apart the boots are done (good boot repair is hard to find. Would be a tough zipper to replace).
Style wise and riding in them are great. Really enjoy the extra stability from the tread. Way more stable than the cowboy boots I was riding in before. I don’t find them hot at all but have only rode them in the mid-20’s’C. I don’t think heat will be an issue (at least for me).
Crazy how little selection there are for classic engineer boots. At this price point, really hope they last, but I’m thinking they might wear out after 3-4 years after spending some time with them. Time will tell. If quality is your main factor...have a look at the Belstaff Endurance. Given that TCX discontinued this product, if the boots wear out early I’m expecting the manufacturer to just shrug.
Don’t get me wrong...the boots are great. Just a bit nervous I’ll be looking for new ones in a few years. For those wondering...the boots are made in Romania.

Great boots
I wear these every day, including during the last two weeks of 30+degree weather, and lot's of rainy days too. I shopped around a lot before I chose these. Sight unseen and untried boots are not a specialty of mine. These fit me perfectly. They're not too hot. Waterproofing is 100%. There have been a few days when the only parts of me 100% dry have been my feet and calves, 'cause I was wearing these. The zippers work, tho' I put a little bit of the wife's hand lotion on them (if you can believe it) just to make sure. They look awesome, pants in or out. A big purchase, but you get what you pay for in this life and, when you do, that's great value

Extremely Comfortable
I was very sceptical about buying any boots online, how would they fit? what if ????
I found the site from the boot manufacturer, they showed how to measure your foot properly, and how much room to allow for a motorcycle boot. I have had these boots for about 2 months, ridden over 3k and walked alot in them. Would buy them again for sure.

My husband bought these boots for me (in Black) for my birthday in February so I have had a full riding season in them. I love them. They are very well made and they have a lot of support. They never got too hot and we rode in some 38 degree C weather but we also rode in 7 - 8 degrees C on the highway and my feet were not cold either. It was also easy to wipe the dust off them. The only small issue I've had is that you need high socks so the top of the boot doesn't rub on your legs. I had read that in the review before we bought them so I was prepared. I will now be buying a brown pair for my husband for Christmas!

Nice boots
These are nice boots and fit well. I was initially concerned they would not fit my double ‘E’ wide foot, but they are perfect. They are quite sturdy so it will take a while to break them in, but so far no blisters!

Ridiculously comfortable engineer style boots.
I was looking for my first pair of engineer style boots. With no prior motorcycle boot experience, I did a little online sleuthing on the TCX brand. I prefered the clean lines and two buckle styling of the TCX Fuel WPs. I have wide (EE), 29 cm long feet and I was a little worried about fitment. Thankfully, a pair of size 45s fit perfectly. One caveat: with feet flat on the ground, if you rock your feet back on your heels, the boot front collar/shaft will contact your shins. This probably won't be an issue after the boots are broken in. Otherwise, this is an excellent boot.
