Comfortable boot but definitely not waterproof
These boots are advertised as waterproof but they are definitely not. Splashproof maybe but if you're riding in a sustained rain shower your feet will get wet. Other than they I've found them to be very comfortable.

Most comfortable boot that I have owned
I purchased these boots a few months ago and they are fantastic. Easily the most comfortable boots that I have owned. My foot feels secure and the padding just hugs my feet. The boot feels great on the bike but also just walking around after you get to your destination.

My new favorite boots
These boots require zero break in period. out of the box these are more comfortable to wear than any other regular boots I've personal worn. I would feel comfortable riding all day with these and walking in them where ever I needed to go. The feedback and feel you get from the pegs and levers will give you great confidence whereover you're headed.

Amazing
This boot is perfect for touring and everyday riding. It's low profile enough you could wear it as just a lifestyle footwear, but offers the protection if you need it. Delivery was fast and I had them on my foot before the weekend. Absolutely fantastic product and service.

Comfortable and stylish
I bought these boots in the early summer of 2025. I first used them on a motorcycle tour of the French Pyrenees; and have continued to use them this season. The indicated sizing was bang on - they fit my feet perfectly, as long as the socks aren't too thick. They are very comfortable for both riding and walking.
Yes, they are waterproof. I did spray them with a couple of coats of silicone; and I do keep them clean, occasionally applying shoe polish. I like that they cover my ankles - much better than the Gore-Tex shoes I made the mistake of buying earlier.
The only negative is that one of the eyelets tends to shred the lace on one of the boots, which I had to replace after a month. The new laces I got from Amazon seem much more durable.

Initial impression: comfortable, stylish, quality.
I just purchased these as a secondary pair of motorcycle footwear for shorter rides where I'm spending some time off the bike. My only motorcycle footwear has been Forma Adventure Lows, which are great boots for riding and I'll continue to wear with my full Gore-Tex suit, but scream MOTORCYCLE BOOT when off the bike and are about as comfortable as ski boots to walk in. The TCX Hero 2 were to wear with Klim jeans and leather jacket, and look more civilian and walk more comfortably when wondering around town or going to a restaurant.
I initially purchased the same size as my Formas (slightly uncomfortable just below the laces, I have wide feet), which I returned for the next larger size, which fit great. I haven't worn these on the bike yet, but they've been worn through 1/2 a workday at home and walking several hundred meters in my neighbourhood. I generally forgot I was wearing boots while working and these feel closer to a light duty hiker or casual winter boot while walking around than a motorcycle or construction boot. I won't wear these as casual footwear, but I wouldn't hesitate to explore a small town or a couple km hiking trail with these.
Protection appears superior to a non-motorcycle boot with hard armour (internal) over both ankles and heal, a second layer of leather in the toe, and good side stiffness (protect against rolling an ankle). Forward flex is comparatively soft (why they're comfortable walking) and there is no shin protection as their a low boot. I won't ride off-road or set out on a multi-day ride with these,or wear the all day at the office, they will remove the temptation to wear non-motorcycle footwear on an evening ride to a restaurant or to the store.
These appear to be well built with both quality materials and robust construction. Most of the stitching is double row, the eyelets are metal, the zipper is YKK and the insole is removable. There are a few minor cosmetic blemishes in the leather and inconsistencies in the stitching, consistent with hand-made, natural leather products.
Personally, I cannot get in and out of these by only opening the side zipper when they're laced to my liking. I can put them on or take them off by only untying them but also opening the side zipper makes it even easier.
The only negative observation, and I expect this will go away with a little wear, is the soles are slippery (and squeak on my tile floor). This feels like residue from manufacturing which will eventually wear off and the lugs are already grippier than the voids after a short walk outside.
My 4-star rating reflects these being priced at the upper end of casual / heritage motorcycle boots, which drives an expectation of premium quality and comfort, and my initial impression is aligned with that expectation. If it wasn't, I would have refunded vs replaced the first pair which were a bit small.

Amending an earlier review of these boots...
While they're very comfortable, I'm pretty disappointed that after only a handful of rides in them two of the eyelet grommets for the laces have already come out of the holes in the leather. This doesn't seem to bode well for the longevity of the boots.

Comfy and dry
Very comfortable and stayed waterproof during constant rain while taking my licensing course over a weekend. 4 stars because while better than no boots, not sure how safe these would really be in an accident.

Questions
How do these boots fit width wise? If a person has wider than average feet will these work for them?
Online reviews and popular pages state "TCX boots to be “roomy” through the instep and ball area of the foot so the boots will work best for those with wider/thicker feet."

Is there any certification rating on these?
Description says there's a side zipper - photos do not seem to show one?
Here is a photo showing the side zipper: http://imglin.com/bK4Ec8hrVX.png
