Well Made.
As soon as I zipped up the zipper on these bad boys, I instantly grew a beautiful chest length beard. The shirt I was wearing became embolden with a flannel pattern and I had an unbelievable thirst for cold brew coffee!
In all seriousness, this is a great boot with a ton of handy features and with the good year welt you can bet on this boot being a favorite for a loooong time.
Looks great hanging off the pegs of any bike you can think of, not just Cafe Racers ;)

Super Good
I’ve have these for a couple seasons now, and have mostly glorious things to say about them.
Fit: I was worried about ordering online because I need to put orthotics in my shoes to save my back. I ordered the same size as my running shoes (44) and the fit is perfect. Also, easily adjustable with the laces, (you never need to use the laces because of the zipper) if you want a tight fit just tighten the laces, if you want air in the heat just loosen.
Style: Another worry was they would be over the top shiny and “green” looking. I am very very pleased with their styling. It’s a subtle gentlemanly look, that takes on scratches in its stride.
Comfort: very pleased with the comfort. I wear them everyday for about 7 hours straight. The only discomfort is overheating. Being waterproof - the air circulation is non existent. So I have been wearing sport socks when it’s hot, and warm socks to create fires in my boots on cold days.
Traction: fantastic grip. At first they are squeaky as heck - I let soles slide on the ground on my first drive to wear off a (TINY) bit of the rubber. (I recommend this but be careful don’t overdo it and don’t hurt yourself)
Highly highly recommend, I chose these more expensive ones because the zipper on the side saves me headaches. Would only have asked for a loop on the rim of the boot to help pull these on.
10/10 would buy again, outstanding quality.
F9 had the best price I could find at the time. I only wish they had sent me an F9 sticker for my bike!

Nice looking well made boot.
I have had these boot for a month. Extremely well made and great looking. The brown is a bit darker than it looks in pics. Boots are supple rightbout of the box but good thick leather. They feel a bit heavy but this obviously means they are solid and offer good protection. They are warm as noted in other reviews but I left on all day at work and it was okay. They have good foam insoles for excellent walking support. I have received compliments on their appearance even from non bikers who think they are simply nice boots. You get what you pay for and these boots are worth the money.

Comfortable Footbed
I have been eyeing this for a year or so now, and finally purchased them; I should have done so sooner. I am not sure what footbed is in this, but I wish all of my (non motorcycle) shoes and boots had it; it's that comfortable. No break in period required.
I just had them out in 24 degrees, and yes they are a bit hot but that's the trade off with the waterproofing I imagine.
They are a darker brown (think dark chocolate) than the photograph, but I am okay with that.
If you want that ankle boot, with the style, and convenience of a side zipper, do not hesitate to purchase these.

TCX Hero
I bought these boots about a month ago. They run true to size. The leather is a somewhat of a chocolate brown, not like the picture. They are really comfortable and the memory foam foot bed is awesome. The comments about the leather developing a patina over time I don't believe to be true. It's a smooth finished leather and will get scratched and show wear, but I don't you can call that patina. They are great comfortable boots and fantastic for in town riding.

Nice looking boots
I like the look and fit of the boots. They could use more arch support if you are going to walk in them.
I rode in rain for about 45 mins and my feet were wet. This is disappointing as the waterproofing was the main reason I purchased the Heros.

Comfortable cool low key style
Have used these boots for about four months. The were comfortable right out of the box and just getting more so with wear. They were comfortable when the summer temperatures were plus 30 and keeping my feet warm at 7 to 10 degrees with a pair of thin smart wool ski socks. The little insert at the Achilles tendon provides easier foot flexion when up shifting. Also they are not over bulky so good feel on the foot controls. Look good and are comfortable when walking around too.

Comfy boots
I really like the boots, no break-in required as they were comfy on day one.I normally wear a size 12 but order a 47 or 12.5 and they fit fine. They came in a few days and service was great. Returned another item that I bought cause I ordered the wrong colour and got a refund within a week!

Questions
Is the waterproof lining removable?
No, it isn’t removable. But really, other than the little flap behind the zipper, you don’t even know it’s there. They aren’t bulky, they fit like a normal non-waterproof boot. I’ve had mine for over a year and they’re the best boots I’ve ever had, and are still waterproof. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again, but because they’re so well built and the soles are replaceable, I’ll be able to do that.

If you wear a 10.5 US would you go up to the 45 or down to the 44? I take it that there isn't a 44.5 size available.
Hi. I’ma 91/2 Canadian, with a broader foot, and my TCX Heroes are a European 43 / 9 U.S. the first pair I tried were 44s and they felt and looked too large. In other words, I would probably tend to go down half a size. These are very robust boots, with the best protection of any I own in both the ankle and toe area. The waterproofing extends within 2” of the top of the boot. Good sole ... not too beefy. So you know ... the finish has a matte/oiled appearance, not polished.

Are these unisex? I'm a 9 in womens
They are men's boots. If you wanted to order for women's you would want to order 1.5 sizes smaller than your usual women's size. Please note however that men's boots are usually a little wider too.

Do they have a Goodyear welt ? Is the sole replaceable ?
What is the width of these boots and how heavy are they? Thanks.
4 inches. About the weight of hiking boots. Hope this helps. Love these.
