This TCX RT-Race Pro Air Boots review examines a perforated microfibre sports boot with internal lacing and a Double Flex Control System. Its layered fastening, replaceable sliders and calf gaiter give riders several specific points to check when comparing race-style footwear.

Internal lacing and Double Flex Control
The Fasten Fit Control arrangement uses interior lacing around a padded tongue. Outside, an elasticated zip, hook-and-loop tab and adjustable shin buckle complete the fastening. Set each part in sequence and check that the calf gaiter sits comfortably. The Double Flex Control structure is intended to limit ankle twisting; assess its alignment and the movement available when reaching your controls.
Perforated microfibre and a mesh lining are ventilation-related details of this Air version. The checked specification does not list a waterproof membrane, so treat wet-weather requirements separately. Toe and heel sliders are replaceable polyurethane components, and the anatomic footbed can also be changed. Identify the exact compatible parts before buying spares. Try the sole and integrated shift area against your own motorcycle, checking heel retention and gear-lever clearance. The padded rear flex area should be assessed with the complete closure secured, rather than as an isolated comfort feature.
Protection and construction
The specification lists protection at the toe sliders, heel, ankle and shin. Check that these areas sit correctly when you adopt your riding position.
