Yes. The name may sound more like a country club. And the Dartwoods may resemble hikers or perhaps topsiders more than the average riding shoe, but, nevertheless, the TCX Dartwood Gore-Tex Boots smash together the style of a round toe chukka with performance and comfort that raise TCX’s longstanding moto reputation to new levels. The Dartwood GTX Riding Shoes use a leather upper that is backed by a Gore-Tex Extended Comfort inner membrane. This membrane provides a waterproof barrier that is breathable and guaranteed for life. The list of Who’s Who does not stop there. The sole and footbed are crafted by industry specialists Groundtrax and Ortholite, respectively. Impact-absorbing malleolus inserts are sourced from D3O. TCX engineers the ZPLATE midsole in-house – striking a balance between transverse rigidity, crush resistance and walking comfort. Gore-Tex versions of the Dartwood receive blacked-out TCX branding, black round rope boot-style shoe laces and black soles. Red stitching accents the seam between the leather upper and toe. Features: Full grain leather upper GORE-TEX Extended Comfort breathable inner membrane Reinforced midsole with ZPLATE shank to balance flexibility with transverse rigidity Reinforcements on malleolus with D3O inserts Reinforcements at toe and heel Rear reflective insert Lace closure with elastic band to store the laces Easy entry inner side zipper OrthoLite footbed with long term cushioning and high levels of breathability Oil-resistant Groundtrax rubber outsole CE 13634:2017 certified
