Product Details
The TCX Dartwood Tex motorcycle shoes in Black / White combine an urban trainer-inspired look with certified riding protection and an aerated upper for warmer-weather commuting. They are designed to feel comfortable both on the motorcycle and while walking, with a side zip for quick entry alongside conventional laces.
Warm-weather urban motorcycle shoes
Dartwood Tex uses abrasion-resistant fabric for airflow, reinforced with suede leather in the gear-shift area. TCX does not list a waterproof membrane for this model, so it is best suited to dry, warm conditions rather than wet-weather touring.
Key features
- Aerated abrasion-resistant fabric and suede leather upper
- D3O® inserts at the ankles
- Reinforced malleolus, toe and heel areas
- ZPLATE midsole for transverse rigidity with longitudinal walking flexibility
- Groundtrax® wear-resistant rubber outsole with hexagonal tread

Protection and certification
These shoes are CE Category II certified to EN 13634. D3O® ankle inserts and reinforcement around the malleolus, toe and heel provide motorcycle-specific protection, while the ZPLATE structure helps resist transverse deformation without making normal walking unnecessarily stiff.
