-

TESTED BY: Charlie MILES: 2,000+ TIME: 2 years PRICE: £129.99 WEB: Google it... A purchase h inspired i id byb llaz in ess,i the X -Move is the perfect urban boot for me giving protection on the bike and comfort off it, so no need to change. With a stiff heel and ankle protection, the X -Move also has subtle gear change pads toward the toe and is built up with additional protection where you would have a slider in a sports boot, justin case the run home gets a bit fruity.

Complete with waterproof lining the X -Move is a good looking boot with carbon-esq ue detailing up the ankle and wear resistant tex tile mesh up the seam of the lacing to allow for moisture to escape. It also has a comfy padded mesh at the opening of the boot. The laces are held tightly in place via a V elcrol strapt att ththe ttop so as not t to get caught up in the gear or braking mechanism.

As for wear, a double compound waterproof sole gives a longevity that will keep these on my feet for a long time yet. In essence it’s a brilliant four seasonal boot, I would favour a sports boot on a long fast j aunt but these are ideal for the day to day with your lined j eans – begs the q uestion, why discontinu­e TCX ? The answer being, they have bettered it presumably with either the V ibe Air, or Rush. Not tried either of these but know there are still X -Moves around for purchase, discounted too so there are deals to be had if you are on the lookout for a brilliant all-round urban boot.
