Pretty sure the TCX are rebadged as BMW (I have a pair) Adventure boots.

Not cheap, but great quality.

My feet are sensitive to cold due to previous frost bite damage. Extreme pain when near or below freezing.

Your list of boots is quite good. I recently bought the TCX Track Evo boots and previously owned the TCX (was Oxtar) GTX Infinity Gore-Tex. TCX do a really nice job on their Gore-Tex boots. Expensive, yes but it bloody well works!

The "new" Evo version is probably even better.

I bought the TCX Track Evo because I wanted more off road protection than the Infinity offers. The Infinity is a "softer" boot, and as comfortable as a good Italian loafer.

My latest Track Evo boots are also very comfortable, most comfortable off road boot I've tried ... ever. But these are a budget boot in some ways ($239 USD) ... so no Gore-Tex liner. They use a non breathable waterproof liner instead, I've not tested them in rain yet.

Gore Tex is definitely A GO!

SIDI are quite popular, but I've read several bad reviews on them lately. Also very high priced.

If you're not doing off road I'd go for the TCX Infinity GTX Gore Tex EVO.
Expensive but well made boots. I saw Altberg boots while visiting UK, at a big bike show. Met an Alberg rep. They look pretty good, never wore them.
They are very popular in UK ... but I really wonder about comfort?

The Infinity boot you can wear all day walking. It really is versatile and if I was riding ONLY on road, that'd be my boot. But I'm very happy with the Track Evo boots so far. Only complaint on those is they get a bit warm
(not breathable) But for me that's fine as I struggle to keep my feet from freezing!

Good luck, try them on if you can!

Forma Adventure is waterproof- not just pretty good, but actually waterproof. I've been riding in some hard rains this past week and these boots keep my feet absolutely dry. This is my third season with them.

Dry socks! Even under the left shifter pad.

Comfortable boot for both on road and off road. Not a motocross boot though.

Many thanks Guys. Both your suggestions noted and will be acted upon. And thanks too Mollyd because I had thought that the Track Evo's WERE Goretex! Had thought they would be fine.

The Forma ones' look great but can I buy them in the UK?

Altbergs, I have used Altbergs Hoggs in preference to almost every other boot i have tried, They may not offer as much protection as some boots but hey ho and certainly less for off road stuff which i have also used them for (limited and gentle /slow green lanes and gravel tracks etc) but as a general everyday boot and touring boot they are simply excellent.
Go to the factory in Richmond they will make them to measure if there is any problem with your fitting.
My boots lasted 6 years of hard use into Arctic Norway and Russia, touring into southern and eastern Europe as well as being used almost daily as a general bike boot. They are very comfortable off the bike and i have used them often as winter hill walking boots.
A boot that does everything.

Once they were worn out i sent them back to Altberg who dismantled them, relined and rebuilt them to as new with some extra large leather protection on the areas where it was obvious i had excess wear from gear lever etc they came back like new for only £80.

I now wear them as they are my only bike boots for everything and they will see me back upto Archangel next year with whatever weather that throws at me - they have never leaked in all the years i have worn them. In cold countries or very wet weather i do wear walking boot gaitors to stop ingress from over the top of the boot.

Sorry i couldn't make Applecross family stuff come up.

I started my trip with Sidi Adventure boots. They lasted only 6 months and most of the time they were annoyingly noisy.
After this I used only Alpinestars Toucan boots. Quality is not as good as I got used to when using Tech-series boots.
Toucan boots were really warm, no problems even in freezing temperatures.

Remember always use dry socks and if it´s getting really cold, few socks at the same time.

Ordered a pair of the TCX Infinity's from MotoCentral.
The website listed them as "available".....
Paid for them and waited on confirmation of shipping only to hear that "the standard Infinity boots are discontinued, replaced by Infinity Evo's"
If still wanted, they would sell them for the same price.....

Anyone else wanting new TCX Infinity Evo's????
£209.00??!!

Is the sizing correct or do you need to order bigger or smaller size?

I think they're pretty close, but I wear different sizes depending on how wide the fore foot is ( this boot has a nice wide toe box)
