They are quite hot, so not an option for city riding in summer, 1500km long trip has shown that you barely feel them on your feet, however once you walk, you get sweat in 10 mins.
PS if you have bought a pair of these - don't pull the rear rubber thingy. I've teared mine.

TCX X-Cube Boots vs Alpinestars Fastback WP. Which one would you go with?

I'm torn between these two products. I watched the Revzilla review videos for both of them. TCX seems to have a less stiff sole (good for walking), better protection on ankles and toes, and cost $70 less. Are the A* shoes $70 more just because they are more stylish? Is it because they're higher quality? Or am I missing something? Thanks for help and advice!
If you're looking for waterproof boots, then go for something else than TCX X-Cube.
I bought TCX about a month ago and today was my first rain in them. I was driving 15 km/h near the side of the road and there was a puddle, the boots got wet on the toe as soon as I got the first wave of the water on my feet. I mean completely wet - I could hear that sound while walking back from the parking.
They are quite hot for walking and city riding when it's +25\+27 degrees C.
They were comfortable in the long ride (12-15 hours @ +15-+20 C).

I wouldnt buy them again as they are not WP.
