Thanks Joe.  I actually sent a message to cycleplusonline.com asking about that - they got back to me within an hour and the guy said to stick with Gearne - SG12s are the go-to for big calves, so evidently the TCXs are smaller then the SG cut.  I wear SG10s now, and even they are marginal.

Yes Gaerne for big calves

Got mine on monday. nice boots. a little spacious in the toe box but some inserts will make then nice snug and comfy. SUPER GOOD DEAL

I jumped on a pair. Nice boots especially for the price.

On the down side, even though i probably shouldn't care since just about everything is made in china, I do feel a little duped these are made in China not Italy.

says steel toe cap. is this just the add on little sole protector or an actual ASTM steel toe?

Got mine today. They sure are pretty in red/white/blue. Black was sold out in my size. Fwiw, I normally wear a size 11 and ordered same. They fit perfect.

Tom, I don't see any steel on the outside of toe area anywhere , so not sure.

Mine showed up today. Not bad for a $199. Definitely not sg-12s. Size 11 seems true to size . One thing I did notice they are bulkier around the ankle on the outsides. May not be a good tight singletrack boot.

Can you explain that a bit more, i'm on the fence about buying these myself. Are you saying they are not a good choice?

For $199 there a good boot, I'm not sorry I bought them.  I had never seen these in person so I took a gamble. The quality looks good and they don't need any break in time.  Fit wise they are snugger than sg-12s  but bigger than the Sidi boots I tried on. There is more plastic on the outside ankle making them a little wider. May not be an issues unless you ride very primitive trails.Only time will tell how they hold up. Here is a pic of the boots for comparison. I will try them out this weekend.

For half the price of SG12 , they appear fairly substantial and not only just half as good.

I was a little surprised when I saw this, but wouldn't consider it a deal breaker because my old worn out $600 Tech 10's were made in Croatia.

Deal is still running, just picked up a pair myself.

What was the fit like? True to street shoe size or other?

[trailmeisterjoe]

Still lot's available. GOOD $550 boots for $200. Hard to beat.

Doesn’t seem to be any 10’s left. I usually wear a 9.5 in boots, would a 9 work since you guys are saying they run a little big?
