The first pair of TCX motorcycle boots were launched back in 1999, when the company/brand was still known as OXTAR boots.

Back then, the Treviso-based technical footwear manufacturer patented its Torsion Control System (TCS®), which protects the ankle from possible trauma by allowing the controlled movement of the foot along the longitudinal and lateral axis.

OXTAR enjoyed immediate success as it became a leader in its sector in Italy before eventually expanding and consolidating international distribution throughout Europe and other overseas countries.

The re-branding to TCX happened in 2007, when OXTAR was acquired by Novation S.p.A, a highly regarded global company providing technical expertise to many of the world’s top athletic footwear brands.

Despite the new identity, TCX continued to become the leading brand of motorcycle boots in Europe, with a renewed emphasis on the technical aspects of the full line of products, which have set industry standards for innovation, quality and protection.

In September of 2020, TCX was acquired by Italian motorcycle gear maker Dainese.

“Improving safety in dynamic sports has always been the Dainese mission,” said Cristiano Silei, CEO of the Dainese Group.

With its acquisition, the Dainese Group went one step closer from its goal of providing riders with motorcycle gear from head to toe, as it already has AGV helmets and the Dainese motorcycle gear brands under its umbrella.

“[We are] committing to ongoing research into innovative systems that protect athletes from head to toe. We are extremely proud of this operation. TCX shares with Dainese the passion for product and adds technical and development skills that are fundamental in motorbike footwear. I take the opportunity to welcome the TCX team. We cannot wait [to start] working together,” Silei added.

With safety in mind, TCX became the first company in its sector to introduce the CE Certification (issued at European level by independent bodies) on all products as a proof of the brand’s passing of strict safety standards.

TCX continues to offer a wide range of motorcycle boots in the market, ranging from road racing, offroad, touring, and leisure riding footwear.

Conscious as ever of the topic of safety for the motorcyclist, TCX® is at the cutting-edge, having patented efficient systems and fine-tuning them over the years, in the pursuit of an increasingly extreme protection, without ever forgetting to combine it with the utmost comfort. We were the first (year 2000) to launch onto the market motorcyclist boots certified according to EN13634 regulation. We have worked hard to pass ever-challenging tests and to offer collections that comply with the new standards set by the various amendments to the standard. Today, we are in a position to guarantee CE certified footwear for all uses: from road to off road racing, to touring use, and even footwear designed for urban and leisure usage.
