Just like their male counterpart, the long-running, best-selling TCX Street Ace and Street Ace Air, these unassuming sneakers offer outsized protection—easily out-performing rugged-looking* classics from Redwing boot, or pretty much any “motorcycle” style leather boot from Frye or the like. 

For starters, this CE-certified motorcycle boot carries ankle armor inside and out. IT’s also got a significantly reinforced heel cup and toe cap. And while we don’t recommend poking your foot underneath the tire of a passing car, if you did happen to do so, you’d be a lot better off than not having a CE sneaker on your foot. 

As per the CE certification test they also pass a specific battery of crush, cut, and tear tests.

Plus, they’re waterproof. Like, really waterproof – which makes them wind-proof and therefore plenty warm in the cooler months. Run a light wicking sock and you’ll get through summer with them, too.

And a few notable points on the women’s-specific perspective. First, while these boots are offered in pink, we’ve listened to our customers and stock them only in black, which is NYC-certified to never go out of style. 

On a more functional note, the shoes have a 2.5cm booster heel covertly built into the women’s specific last. That’s almost a full extra inch of stand-over.
