I don't have those boots, but I have worn TCX for years.
The first set lasted about two years, and then I replaced them. I think one of the seams was busting out, although I wore them every day. They'd also been down in two low-speed wrecks. That said, I still have them upstairs for an emergency, though I suspect they'd pretty well disintegrate on impact at any real speed.
When I replaced them, I bought a pair of Synergy boots on clearance online. Those burst a seam in about four months near a fabric flex point at the curve on the top of the foot (not a critical area, but they weren't very old.) When I emailed TCX I got fantastic customer service - everyone was very friendly and only asked that I send in a picture of the damage (below). Because the boots I bought online were out of production, they replaced them with a significantly more expensive pair and even paid the shipping. I've been wearing those for the last few months.
I haven't had any other pairs of boots, but I hear people tell me all the time about how theirs are fine for riding, but they want them off ASAP. Mine are comfortable as hell, and I wear them everywhere, even if I'm not riding the bike. For that convenience, I'll overlook some of the minor quality quibbles.

yeah Nate thats the reason i got the taller boots for the leg and ankle protection..one of my buddies got in an accident where a car came in his lane and he had no time to react and hit head/left side on which cause both bones in leg (fibula & tibia) to snap in half..if he were wearing a boot like the TCX,Alpinestar/SiDi then i the outcome prbly woulda been different..and for the stars i love then for riding..not much ankle support but makes me feel better they r designed for motorcycle riding versus the tennis shoe which is very common around here..but thanks for the feedback fellas. i love these TCX's so far. Going to make a mountain trip with them and the new Q2's i just put on..
