Icon Field Armor Boot 11 Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these a few years ago after finding them online at Icon's website.When I first pulled them out of the box, I was highly impressed.They look well made, sturdy, and had a pretty kick @ss look to them.You could tell by looking at them that they'd hold together well in the event of a crash.

The first problem came when I put them on.The boots themselves are so stiff there's almost no flex what-so-ever to them.If you have to walk, it's even worse than trying to walk around in ski boots.At first, I thought to myself, "Hey, these are 'riding' boots anyway... It's not like I plan to do all that much walking in them."

Then, the second and third and probably most concerning problems were discovered after I took them out for a test ride.Upon mounting the bike, I immediately noticed that from the bottom of the sole to the top of the toe was ENTIRELY too thick and I couldn't even get my toe under the shift lever.Okay, no problem! Five minutes with some tools, I adjusted my rearsets and could get my toe under the shift lever. Sort of... (Note: I was using stock rearsets and the adjustments probably would have been more effective with a more adjustable after-market set.)
Basically, to get my toe under the shift lever, I had to rotate my toe to the outside and swing it down and under the lever.

The final problem was found upon taking them out for a spin.In addition to having to rotate my foot to get it under the shifter, I now had a new problem to compound the issue.The leather is thick - good in case of a wreck, not so good if you can't feel the shift lever to get your foot on/under it when you need to change gears.

Pros:Highly protective
Look cool

Cons:No tactile feedback from shift lever due to thickness of leather
Toe too thick to fit under stock rearsets

Bottom Line: A cool looking boot festered by the problems of poor design and testing.Best to take a pass...
