Boots

Trashman900C · 02-19-2009

im looking for a pair of mc boots........im trying to decide b/w a few pairs....the first three are all ICON boots......im leaning towards one of them b/c of sneakerlike comfort and more modern styling.........
Icon Field Armor Chukka Boots - Motorcycle Superstore
Icon Accelerant Waterproof Boots - Motorcycle Superstore
Icon Super Duty 3 Boots - Motorcycle Superstore

or for something more traditional i like these Milwaukees.......
Milwaukee Motorcycle Clothing Mens Afterburner Boots

does anybody have any experience with any of these boots or brands? or any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Robb

I have a pair of HD lace-up boots. I've had them for the past 4 years of riding and they have been fantastic. I would personally stay away from any boot with a side zipper, my wife had a pair and they leaked like a sieve.

I like the looks of the seond pair. And yes, my wife's boots with the side zipper let in a lot of water.

I'm not sure all zippers are water proof, I wear bates and the way they are designed is that there is a flexible flap on the inside, so when it zips up it's completely sealed, I can walk in 6" of water and not have any problems...
Again I have the bates, pretty light weight, I use them for work as well, and around water sometimes while working... Just my 2 cents

I do like the icon accelerant boot though

i dont ride in the rain so im really not concerned about water........

Sidi Dowa's and Rev'it Freestyle boots. I have both pairs and rotate daily....I liked the "sneaker" type style/feel but still get the protection I need. I switch between sport/cruiser riding during the week and think these two are great. I'm pretty sure they are still less bulky than the Icon's.

I got the Icon super duty 2 last year. they are comfortable. I dint want big ol' boots .You can walk around all day with them on.after the ride or comute or ect..
