 When
getting outfitted for a street ride we all take great care in choosing
the right helmet, perfect jacket, gloves, eye protection, even chaps
or riding pants. We sometimes save the footwear for last, often torn
between style and comfort and leaving little thought for safety. But
your boots are an important part of your safety gear, especially when
you consider that your boots will absolutely make contact with the road
surface several times during your ride. And your boots are the main contact
for major control surfaces of the bike, shifting, braking, and balance
points through the foot pegs. If anything should happen to go even a
little bit wrong, it is most likely that the first thing you’ll
do is put a foot down on the road to re-establish balance. When all is
considered, it is easy to see that good boots can be just as important
as a good helmet, jacket, gloves or any other item in your safety apparel.Icon is a company that understands the real needs of real street riders. Not content to be a “me too” company that makes and sells whatever is popular, Icon does real world research and testing to find out what riders need and want and then Icon makes it better. The Icon Standard Boot is just one example. The Icon Standard boots look as good off your bike as they function on your bike. Blending the classic style of the modern urban hiker with motorcycle specific features, the Standard boot once again raises the bar of performance motorcycle footwear. These boots have many great features such as a rubber shift lever interface, an internal steel shank and an internal ankle protection padded collar that makes this true motorcyclist’s footwear and separates this boot from your ordinary hiking or work boot. Premium grade leather, waterproof construction, high-quality foot bed, and a custom non-slip rubber sole to stand up to the harsh roadbed, make this the ideal on and off the bike boot. The Icon Standard boot come in women’s and men’s sizes and is one of the only motorcycle-riding boots that comes in half sizes. They retail for $120 and are comfortable, very comfortable. Basically, with this boot there is no compromise of safety, style or comfort. The Icon Standard boot has it all.
