Had my Black Icon's for a few years - these boots are a copy of the original Australian Rossi MotoX boots that were ubiquitous here in the 70's and 80's - these same Rossi Boots are those you see in the first Mad Max film worn by Toe Cutter and members of the Biker gang. You can still pick up old 2nd hand sets of the original Rossi Boots in OZ from time to time but the Icon 1000's are the only place you can find them in a new configuration these days. I Love mine but they are definitely a very tight fit in the calf if you want trousers INSIDE the boot ...

I've been wearing these boots every day for two weeks now, I wear them as regular boots, not riding a bike (yet). I've put another thin insole in to raise the comfort level. They're really rigid because they were designed to be protective, so they put a strain on your feet after wearing them for a number of hours, but you just mingle your feet once in a while and it's ok again. I work an office job, don't recommend them to be used as working boots because of the abovementioned rigidity. The three adjustability levels of the five buckles really makes a difference. So, my conclusion is that they: -- are the coolest boots that I've ever had, the design is fabulous (constantly getting compliments) -- are sturdy and rigid -- are protective -- are water resistant (heavy rain and they didn't leak) -- can be worn under your pants (the fit of the pants must be wide) -- can be worn as a regular pair of boots

I’ve got a pair. What should be mentioned is that the toe of the boot is very thick and this can be a problem with using the gear lever

Are they comfortable for wearing all day, even when you're not riding?

Hey Dan! I have a question about these boots. The aluminum shin guard.... how hot do they get for long rides? I did a 6 hour ride last summer taking breaks every tank fill and only had sport ankle boots. I got really bad engine burn over my shins. I'm looking for a really good pear of protective boots. Will these do the job? Anyone is welcome to reply with feedback on these as well.

I don’t see Dans reply so I don’t know what he said, but here’s my two cents on that: nope. I once shattered my ankle while riding a bicycle at low speed in a parking lot while wearing steel toed work boots. Perhaps without the boots I would’ve had a compound fracture, but even with them I hurt myself very badly. Couldn’t walk for several months and was with a cane for several more. I’d say not worth the risk, get proper riding boots.
