Default Icon Motorhead II boots

Wel after having to get paypal involved i finally got these boots. They look pretty decent imo http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1. I paid 110 shipped which isn't bad price ive seen them listed for 150. I will let yall know how they feel while riding ankle support feels good tho.

Do you guys usually put some type of stuff to help boots break in. These boots are real stiff which i know most boots are when new because im in military. Just wondering if theres any good break in procedure. I am just not used to having such a big toe so sometimes i didn't realize i was holding shifter up. I duno i rode like 180 miles or so with them i like them overall so far as long as they rbeak in good

they look like the toes are way bigger than any other boot i've had.
I recommend Sidis.
I just got the B2s and they're nice. I can actually feel the shifter and brake.

I have the same boots. They broke in after about 300 ish miles of riding. I havnt had any problemsd with the toe, but I wear an 8.5 so I dont have to worry about that. Anyone with a 9.5 or bigger shoe probebly doesnt want these boots.


TThey do look gay to me, but they offer a good amount of protection for there purpose.

Yea i was typing sidis i didn't know the brand name so these are them http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW. I just want to know if a boot that is that high is comfortable or not. Thats why i went with the icon boots because they aren't so high.

I like high boots. They completely comfortable, and for me they block the head coming off the backside header. Walking in them is totally fine. There's a reason why everyone wear's high boots, they offer great support, protection, and they're not uncomfortable. And they fit right under your jeans, so there's no reason to really worry what they look like. And later if you actually start wearing riding pants you can tuck them in to the boots like you're supposed to.
Here's where i bought my boots

I also have a set of A* SMX-Plus boots, which feel like they offer more protection over the B2s, but the B2s are just so damn comfortable.
