Icon Field Armor Boots

I just got a pair. For the money, they're very well built.

Here's what I ran into. The toe box of the boot is quite thick, and I have a hard time getting it under my shifter lever.

I don't have giant feet or anything, they're size 10.

I have adjusted the lever up as far as it will go. However, it's still not quite right.

What are my options? A longer and/or higher shifter lever? I think if it gets too high, it's going to be strange during downshifts.

I really want to keep these boots!

JT... I know what you're saying. I have a a few pairs of steel toed work boots that I wear... one set that I wear all the time on the bike aren't bad, but one pair is just like that.

You just get use to swinging your toe out farther to get it under.

More over, you have to do that, till at least you get the boot broke in. That will help more than you think.

If you want to keep the boots it sounds like moding you shift lever is your only option.

I really like the Icon gear :dthumb: , but when I tried on the Field Armor Boots they were way to stiff, they felt like ski boots.

They are stiff, but man, talk about protection!

You should post a pic of them or a link so other can learn what you're talking about...

Yeah I've seen those... definatly look like they'd protect ya... but no my style... they look HEAVY... :disapp:

Here is a link to them. (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=20796&department=115&division=1&WT.MC_ID=80003)

I have a pair of the Super Duty 2 (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com /item.aspx?style=17843&department=115&division=1) and I thought they were a bit stiff and clunky, thats until I tried on the field armor ones. Holly cow they are stiff. But I don't think you could find anything that would protect your feet any more if you tried... Your feet might be safe, they might just not be attached to your legs anymore but they won't have a scratch on 'em.:yikes:

They have zippers on the sides, so, theoretically, you can set the buckles & laces up the way you like them, then just unzip to get out of them.

However, that's not the case. You still have to undo the laces to get them to open up far enough to get your foot back in.

Yeah they sure look "stellar"

i don't like the looks of them.

Ok...let me clarify... they look "lunar" (sp?)

i don't like the looks of them.
:withstupi but, the shifter has two ways to adjust. One is to remove from shaft and pivot in desired direction. The other is to adjust the rod.:luck:

I turned the adjusting rod so the shifter lever moved up some. What's the other adjustment on there?

Remove the linkage from the trans and rotate it a few threads one way or the other. Its self explanatory once you look at it.

Thanks. I think I'll give that a try.

After some shifter lever adjustments and about an hour on the bike, I have decided that the boots just don't work for me. So, if anyone wants some nearly new Icon Field Armor boots, I have them up on EBay:

Point taken. I'll do that from now on. If anyone wants to buy them before I get a bidder, I can cancel the auction.

How about this: free shipping to TWF members!
