The Elsinore Boots are Very Nice - HD Hank
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: [None]
Cons: [None]
Overall, I really like the boot, and I don't regret the purchase.I wear a size 14, so I was concerned that it wouldn't be big enough. I have to go up a size to 15 when I wear some swoosh branded products, but these felt pretty spot on size-wise. The buckles do allow some fine tuning around the ankles and calves, but I haven't had to mess with them.They're a great combination of style and function. I ride a v-strom, and I wanted something that would work on-road as well as for some light trail duty.Like others have mentioned, the insoles aren't that comfortable, and you may have to adjust your shift lever. I haven't bought a replacement insole yet, but I'd definitely consider it if I did more walking in them. Being a leather boot, there isn't a lot of airflow, but it's comparable to some waterproof touring boots.
Great looking and Comfortable - Flyboy4323
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Good looks and Comfort
Cons: [None]
They're on my Softail everyday, but I've been able to comfortably ride a Triumph Bonneville SE and a Duc Monster that was a bit tight and could have used a shifter adjustment also, but not my bike. Good looking, good feeling, safe boot.This boot looks fantastic and has a host of rider protection. The fit was right on and the boot is comfortable enough to walk around in no marathons. It is very stiff, however, and will require some break-in time. Flex in the ankle area is okay I had to adjust my shifter to fit this boot comfortably without the feeling of 'fishing' for the peg for upshift. As the leather softens, I might be able to drop it back down a degree or two, though. Buckle adjustments are simple and the side zipper makes the boot super easy to get on or off once the adjustment is made. It's a warm boot not a bad thing in sub- three digit temp, but it can get a bit toasty over that though, what would one expect with zero venting. Only a couple of weeks in, but with a couple hundred miles with them they seem to be holding up well.
Almost Perfect, but still love them - Harley Man
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: comfortable, durable, great quality
Cons: not waterproof
I fell in love with the looks of the Icon 1000 series boots...they are just incredible looking. I purchased the brown boots even though my pants and vest are black. I get compliments EVERYWHERE and not just from fellow riders. Everyone wants to know what they are and where to buy them.I was impressed with their durability and quality. For under 300 dollars these are incredible...if you tried to buy these in a store you could easily see them marked up to 500 because of their quality. My Harley is so low that my feet drag on some intense corners and these have met contact with the pavement a few times but the soles have held up well. The rubber grips give you good contact with slippery pavement which has saved my bike a few times on uneven stops.Even more impressive is their comfort. Without even breaking them in my normal boot size fit wonderfully well and didn't cause any pain or discomfort. I have not worn them longer than 5 hours at a time, but I have done grocery shopping in them and plenty of riding and they are just great, comfortable riding boots.I own a pair of the Rim fire Gloves from the Icon 1000 line, and they seem to trade protection for looks and comfort. These boots don't appear to sacrifice anything, and I do feel safer in them.
Great Boots - LT ADDICT CA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Sturdy construction, good protection, looks good, good fit
Cons: Extremely stiff when new. Made in China.
I looked at these boots online for months, hoping they would go on sale. No luck, so I finally decided to just dive in and spend the 245.00. They fit well right out of the box, so the sizing is good. To say they are sturdy is a significant understatement. The reinforcement in the shin area is heavy duty. There is an elastic suspended, circular pad, that fits over the inside of the anklebone. Nice touch. The zippers are heavy duty and work smoothly. The strapbuckle adjustment is a bit stiff at first, but it is a secure system. I've worn them several times now and others have commented on the looks and asked where I bought them. Be aware that they are VERY stiff when you first put them on. I recommend wearing them, walking in them, squatting and working the ankles loose before your first ride. I had a heck of a time shifting my first time out. Lesson learnedOverall, I'm very happy with them. I only gave them 4 stars due to the initial heavy stiffness which I'm still working out, and the fact that they're made in China. I'll see how they wear over the coming seasons.
