The best riding boots
What great boots! They are true to size and are very comfortable. I love the wedge heel and nickel hardware. I have received several compliments too!

The size is a perfect fit. If you have wider feet you should probably think about going a half size up. I have had no problem walking around in these boots, although I do frequently wear heels. I highly recommend these!

Awesome boots!!
They are very comfortable for riding on the back of a motorcycle so far but I plan to use them when I get my own bike. I would buy another pair or recommend them to anyone.

Perfectly named...my girlfriend IS a bombshell & she loves the high fashion these boots offer. She has a very responsible job in women's fashion retail & as has been passionately so involved her entire adult life. For me, finding a good pair of boots pleasing to her fashion sense was a real coup

Dropped my bike!
I was on a mission to buy these boots and when I finally did, I LOVED them. They fit true to size (although I have a very thin calf so if you have thick legs, they won't zip up).
I'd say the biggest problem as a rider wearing these boots is that the heel is a wedge so you literally have one inch of surface area on the ground...and for all of you who have ever put your kickstand down on anything soft...well, you can see how quickly your heel, with all your weight on one inch of space, can go down deep. And when your weight goes one way...so does your bike! I have NEVER dropped a bike before this...so needless to say, I'm not wearing these boots anymore. As soon as I put on my flat-footed soft-soled boots again, I was way more stable and comfortable on the bike! But they are hot!

Great Boots
Ok, I have very wide feet and purchased these boots right before I saw all the reviews, which I should not have done. However, I am 5'7 around 135 lbs, wear an 8.5(which is what I ordered) and often have trouble finding boots that fit. When I received these in the mail I tried them on, and though they were tight going on, once my feet were in they felt great! The little stiffness is barely noticeable and should be expected from a new pair of boots. I am confused by all the other reviews of these boots, because had I read them first I would have boots that are way too big! Overall I am very pleased and will purchase more of these shoes when I wear these out.

Not for a rider!
I'm 5'7 and I ride an R1 (sportbike) I'm not short but I can just barely flat-foot with regular shoes. I saw these shoes and figured they would work. Ffter reading reviews and deciding to try them- I did need an 1/2 larger to fit right- I'm sure they need time to break in but at first they are very uncomfortable to walk in. So I took one ride with the bike and felt completely unstable. It was very difficult to move around on the bike (pushing it while on it) because I didn't have any gain in height in the toe area- it was actually worse than with my regular boots! So overall- theses boot may be suitable for a back seat rider- but not for a rider!

AWESOME!
Before I ordered these boots, I was afraid they would look gaudy and not be made for performance. Boy was I wrong! They look and feel FANTASTIC. I am 5'1, and they provide a 3 inch platform for added height, as well as a design that is both stylish and made to protect. Size fit fine, .5 size bigger may be a little more comfortable, but overall A+!

Sweet look!!
It's a good fit for a slim foot. Not durable at all, the heel fell off the next day while riding my motorcycle down the street. The construction of the heel was tacky. It was a sweet looking leather inside & out of boots.

Show stopper!
Hey ladies! This is the boot you would want if you're smaller in stature and want a nice lift. I'm under 5' and have to use some freak show fetish platform boots when I ride my Ducati, but when I'm a passenger and feeling spicy I wanted something that screams sexpot! These definitely fit the bill. These boots aren't clunky like average Harley boots. They don't buckle all that much around the ankle like normal wedge boots do and they have some fine details that you really need to see close up. I didn't have a problem with the size. I'm a 6 across the board and they fit very well. If you're seriously looking for a cat woman style addition to your riding gear you have to check these out. Anyway, you won't be disappointed with the Icons. Take care and ride on!

Great boot, needs thicker soles
I rode in these all summer, and I love them. I am 5'2” and love the added height. They are COMFORTABLE to walk in - I walk 15 minutes to walk after I park my bike and these are great! I love to wear heels, but most usually hurt me by the time I get to work, these are actually pretty good. Concerning riding though - these boots take some getting used to. If you are used to a thicker soled boot, this will be awkward. I used to ride in my Merrel or Born boots (they have no armor/protection though) and the soles are much thicker. These boots are more plastic and don’t grip the best on the pegs. After some practice I found my “sweet spot” on the peg and I feel much more comfortable riding. The toe is actually quite long - which does help with shifting, but is also a bit awkward if you aren’t used to it. I do feel the boots offer me protection than my regular boots, with the padding in the ankle/calves (which makes for a tight fit). If ICON comes out with a thicker soled version I would buy them! I think these were originally designed for a passenger, and they didn’t think about how they would do shifting, etc.

The quality is excellent. Padding in all the right places for extra protection and of course, they look great.

Looks and feels good on the bike, not off
These are mainly a comfortable riding boot, definitely stylish, but I also found them very tight around the calf. I did buy my regular size, so maybe a half size up would have helped. The extra heel height is a plus, as I am a petite rider. These are NOT comfortable for walking around in, but do the job on a ride.

TOO TIGHT!!
The boots look great! I ordered a size larger but they’re too narrow. So narrow to the point that they would not zip up. They should state in the description that the boot runs narrow!

Just got 'em
I just got my boots, and it's hard enough buying shoes online but...my recommendation would be to get a size up simply because the soles are so thin, I would buy a insert for extra padding. The soles are not that comfortable. I had some trouble zipping up past the ankle. I think Icon should give us a wide calf option because the buckles and stretchy back didn't do me much good. You would think that women that ride bikes might have a slightly wider calf from picking up heavy bikes. There’s definitely support, right now there's too much support! I think it is cutting off blood flow and my toe is cramping. Hopefully they break in soon.

I love these boots, they are stylish, comfortable and nice to walk in. They’re great for riding my bike. The size fits great too.

I was very disappointed. First off, after my first wearing, which was for an early spring ride of maybe an hour, and essentially no walking, the metal plate on the back of one of the boots was already coming off. Second, while they are perfectly comfortable on the bike, I found them downright painful to walk/stand in. I bought them as a boot I could wear to ride to work and then be suitable in my office under pants. I am used to wearing heels every day, but after walking a block in these boo

Buy true to size
Considering everybody else's recommendation, I purchased 1/2 size up but it turned out to be waaaay big. So I had to return for the street equivalent size. They do require breaking into but otherwise are relatively comfortable and provide the extra boost in height.

I got these for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves them. She says the boots are comfortable, keep her feet warm and reduce the vibration she normally feels when riding with me. I did buy her a half size bigger than her normal shoe and they fit perfect.

I have large calves so I had to stretch the top a little. Other than that, the boots fit, very true to size (I usually have to buy an 8 even though I wear a 7 1/2). The ankle support makes them a little uncomfortable right now but I think over time I'll get used to them! I love them!

These boots look great and fit great. I have not had a chance to try them on the bike yet - still snowing here! They do run very true to size, perhaps even a bit on the snug side.

I love them! But do by a size up.
