Icon One Thousand Elsinore Boots The Icon 1000 Elsinore's five-strap, alloy-buckle chassis, stamped metal heel plate, and internal steel shank combine for a serious dose of moto-x homage. The traditional Goodyear welt construction mates the Icon street-specific sole to the magnificent leather upper. A medial entry zipper, allocated from Paratrooper jump boots, is the only luxury the Elsinore will allow itself. A modern relic from an era when men were iron and tanks were steel. The Elsinore, old-school MX reinterpreted for the urban sprawl.

Though they need time to break-in to use easily while riding, these sturdy, good looking boots fit comfortably and feel like they'll hold up for a long time. I like the medical entry zipper and the belts adjust fairly easily. I'd recommend wearing heavier socks with these, so take that into account for sizing. I appreciated the extra screws included heel plate and the shifter panels, nice touch.
