Icon Boots

Icon motorcycle boots range from tall leather styles to waterproof road boots and ventilated, trainer-influenced designs. The collection includes different heights, fastenings, materials and EN 13634 test results, so no single feature applies to every pair.

Choose around your riding conditions and the coverage you want. Waterproof linings suit wet journeys, mesh constructions favour airflow, and a taller shaft can cover more of the lower leg. Then check fit at the heel, ankle, toes and gear-change area.

Choose by weather and riding use

• Wet-weather road riding: look for a stated waterproof liner and the WR marking in the model's EN 13634 result where applicable.
• Warm urban riding: mesh panels and shorter constructions can improve airflow, but compare the coverage and certification with a taller boot.
• Mixed road and walking use: consider sole grip, stiffness, fastening and weight as well as appearance.
• Taller coverage: full-height styles such as Elsinore 2 cover more of the lower leg, but check whether the shaft works with your trousers.

Understanding EN 13634 markings

EN 13634 is the European standard used for protective footwear for motorcycle riders. The numbers following the standard report tested performance categories, while optional letters can identify additional tests such as WR for water resistance. Use the exact marking on the product rather than a general claim about the whole brand.

For example, Icon lists Stormhawk to EN 13634:2017 with a 1 1 2 1 WR result. Hooligan AF CE has its own 1 1 2 1 SRA result. Other models can have different markings, so compare like for like.

Fastenings, fit and comfort

The BOA system on Stormhawk and Hooligan AF uses a dial, cable and guides for incremental adjustment. Other Icon boots use laces, zips, straps or buckles. Whatever the closure, the heel should remain seated and the foot should not slide inside the boot when operating the controls.

• Try boots with the socks you normally wear on the bike.
• Check toe room without allowing the foot to move forwards under braking.
• Make sure the ankle protection sits in the intended position on both sides.
• Confirm the sole and toe shape work naturally with the gear lever and rear brake.
• Test the closure across its full adjustment range without excessive pressure points.

Care and waterproof performance

Remove surface dirt with products suitable for the upper material and let wet boots dry naturally away from direct heat. Keep fastening parts free of grit and inspect the sole, seams and upper regularly. A waterproof membrane does not make water entry impossible if water passes over the cuff, and damaged seams or worn materials can reduce performance.
