The Icon 1000 Retrograde boots stand out from the pack. As their name suggests these boots take a lot of design cues from old-school motocross footwear, but are specced to the brim with modern technology and safety applications. There's D3O malleolus protection, a preformed cupsole and a sturdy axialmetric steel shank in the sole. There's two ways of accessing this mid-length boot: by the micro-velcro flap and stamped buckle on the front or (our favourite) by the sturdy full length zipper on the rear. You won't want to run a marathon in these beefy boots, but who would want to run when there's bikes to be ridden?

Please note:  We find the Retrograde boot sizes smaller than the manufacturer's guide and strongly suggest you take the larger size if you are on the cusp of two sizes.
