Default ICON FIELD ARMOR CHUKKA

This is my Review on the Icon Field Armor Chukka.

They fit great comfort still needs alot of work...it fits perfectly on my left foot but on my right it digs into my ankle so much that it made it sore and now i am limping... if i didnt rub against my ankle so badly I would say you can use this boot for causal wear or even walking.

When you first take it out of the box the snap buckle is engage and its such a pain in the ass to unbuckle it you have to use brute strength to undo the buckle once thats off you just have to snap it on and off a few times and wear it in.. other wise it works great.......

When you ride you dont feel the air go throug your feet and shifting almost feelings like your toes are numb...you go by engine sound to know that you shifted....

Now for the good points... Great Material...nice packing...better then jordan sneakers... Extremly stiff but takes some walking miles to wear it in...they put alot of layers of sole rubber right under it... when shifting the space between the peg and shifter seems very small ..so you have to bend your ankle lower then normal then with sneakers due to its bulkyness.

Style is Perfect you can wear almost anything in still look good with these boots on even with the buckle showing its nuts....

I give this Product 3 out of 5

only because my ankle is killing me=(

I wear high ankle work boots and I know what you mean about the small gap and less feel. I think it's just something you get used to (I had a long while ago). Not great for the track, but the alternative aren't good for the street. I feel naked with sneakers on while riding.
