I usually don't buy anything from Icon but I bought a pair of Icon Accelerants and love em'. I have a pair of A* SMX 4's and wear them for longer trips or spirited runs but for casual with some decent protection...these are great !!



Durable leather/nylon upper
100% waterproof
Internal steel shank for support
Internal ankle armor
Shin deflection strap
Aluminum positive lock buckle
Lightweight construction
Anti-slip rubber compound sole

Paul at NewEnough says:


The Accelerant Waterproof boots have the feel of a light weight, yet well built boot. Something like what you’d expect of a paratrooper boot. I was struck by how light the boots feel compared to the way they look. With the thicker wide sole, you’d think they’d be heavy, but not so. Also I liked how stable the boots feel on my feet. The soles taper out slightly from the foot, so the sole is wide. This is a waterproof style so it’s going to work well for anyone that wants to stay dry; commuters will like that. And the boot looks good, so it will work on the street as well as on the bike. The combination of laces and ratchet closure strap allows you to get a nice customizable fit. The closure strap also helps to keep your laces out of the way so you don’t get them caught on anything. The heel and toe box areas are reinforced to provide some protection and to help the shoe retain its shape when shifting. These boots also come with a removable shoe insert that adds to their comfort and can be replaced with a new insert (or the insert of your choice) when needed to help keep your boots fresh.

Post up a review when you get them. I've been shopping for a good pair of non-leather riding pants for a while and as of yet have not found anything decent that actually fits and doesn't approach my armpits.

I think the Sidi Sport Tepor boots are now just called Sport Rain boots. Here they are on NewEnough:

I do like the looks of the shorter boots, but I was leaning toward something with better shin protection.
