I'd rather have good equipment. I got A* boots because as far as I could find out they were the only one with the extra brace for the ankles and a mechanic that I worked with said he had a pair on when he crashed, the bike was on his foot/ankle sliding down the road. he got up and didn't even have a limp. after my last crash and still limping 1+ years later, I got the first pair off ebay I could afford. well worth the money as far as I'm concerned.

don't get me wrong, there are some Icon items I really like. my TiMax gloves are one but with the one glove making two of my fingers numb they are not my favorite gloves to wear.

I really like the looks of the Icon Field Armor boots but they are thick and heavy.

True about the boots,both parts actually. I have Icon FA boots and they are comfortable and I've crash tested them twice without any injuries (to the foot anyway). I do however love my A* SMX Plus boots,oh baby like butter,they are! I have black perforated and white regular.
