PPE Position and Fit:
For PPE to offer the maximum protection possible PPE must be placed on the areas to be protected and PPE must cover the protected areas
effectively. If the protective features are already incorporated into the PPE, then to be positioned correctly, the PPE must be the correct size. In all
cases, the proper equipment has been supplied to keep this PPE firmly in contact with the body.
Footwear:
Protective footwear fit is very important. The fit of different protective footwear styles varies due to differences in design and construction. Only use
protective footwear that fits properly. Any protective footwear that does not fit properly should not be used. Be sure that the protective footwear fits
snugly but not too tightly. Confirm that heel lift is minimal. Check to confirm adequate room in the toe box.
Wearing Instructions and Adjustment:
Repeat for each boot: Release the leather ankle adjustment strap from the buckle, on the outside of the boot, by pulling the leather strap away from
the boot and off of the buckle post and then sliding the adjustment strap towards the inside of the foot and out from under the buckle flanges. Loosen
the laces enough so that it is possible to pull the tongue forward and insert the foot into the boot. Insert foot, pulling the boot on. Slide foot all the
way down in the boot. Confirm boot fit. Boot should feel snug on foot but not too tight. Foot should be the same length as the boot without being too
much shorter or too much longer than the boot. Tighten the laces by pulling on the loose ends until laces are snug and then tie a knot in the loose
ends. Boot fit may be adjusted by tightening or loosening the laces. Always be sure to knot the laces after adjustment. Reengage the adjustment strap
in the boot buckle, by inserting the adjustment strap into the buckle while pulling the adjustment strap rearward, making sure the adjustment strap
is completely underneath the upper and lower buckle flanges. Then press the strap onto its buckle post, confirming that the buckle post is inserted
completely through a hole in the adjustment strap. Fit may be adjusted by following the adjustment strap release and reengagement procedure
detailed above, while choosing different adjustment strap holes. Be sure to confirm that no pants or sock material is caught in the adjustment strap.
Be sure to confirm that the loose ends of the laces are captured under the adjustment strap so that they cannot be caught on foot peg, lever, or other
parts of the motorcycle. Check to confirm that wearing these boots does not reduce your ability to operate the motorcycle controls.
For maximum protection and safety the protective footwear should not cause any discomfort and should not reduce the rider's freedom of movement
or restrict the reach to, or operation of, the motorcycle controls while in a normal riding position. If you are unable to find a proper fit in this protective
footwear style, please try another CE certified protective footwear style.

SAFETY WARNINGS
SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND OBSOLESCENCE
Before Every Use:
Check the sole to confirm that it is good condition and attached securely to the boot. Check the lining to confirm that it is not ripped or torn. Check
uppers and adjustment straps to confirm that the leather is not cut or cracked. Check the laces, buckles, and adjustment straps to confirm that they
are not broken, that they are not filled with debris, and that nothing prevents them from fastening securely. Protective footwear that is improperly
fastened cannot protect the user. If the protective footwear or any parts of them become worn, replace the footwear immediately.
In the Event of an Impact or Accident:
In the event of an impact or accident, the key elements of the protective footwear may become compromised and the protective footwear may no
longer provide the limited protection against the forces described in the "Use Restrictions and Limitations" section above, and the "Performance"
and "Protection Limitations" sections below. The damage may not be visible to the naked eye. In all cases of impact or accident, replace the boots.
Replacement Truant Boots can be purchased at Icon® retail locations.
2 Year Rule:
In general, lightweight PPE such as the Truant Boot should be replaced at least every 2 years even if the PPE has not suffered any damage. Damage
may be present and may not always be identified by a simple visual inspection.
PERFORMANCE
Truant Boots have undergone EC Type Examination to assure compliance with Directive 89/686/EEC. To assure compliance with Directive 89/686/
EEC, they have additionally been examined and tested according to the technical standard EN 13634:2010, with the exception of Section 4.2.1
"Height of upper", they have, instead, been tested according to the "Low boot height requirement protocol" rev 1 of 11-May-2012, which has been
developed by the consent of the Italian notified bodies' and has been proposed as a future amendment to EN 13634:2010.
European standard EN 13634:2010 includes two performance levels in terms of the protection afforded. The degree of risk or hazard that a
motorcyclist will face is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Within standard EN 13634:2010 'Level 1' performance
is deemed as the minimum level required in order for the footwear to provide useful protection in an accident, and offers footwear with an optimum
comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style or sport exposes them to an increased accident risk 'Level 2' has been
provided which offers increased performance – however it is likely that this additional level of protection has an increased penalty for the weight and
comfort, so may not be acceptable to all riders.
