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:
Unzip the boot zipper located on the inside of each calf by pulling down on the zipper pull. Release the leather adjustment straps from the buckles,
on the outside of the boots, by pulling the leather straps away from the calf and off of the buckle posts and then sliding the adjustment straps
towards the toe of the boots and out from under the buckle flanges. 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. Close the zipper by pulling up on the zipper pull until the pull reaches the top of the boot. Be sure to confirm that no pant or
sock material is caught in the zipper. Reengage the adjustment straps in the boot buckles, by inserting the adjustment straps into the buckles while
pulling the adjustment straps rearward, making sure the adjustment straps are completely underneath the upper and lower buckle flanges. Then press
each strap onto its buckle post, confirming that the buckle post is inserted completely through a hole in the adjustment strap. Check to confirm that
wearing these boots does not reduce your ability to operate the motorcycle controls. Fit may be adjusted by following the adjustment strap release
and reengagement procedure detailed above, while choosing different adjustment strap holes.

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 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 zippers, 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:
In the event of impact, the key elements of the protective footwear may become compromised and the protective footwear may no longer provide the
limited protection described above. The damage may not be visible to the naked eye. In all cases of impact, replace the boots. Replacement El Bajo
Boots can be purchased at Icon
retail locations.

5 Year Rule:
In general, all PPE should be replaced at least every five 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.
