The John Doe Shifter boots offer a hip hybrid crossover standing somewhere between an easy wearing sneaker and a sturdy leather boot.
Like all John Doe boots the Shifter is lined with XTM Fiber, JDs house blend of Aramid and Cordura that helps add outsized abrasion resistance to already sturdy leather construction.
The toe box, heel cup, and ankles all get reinforced, and a ribbed leather shift pad helps find additional feel while clicking through gear shifts. Getting into and out of the boot is easy thanks to a YKK zip.
Made in Portugal with an oil-resistant, vibration dampening sole, the Shifter meets CE safety standards for motorcycle wear and is available in or this oiled brown.
