I am very satisfied with these boots. They are robust, of remarkable quality and really beautiful. my expectations were met and even exceeded. I recommend John Does Shoes to anyone looking to get high quality boots at a decent price.

I purchased the motorcycle boots in the light Derby leather with a commando style sole. Although I do ride a motorcycle, I purchased these mostly for general use. These boots look great, are comfortable, have great quality, are not too bulky, and have a unique style that can't be found outside of John Doe. For some context, I own two other pair of high end boots that cost 2x more, yet these are currently my favorite.

Some boots take a while to settle in but these are so cool straight out of the box and comfy as. The horse chromexcel is lush and fat. The inner and mid soles built into the motorbike boots with an English commando sole are wear all-day at work and go to the pub in them afterwards-level comfortable. The boot is at least half an inch taller than the 420s I have, which is great and a thick tongue which I also like. These are going to look ace when banged up a bit. The navy is nice and bright and the character of the leather is really good on my pair without loose grain. Supposedly there is a steel shank but there is no comprise on walking comfort that I anticipated. Really just quality and rare boots. No faults worth noting. As an aside, I really like the bright contrasting welting on these but I've used mink oil to dull the welt down on another pair of brown JDS boots which gave them a more worn look that I preferred.

Trying to find great riding boots isn't easy. These are fantastic, well crafted, great materials, and a terrific design. I don't think you can buy a better pair no matter how much you spend.
