John Doe Rambler XTM EN 13634 Leather Motorcycle Boots Cognac
The John Doe Rambler XTM is a classic leather motorcycle boot built for riding comfort, everyday wear and discreet protection. This Cognac colourway combines 1.1 mm vintage cowhide with an XTM-Fiber® membrane and reinforced protection at the ankle, heel and forefoot.
Who are these motorcycle boots for?
The Rambler XTM is suited to riders who prefer the appearance of a traditional leather lace-up boot rather than a technical racing design. Its protective construction and walking-friendly sole make it a practical choice for commuting, touring and days that include time both on and off the motorcycle.

Moto Central fitting guidance
Motorcycle boots should feel secure at the heel and ankle without restricting circulation or creating pressure points. Visit the Moto Central showroom for help comparing sizes and checking the fit with your usual riding socks.
