🧪 The Science Behind Clan Shoes: Made for Indian Riders, Not Just Roads

We didn’t set out to make another riding shoe. We built something that Indian riders actually need protection + style + everyday wearability. Sounds simple, but no one else was doing it.

At Clan, we asked ourselves one question:

“Why does protective gear have to feel like punishment?”

Spoiler: it doesn’t.

⚙️ D3O Protection – The Game Changer

If you haven’t heard of D3O, here’s the short version:
It’s impact-absorbing armor used in high-end global gear—from MotoGP suits to military-grade protection.

We integrated it directly into the ankle zones of our Scout model, making it the first Indian riding shoe with D3O.

What it means for you:

• Flexes while you move
• Stiffens instantly on impact
• Protects you without weighing you down

🧠 ReinforceX Layer – Lightweight, Heavy Protection

Hidden behind the vegan leather upper is our ReinforceX layer—a synthetic, abrasion-resistant shield that’s stronger than it looks.

It adds serious durability without the bulk or stiffness of traditional riding boots.
In short: It holds up when things go wrong—but feels right all day long.

💧 DryTech Waterproofing – Because Rain Doesn’t Ask First

Ever had to ride through light rain in regular sneakers? Miserable.

That’s why both Scout and Stealth come with a built-in DryTech waterproof membrane. It keeps your feet dry without turning the shoe into a sweaty oven.

Perfect for city rides, surprise monsoons, or puddle-strewn roads you didn’t see coming.

👟 Comfort That Lasts. Style That Blends In.

We get it—you’re not just riding. You’re heading to college, meeting friends, running errands, or chilling at a café.

So we made sure our shoes:

• Look like sneakers
• Walk like sneakers
• Still protect like riding gear

🔸 Scout (₹4,999) – Street-smart protection with D3O

🔸 Stealth (₹5,499) – Clean, water-resistant, CE-certified daily wear

✅ CE Certification (In Progress)

All Clan shoes are built to meet CE EN 13634 safety benchmarks—the gold standard for motorcycle footwear in Europe.

We’re not there to slap a sticker. We’re building shoes that actually deserve the badge.

🛑 The "Why Not Sports Shoes?" Argument

Let’s be real—your running shoes weren’t built to take impact, abrasion, or rain.
And those chunky boots? Not made for walking into class or a meeting.

Clan sits right in between:
Protective. Lightweight. Daily wearable.
Not just road-tested—life-tested.

🏁 Final Word: Let Your Shoes Do More Than Just Look Good

Protection shouldn’t look like a compromise. With Clan, you get tech that’s smart, style that travels, and comfort that lasts from first ride to last stop.

Next time someone asks why you don’t wear boots or why riding shoes matter just let them try a pair. One ride. That’s all it takes.
