Clan Story
Making safety everyday wearable.
Clan Shoes is a Made in India riding footwear brand built for riders who need protection, comfort, and everyday usability in one pair.
Designed for Indian roads, traffic, weather, and daily life, Clan Shoes bridges the gap between bulky riding boots and unsafe sneakers.
Born from a gap riders felt every day.
The idea for Clan Shoes started during a ride in 2019. The founding team noticed that riders had to pick between protective riding boots that felt bulky and everyday sneakers that offered little protection.
Clan Shoes was registered in 2021, followed by multiple prototypes, material improvements, and product refinements before the first launch in December 2022.
Most riding footwear was not built for daily Indian use.
Indian riders need shoes that can handle traffic, weather, office commutes, city riding, and weekend rides without needing a second pair.
- Problem Bulky boots are impractical
- Problem Sneakers lack riding protection
- Solution Protective shoes for on and off the bike
Clan Shoes vs boots vs sneakers.
Clan Shoes was created for riders who need a practical middle ground: more protective than sneakers, lighter than bulky riding boots, and more comfortable for daily use than traditional riding gear.
| Factor | Regular Sneakers | Bulky Riding Boots | Clan Riding Shoes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protection | Low protection for motorcycle use. | High protection but often overbuilt for daily city use. | Riding-focused protection with ankle, toe, heel, CE and D3O features depending on model. |
| Comfort | Comfortable, but not built for riding safety. | Can feel stiff, heavy, and bulky for everyday wear. | Designed for daily riding, commuting, and all-day usability. |
| Weight | Lightweight but unsafe for riding impact zones. | Usually heavier and less practical for urban movement. | Lighter than bulky boots while still offering better protection than sneakers. |
| Daily Use | Easy to wear daily, but not protective enough. | Not ideal for office, college, cafes, or walking after rides. | Sneaker-like styling that works on and off the bike. |
| Weather Utility | Usually limited in rain and wet roads. | Depends on the boot type. | Waterproof construction available in key models. |
| Best For | Casual walking, not serious riding. | Touring or high-intensity riding. | Urban riding, daily commuting, weekend rides, and practical everyday protection. |
How Clan Shoes evolved.
Clan Shoes has grown through rider feedback, product testing, and continuous design improvements focused on Indian riding conditions.
Built by riders who understood the problem firsthand.
Clan Shoes was founded by riders with 15+ years of experience across different gear, motorcycles, terrains, and riding conditions.
The founding team includes Sandeep Reddy as CEO and Founder, Dilip Reddy as CMO, Arjun Singh as COO, and Kushang Moorthy as CTO.
Together, they built the brand around Indian riding conditions, daily commute needs, product practicality, and the belief that safety should not come at the cost of comfort.
