This Boot offering is a variation of the 2016-Original Design and Build from Gabbard, "1940 RS-1 MCB" series "Ribbed Shifter" (On and Off the road less Traveled / Motorcycle Boot) is the most uniquely aggressive and hand-crafted Kustom (made to measure) Workwear Cap Toe boot of its kind, so what could I possibly do to improve upon its total Badass-ness?
 
RUN IT THROUGH THE dIRT!
With a paint job to match  the "NAIL SHANK-2" Oil Ink Dye Treatment.
 
Designed with strips of Harness Leather the HALF-Shifter placement over the Cap Toe  RS "Ribbed Shifter" was built to protect from foot fatigue and guide the rider when shifting through the gears, the "Ribbed Shifter" is a one of a kind design concept from Gabbard of MYG / KREOSOTE .
