Trouble with Doc Martens or any kind of steel-toe boots is that the toe box is too high from top to bottom........making it very hard to shift unless you've got a cruiser

I had a pair of steel toe Docs. I hated them.

They are thick in that regard but I don't have any problem shifting in mine. |

Yep, they suck. You have to dip your foot way down in order to get it under the shifter.......Plus the steel toe prevents you from feeling the shifter. And the thick sole prevents you from feeling the peg with the ball of your foot.

I never rode in the steel toe Docs but I do ride in regular Doc Martens sometimes. No issues with those.
