Morphology
Given the constituents, a learner who knows 'jodhpur' (a type of riding boot with side buckles) and 'shoe' (foot covering) can directly infer that a 'jodhpur shoe' is a shoe/boot of that jodhpur type.

Etymology
The term jodhpur shoe comes from the city of Jodhpur in India, where riders wore short trousers called jodhpurs with low leather boots that had an ankle strap and buckle. Because these boots were made for 'riding', jodhpur shoe today means a short leather riding boot that fastens with a side strap and buckle.
