Cold weather means it’s time to break out your favorite pair of trusty boots . Whether they’re over-the-knee , thigh high or ankle height, you’re likely wearing them for two reasons: to keep your feet warm and dry. If you live in a climate where winter not only brings dry, chilly air , but also snow on a regular basis, you know how important it is to have a boot in your closet that can stand up to snow days.
That’s where lug sole boots come in. These boots have a thick rubber sole with deep indentations for maximum traction. Because of their design, this sole works great for work shoes but also makes a great option for walking on snow, ice and, depending on the style, keeping your feet dry and slip-free while walking through the rain.
Now, you might think, “Well that just sounds like a glorified rain boot,” but this shoe design comes in so many prints, colors, textures and heights that you’ll want to wear a pair even on days when it’s not snowing or raining. Tons of brands have hopped on the lug sole boot trend, including Steve Madden , Madewell and Sam Edelman , and many have even created their own version of the high-priced Bottega Veneta Lug boot .
Below, we rounded up some of the most stylish lug sole boots you can order right now at various price points and heel heights.
