Popsugar Fashion Street Style How to Wear the Lug Sole Boots Fashion Trend This Season Your Guide to Styling Every Type of Lug Sole Boots in the Book 13 December 2021 by Sarah Wasilak Image Source: Getty / Jeremy Moeller As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

Lug sole boots are without a doubt our favourite shoe trend for winter because they're functional, warm, and stylish at the same time. They cap off a feminine look with edge and help us channel '90s grunge in a rugged silhouette. Plus, there's truly a shape — long, tall, or somewhere in between — for every taste. If you're unfamiliar, the lug sole is made of rubber and has grooves at the bottom for added grip, but the indentations also play up the design of the shoe, oftentimes working to accent or contrast the upper. In our opinion, they're the next best thing to sneakers for going out on a walk in cold temperatures, and with some of our favourite brands churning out iconic versions that are recognisable anywhere, they're also total must haves. Ahead, we share some of our favourite ways to wear the look, as referenced by industry creatives we follow, along with iterations from the likes of Prada, Ganni, Dolce Vita, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, and more, so you can shop at every price point and maybe even collect lug sole boots for your wardrobe at a few different heights.
