Lug sole boots were once meant for the mountainside and construction sites, but now they’re pounding the pavement harder than ever. These three options have every guy covered. Bally’s dressy, deep red silhouette pairs with tweed trousers or dark denim, Stüssy and Timberland’s reinterpreted classics make your fanciest sweatpants or ripped jeans shine, and Grenson’s heritage-inspired footwear proves the adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies to bench-made shoes (plus, they can easily be snuck under a suit). Time to put away your summer beaters and cop a pair of kicks that kick ass.
