Sole Sisters: The Many Soles of Your Flat Boots

They may be heelless, but that doesn’t mean your flat boots don’t have sole. As fashionable as they are practical, flat boots boast a benefit that elevated boots often do not: comfort. Their low nature keeps you steady and grounded, regardless of their silhouette or style. What differentiates one flat boot from another, aside from aesthetics, is the sole of the shoes themselves. They’re not all made of the same material, nor do they all provide the same security.

Find your sole sister with our breakdown on what the bottom of your flat boot can do for you.

Leather

The most durable and sophisticated of all soles, the leather bottom base has its ups and down. A flat leather boot that carries the material into its sole looks especially polished and put together. It’s also unlikely you’ll track in a lot of dirt with a leather soled boot, as it’s more difficult for grime to stick to them. The downside of this however, is that leather soles don’t have the best grip. If it’s raining or snowing outside, leave these leather bottom booties behind. Also, if you have trouble breaking-in shoes, a leather sole will be your ultimate enemy as they don’t bend very easily.

Wood

Seen most commonly on a slightly stacked flat boot, a wooden sole adds a rustic edge to boots. Just like all the other materials, it has its own positives and negatives that will determine your affection. For one, wood is lightweight so you won’t feel weighed down by every step you take. The material also breaks up the look of a boot, adding new texture to a suede or leather pair. The only true negative comes in durability. Wood stains easily, so beware of puddles and dirty streets.

Rubber

Your average flat boot, from hiking to riding, thigh-highs to Chelseas, will find their roots in rubber—and for good reason. Pliable and durable, a rubber soled flat boot will best cater to the contours of your feet and ease the shock between your foot and the ground as you take a step. The material also tends to have more cuts and crevices that allow for better traction, so you can depend on a rubber-based boot when the weather could lead to slips and falls.

Pick a flat boot for its inherent comfortable and stylish qualities. But when you do, make sure to find your perfect match with just the right sole.
