Sole Survivors: Lace-Up Boots With Standout Soles

We’ve all seen them. Boot bottoms that channel boring like nobody’s business. Stop settling for soles that lack sparkle and turn to a lace-up boot that’s all about detail. From spotted and colored to the ultra thick, check out these better-than-bland soles.

Colored

Keep your ensemble bright and colorful from the tip of your head to the bottom of your toes–literally. Look for lace-up boots with a colored sole for an unexpected twist. Skip black and opt for a solid coated sole in a popping hue. If big and bold isn’t your style, try a boot piped in a cool blue or roaring red for an understated option.
Wear it with: Colored slacks and a checkered button up for a cool corporate look.

Thick

Step with confidence with a thickly padded sole. Look for functional boots like hikers and rain boots for footwear that sports the chunky sole. Don’t let its looks fool you. The extra inches are optimal in wet weather and rocky terrain.
Wear it with: Cropped denim and a classic trench for a chic take on the utilitarian style.

Patterned

Feeling eclectic? Get a lace-up with a patterned sole for a boot that’s far from dull. The printed bottom brings texture and style to a shoe built for wild walks. Play it safe with a monochromatic scheme or go full out color-blocking.
Wear it with: Dark bootcut jeans and a graphic hoodie for an ensemble that’s both edgy and casual.

Who says boots have to be basic? Let your lace-ups get in on the fun and find a pair with an unorthodox sole.
