Reboot for the Weekend in Utilitarian Lace-Ups

After a week of wearing uncomfortable oxfords or painful pumps, kick back in a shoe that works hard for you—instead of the other way around. A pair of lace-up boots are just the way to give your feet the support they need after the hard work week.

Proper arch and ankle support probably isn’t making style senses tingle. But these lace-up boots are just the casual answer for rebooting both your feet and your style this weekend.

Guys

When your schedule could take you from a backyard BBQ to a bar, the right off-duty outfit needs to strike the perfect balance between rugged and refined.

Jack of all Trades

A pair of lace-up brown boots worn with a T-shirt and jeans is the perfect any-occasion outfit. This plain base is a chameleon, able to change to blend in with it’s surroundings, just by adding the right top layer. Headed to brunch? Throw on a shawl neck sweater. Going to a family get together? Slip into a blazer.

Laid Back Jack

A breathable chino shouldn’t just be saved for summer office attire—wear them in lieu of jeans to mix up your weekend wear. Make them less business and more casual when you roll up the ankle to just above your boot. Finish off your outfit with a chunky knit sweater in cold weather and a linen button-down when you need something a little lighter.

Girls

The weekend should be all about easy outfits. Let your lace-up boots be the base to building your effortlessly cool looks.

Lumberjane

A little bit hipster, a little bit grunge, the lumberjane is the answer to the grown-up tomboy. For a weekend of hanging out with the guys, layer a leather jacket, a flannel and a tee for a laid back look. Then rev things up with a pair black skinny jeans tucked into your black combat boots.

G.I. Jane

Taking utilitarian from sensible to chic is all about creating the right silhouette. The ultimate one-and-done outfit starts with a military green shirt dress. Then slip on a pair of gray wooly socks that will ease the transition from feminine frock to boyish brown boots.

Let your feet relax this weekend when you lace into boots that support your feet as well as your style.

Give your uncomfortable shoes the boot and lace into these weekend warriors.
