There’s no need to tread lightly this season in your well soled shoes because the currently trending is the lug sole.  From pumps to boots, feminine and rugged come together on the soles of your favorite style of shoes.  Take BCBGMAXAZRIA’s delicate ‘Osture’ cream pumps, which get tough girl chic with rubberized lug soles that will keep you trekking around the city without fear of slipping when the weather turns frigid.

Get a wedge on the competition with the Gianfranco Ferre lug sole wedges, which are comfortable and come in a rich burgundy for fall.  If the sky is the limit, why not try the Alaia Lace-Up patent leather booties with its vertiginous heel and lug soles.  No matter your budget, there is a shoe option out there for you.  Charlotte Russe, Ashe, Gucci, Jenny Kayne, Kenneth Cole and Alexander McQueen all have some gorgeous options.
