lug sole

Deep boot grooves

A lug sole is a thick rubber outsole with deep, chunky treads, designed for traction on rough or slippery terrain.

Originally found on hiking boots and work boots, lug soles have become a fashion element on everyday footwear: chunky lug-sole loafers, combat boots with aggressive lug soles.

The deep grooves provide grip but can track mud indoors.
