The Leather Lug Sole - Black
Lug meets luxe in our updated take on the classic leather Chelsea boot with a mid-high shaft, an elasticated side with contrast topstitching and a lightweight rubberised tread sole.
Equal parts stylish and functional, this ankle boot is a versatile addition to your footwear collection for their stylish and sturdy sensibility. They’ve been crafted from smooth Italian leather to a slim silhouette, feature elasticated side panels and have been designed with all weather days in mind. With better grip than average boots, the lightweight rubberized tread sole keeps your feet nice and dry, but also provide a bit of protection against slipping and sliding. Invest in a pair and they’re sure to become one of the most-worn pieces in your capsule wardrobe.

Wow Wow Wow! These boots are so comfortable. I wasn’t sure what size to get having read previous reviews, however after speaking to Marre I went with my usual size. I have put an insole in and they fit perfect.

Marre arranged for a pair to be made just for me because my size was sold out! Amazing customer service. The boots fitted perfectly, are comfortable, and well made. Well made and looks great. Highly recommend them. Support a small business. Support a female entrepreneur. I will be buying more goods from Essen.

I absolutely LOVE these boots and cannot recommend them highly enough. I have wider feet and have always had a hard time finding boots that are comfortable and stylish. Well, the search is over!
These boots have faithfully taken me through the cold Canadian prairie winter (no small feat!), a slushy and muddy spring, and even the occasional cool summer day. Of course they'll be a staple in my fall wardrobe too. I appreciate that these boots have good grip; this is often hard to find but it's a necessity for where I live. But despite the chunky look and big heel, they are so lightweight and comfortable . I hope ESSEN makes more boots like this that are a bit wider in the toe box—they are perfect for my feet.
Also—Marre's lovely and thoughtful customer service keeps me coming back. Thank you!!

Love the lug sole boots. They’re exactly what I’ve been searching for - an every day boot to wear walking around all day. They’re chunky but have a slim leg / ankle opening so don’t look frumpy. Size runs large but 40 works well for me even though I am usually a 40.5/41.
