Lug Soles, The Ultimate Winter Trend

Truth be told, it has taken me quite some time to get on board with lug sole shoes. I ordered a few for the store last year, but didn’t buy any for myself. Then, when I went to the February Market last year, I noticed that everyone was wearing them.

After seeing lug sole shoes styled in so many ways, I finally understood the hype – they were really cute! Beyond being cute, they are definitely the most practical winter shoe choice. The added thickness of the sole makes them comfortable and protects you from the winter elements! They also help if you want to add a little bit of height, which is never a bad thing.

I first dipped my foot in the lug sole pool with some tan loafers from AGL that go with everything. Next up, I tried Aquatalia lug soles in black combat style. I’m so ready for some cooler weather so I can wear them with tights and skirts. I’m already envisioning that my pleated Tibi skirt, a big chunky sweater, and a pair of lug sole boots will be my “vibe” (as my daughter says) for the winter.

We have so many options for you to try in store! I have my eye on the Ann Mashburn navy loafers now- such a classic dark navy. If you are still adjusting to the look of a heavier sole – these are a great pair to lean into your new “vibe.”

We also have options at every price point from JW Anderson to Sam Edelman. Stop in and see our selection, we have so many great styles for you!

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
