Martin All-Weather Laars Zwart

The lug sole grips surprisingly well on slick train platform tiles, so I've stopped worrying about those damp morning commutes. They've got that rugged look but still pass for a decent dinner out, and the black finish hides scuffs from everyday wear.

Wore these through a rainy week of city commutes and the lug sole kept me steady on slick subway grates every single time. The rugged look dresses up surprisingly well for evening plans, so they've basically become my one-pair-does-all boots.

The lug sole has held up perfectly on slick pavement, and the rugged look pairs well with both jeans and chinos. I've worn them nearly every day since they arrived, and they still feel as solid as the first time I put them on.
