Grip Chelsea Lo IV

The lug sole gives such good traction on wet pavement, way better than my old smooth-bottomed chelseas. And the platform lift adds just enough height without making them feel clunky to walk in.

The raw-cut nappa leather feels way softer than I expected and broke in after just two wears. That lug sole has real bite too, I wore them through a rainy commute and stayed totally dry.

The platform lift gives me just the right amount of height without feeling clunky, and the chunky lug sole has great traction on wet pavement.
