Grip Combat Mid

These have become my go-to going-out boot. The platform lift gives me a solid two inches without the usual break-in pain, and the tumbled leather has that worn-in look right out of the box. Wore them for a six-hour night out and barely noticed them on.

Wasn't sure about the chunky log sole at first but it actually feels stable walking around all day. The tumbled leather mix has that broken-in look right out of the box, no break-in blisters. Wore them to a show and got compliments before I even sat down.

The platform lift on these booties gives me just the right amount of height without feeling awkward. The tumbled leather upper already looks broken-in and comfortable. Exactly what I wanted for a sturdy everyday boot.
