What Is Commando Style?

Commando style refers to any shoe or boot made on a lug rubber "commando" sole. This results in a rugged, aggressive aesthetic, as well as a resilient and hardy feel.

More commonly found on boots, complementing their inherently tough design, low shoes such as oxford and even loafers can be made in this commando style -- giving a modern, urban feeling to even the most classic shoe.

How Do You Wear Commando Style?

Because any shoe or boot can be made in commando style, there is no one way to wear it. Boots with lug commando soles can be worn just as boots with any other sole, as boots themselves are already casual and tough.

Low shoes are more casual when made in commando style, making these oxfords, loafers, and monkstraps easier to wear with denim and chinos, but less appropriate to wear formally -- when compared with their "standard" soled counterparts.
