Why do some really nice/expensive men's shoes have soles

the sole itself is 100 bucks, you won't find a deal
also, ask stupid questions in fuccboi general

SO THAT YOU CAN SLIP ON VIRTUALLY ANY SURFACE.

This is what I'm getting at. It kind of ruins the look for the sake of not slipping, yet I'm pretty sure you'll still fall on your ass walking in bad weather

Going to give you the serious answer - danite soles and toppy soles / half soles are much more durable than leather soles. If you're walking on any other surface than wood/carpet, leather soles will be ruined in a fraction of the time that these alternative soles will last.

more durable and a hell of a lot more comfortable than leather. looks fucking awful though, especially compared to a really nice pinched waist leather sole, eg pic related

I don't have that brand but my boots come with souls similar in design

Dude for christ sake, get a twitter or something.

Utility.
Also past a certain pricepoint it's often assumed you'll just take them to a cobbler if you don't like the sole it comes with.

Leather soles are just too slippery.

>non-oakbark tanned leather sole aka 95% of leather soles out there today = 6 months hard wear before resole, 12 ordinary with good rotation
>dainite = 6 years before resole, 3 years replace just the heels

that's why
