Why We Love This Deal
Huckberry just completed a long string of holiday and end-of-year sales, but a handful of standout pieces, like its bestselling 365 chinos and waxed shirt jacket, are still hanging on to their discounts. While both are great and even greater when worn as an outfit, you can pull them together fully with this pair of leather lace-up boots that are still nearly $70 off.
The Rhodes Mini Lug Lace-Up Boots are selling for just $201 right now, a 25% discount off their full price of $268, at Huckberry. These land squarely in that long-forgotten zone where quality, materials, and longevity align to produce the best bang for your buck. This price is good for the tan suede, but it also comes in a chocolate brown for $27 more, and plenty of sizes are still available.

Rhodes is Huckberry’s in-house footwear label, which focuses on heritage-inspired looks, comfort, and realistic wear in mind. This lace-up model builds on the brand’s traditional service-boot formula but swaps to premium leather uppers that require minimal break-in. The leather-lined, cushioned insoles feel closer to a sneaker than a work boot, and they have a noticeably lightweight feel. Handcrafted in León, Mexico—a global hub for quality bootmaking—the construction and finishing are exactly where they should be at this tier.
What makes these boots different from many competitors is their balance. The Vibram 430 Mini Lug outsole delivers real traction on wet pavement and uneven ground without the clunky look you'd see in a hiking boot. Goodyear welt construction means it’s fully resoleable, turning this into a long-term investment. These are best suited for everyday wear, commuting, travel, and light outdoor use, but they’re not meant for hard labor or deep backcountry terrain.
Comparable styles from Thursday Boot Co. often land around the $200 to $220 mark but usually skip premium outsoles and, at times, may feel heavier on foot, while Frye regularly pushes past $300 for similar leather-and-welt construction. At $201, these Rhodes boots use good quality materials, and since they can be resoled, they may end up paying for themselves in the long run.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Though these boots only have a few reviews, all were satisfied with performance, looks, and versatility. One shopper said they have that great classic look, which “goes with pretty much any outfit.”
Another shopper had similar remarks, saying they work well with khakis or jeans. They said they “can be dressed up with a blazer or worn with a tee,” making them a good year-rounder that’s “well-made.”
When discounts hit gear over at Huckberry, it tends to cause it to sell out fast, and these handsome Rhodes boots are no different.
