Why We Love This Deal
The best men’s boots for fall don’t just look nice—they should also be rugged enough to handle the unpredictable weather that comes with the season. Far too often, lifestyle boots fall short of that benchmark, but Allen Edmonds has higher expectations for its products. While its shoes command (and deserve) a premium price, you can currently grab a pair of its city-ready lug sole hikers from Nordstrom Rack for nearly $300 off.
Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill Hiker Boots are just $200 in several colors, which is 59% off the normal price of $495. These handsome leather hikers are well-suited for rough-and-tumble commutes, and they’re getting high marks from Rack shoppers—73% of their ratings are a perfect five stars.

These beautiful leather boots have a practical 360-degree storm welt that provides superior water resistance and durability. Then, it’s paired with thicker lug soles to offer more traction when the beaten path gets a little slick, making it feel more steady without feeling overly clunky.
It’s true to size with a slightly wide toe box and secure heel feel. You may need thicker socks and a break-in period at first, but as they break in, they’ll grow more accustomed to the shape of your foot.
Style-wise, they have very sharp, clean lines that can go well with jeans or even be dressed up with something a little bit more smart casual. Better yet, the premium leather will age with character, developing a one-of-a-kind, rich patina.
This is the lowest price we were able to find online for these Allen Edmonds boots. They are still $375 on the brand’s website, and Zappos is selling a waterproof version for $550.

What Shoppers Are Saying
With a handful of reviews from Nordstrom Rack shoppers, it’s easy to see that these boots are more than just eye candy. “The Danite sole is great for the pavement and workwear, while the lug sole is great for hikes and walks,” noted one. We wouldn’t specifically recommend them for hiking, but to each their own.
Another loved how “amazingly lightweight” and “perfect for daily wear” they are, with deep treads that don’t constantly get gravel stuck in between them.
Allen Edmonds’ Higgins Mill Hikers are likely to sell out at this price, as select sizes are already in short supply. If you want to grab yourself a pair, don’t wait around and buy them now.
