Waterproof construction keeps feet dry without compromising the clean, street-ready silhouette. Mid-top cut sits just above the ankle - high enough to offer support, low enough to wear with cropped trousers or rolled jeans without any fuss. Five-eyelet lace-up fastening with tonal laces gives a precise, adjustable fit across the forefoot. Smooth upper with subtle panelling detail at the toe box and heel - structured but not stiff in appearance. Contrasting chunky rubber sole adds grip underfoot and gives the shoe a slightly skate-inspired profile from the side. Skechers branded metal badge on the lateral side - a discreet detail that sits flush rather than standing out. The Palmiro sits somewhere between a chukka boot and a casual trainer in terms of its shape - it has the ankle coverage and lace-up formality of the former with the flat, chunky sole of the latter. That crossover is exactly what makes it work across so many situations. The waterproofing is a practical win for British weather, meaning these hold up on a wet commute or a damp weekend walk without looking like outdoor footwear. Wear them with dark slim-fit jeans and a heavyweight crew-neck sweatshirt for a Saturday in the city, or pair with chinos and a shirt when you want something smarter than a trainer but more relaxed than a dress shoe. The mid-top profile means they look best when there's a bit of ankle on show - roll your jeans once to let the silhouette of the shoe read clearly. | Skechers Men's Palmiro Waterproof Lace Up Shoes Black | Size: 9
