When you are heading indoors, just flip it over to hide the steel studs.
The whole mechanism is set flush into a groove on the sole, so it should be as comfortable to walk in as a standard boot. Plus, they are made from waterproofed leather for added protection. The boots aren't cheap at $200, but it's better than breaking your ass in the driveway.
