Our Winter Workout Must Haves For November

I was a little wary of rocking a pair of orthopedic shoes, but Vionic's Upton Ankle Booties ($160) have totally changed the game for me. These sleek and stylish booties have a nice chunky heel, and I've never worn a pair of more comfortable shoes. You literally would not be able to tell that they're equipped with serious technology and orthotic functionality until you slip them on for yourself — I had no idea how cruel I was being to my feet. I walked up and down SF hills for 45 minutes the first time I ever slipped them on without any pain or a pesky break-in period. I have barely taken them off since.
