Perfect for those daily runs when the roads are icy or hard-packed with snow and ice. The Yaktrax Walkers, made of elastic polymer to fit over the bottom of just about any shoe, use coiled steal to ensure you do not slip. Not too expensive, easy to store, and lightweight, they can be a life saver if you have to venture outside much in less than ideal conditions.

The Keen Alyeska may be the perfect indoor, outdoor, slip-ons for the cold days ahead. A non-bulky fleece lining inside the full-grain leather uppers warms cold toes, while the natural rubber outsole isn’t shy of venturing outside even in wet conditions. Best of all, you never have to bend over to put them on and they provide much better foot support than flimsy house slippers.

The FiveTen Mccasym climbing shoe took over 50 prototypes to design (more than any other shoe in FiveTen history). Lacking any shoelaces or Velcro the designers had to create a shoe that balanced tightness, comfort, and performance. They have achieved those goals and surpassed even their own expectations, as one wearer put it, “Possibly the best all-around shoe ever designed. This shoe does everything. Trad, sport, bouldering, multi-days on routes, everything!”
