With all the laid-back attitude of the originals, the Converse All Star Rain Boots ($80) are the first we'd actually consider wearing in inclement weather. Staying true to their roots with a simple lace-up design and Chuck Taylor insignias, these rain boots feature a green rubber upper, attached tongue to prevent water from seeping in, corded laces, a reinforced toe, and a durable, grippy sole.
SaveCombining an All-Star-style sole with a weathered, worn suede upper, the Converse by John Varvatos Sprint Grip Chukka Boot ($100) is bound to cause confusion — and draw a few compliments along the way. It features a removable insole, leather trimming and inner lining, a lace-up front, and looks that might best be described as a mash up of frontiersman and punk rock front man.
SaveIf you're on the job or simply looking to add some outdoorsman chic to your wardrobe, take a gander at the Tretorn Klipporone Boot ($145). This high-top boot features nine eye laces, a combination smooth and textured leather upper, textured, grooved rubber sole, two-tone laces, and a reinforced rubber midsole and toe cap. While they might look good at a country cookout or impromptu fishing session, don't expect to roll around midtown without drawing some strange looks.
SaveAdd some simple style to your winter wardrobe with Clarks Originals Wallabee ($130). Based on Lance Clark's original comfort shoe from 1965, the Wallabee is a hand-sewn moccasin featuring a suede upper in one of three shades, plantation sole construction, and a mid-height cut. Their simplicity isn't likely to wear well with dressier attire, but they should go great with plenty of other garb, from jeans to pajamas.
SaveA pair of relatively plain black sneakers are a great staple for any man's wardrobe, the Converse Jack Purcell Race Around ($79) being a fine example. These subdued high-tops feature a leather upper and lining, nubuck side panels with perforation details, a contrasting white ring on the sides of the rubber sole, and a molded footbed for added comfort. Just don't wear them with shorts.
SaveDating back to the 1930's, Warrior Footwear ($45-$60) are neither flashy nor ultra-exclusive, but like Chuck Taylor's, they have a classic, iconic feel despite their ubiquity. Originally conceived as an affordable athletics shoe for the Chinese market, dominating the industry in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, Warriors come in several plain yet endearing styles, including Team Basketball, Street Kung Fu, Lane Badminton, and our favorite, the World Tour Tennis.
SaveBattle even the coldest climates in Columbia Bugathermo Boots ($250). Not satisfied with simple insulation, the Bugathermos offer an electronic heating system that has three heat levels and runs off built-in rechargeable batteries for up to eight hours. Other frostbite-fighting features include an Omni-Tech waterproof-breathable Nubuck upper, an internal lining and footbed cover with AgION antimicrobial treatment, 200g Thinsulate Insulation, Omni-Grip traction, and an injection-molded waterproof thermal rubber shell.
SaveWhy spend money on a fine pair of shoes if you're not going to take care of them? The Paul Smith Shoe Care Kit (£345; about $500) offers everything you need to care for your fine footwear in a great-looking black washed wooden box. Included in the kit are two wood and horse hair polish brushes, two medium and two small wood applicator brushes, one wood, steel, and horse hair brush for suede, two polish cloths, five differently color shoe paints, four canisters of bees wax polish, and, of course, a metal shoe horn.
SaveFeaturing a more rigid silhouette than the average pair of Docs, the Dr. Martens Weston Boot ($130) is a more upscale version of the well-known boot. The Weston features a leather upper with a subtly polished finish, a bright, noticeable yellow welt trim, the classic Martens rubber sole, and McMartens Tartan inner lining.

SaveDesigned in collaboration with Boston-based sneaker specialists Concepts and created to honor the New England city's landmark Freedom Trail, New Balance 875 Freedom Trail Boots ($160; Available in select boutiques November 27) are a brand new style of kicks that are perfect for fall. Featuring brown leather uppers with pigskin leather lining and red accents, the 875s aren't the most attractive NB's ever made, but instead offer a winning combination of stability, comfort, and understated cool.
SaveFrom the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax, aloe vera oil, Vitamin E acetate, and other ingredients, all while offering a subtle bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy.
SaveMost of us don't have the engineering, design, or architectural chops to recreate any of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterworks, but we can anyway, thanks to these new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego Architecture Building Sets ($TBA). Licensed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, these terrific sets — of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater — were developed in collaboration with leading architects to be as accurate as possible, and come with booklets that not only tell you how to build you own model masterpiece, but exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each building, as well. [Thanks, Kris]
SaveEver wish you could combine your dual-monitor setup into one behemoth display? Get ready, because your wish has come true in the NEC CRV43 Curved Widescreen Display ($8,000). Boasting a unique curved design that's sure to immerse you more than a standard two display setup, this beauty also features a 2880x900 double WXGA resolution, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, single link DVI-D and HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 ports, an on screen display, and the assurance that you have the most unique monitor in the neighborhood.

SaveEver wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.
SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated real-world version packs a slightly sweet, slightly tart blood orange flavor and a rich red color that will have guests wondering if you're drinking the real thing.
SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.
SaveTempted by the MINI's go-cart handling, but not a fan of its boxy exterior? The MINI Coupé Concept ($TBA) is for you. Ready to accept any of MINI's powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept back windshield, short contrast roof, hidden B-pillars, and more sexy than every other modern MINI combined.
SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.

Terrorism. Murder. Blood. Bullets. Darkness. This is the G.I. Joe cartoon you've been waiting 25 years for. G.I. Joe: Resolute ($14) is a new animated mini-series featuring classic Joes and Cobra operatives that's sure to make the live action movie look even more like a turd. Aimed at older viewers, and garnering standing ovations at JoeCon Comic-Con, Resolute consists of 11 episodes (ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale) totaling 60 minutes. We won't tell you the plot, but let's just say Cobra Commander goes totally apocalyptic on Moscow. In the first four minutes. Can someone please start a petition to turn this into a regular weekly series? Oh, and don't forget the toys.
SaveWhat good is a portable hard drive if you're afraid to take it anywhere? With the Hitachi SimpleTough Hard Drive ($100-$135), you simply grab your data and go. Featuring a rugged body with grippy rubber sides and a smooth rubber body, the SimpleTough can withstand drops of up to 7 feet and also offers underside lighting and an integrated USB cable, giving you one less thing to remember when packing for your next spy mission.
SaveHaving a big-ass tool set is all well and good, but when you can have the most popular sockets on hand in just one tool, why bother? The Black & Decker Ready Wrench ($30) offers exactly that, with 16 of the most popular sockets — in both standard and metric — on rotating heads on either end of the tool, ready to replace both one- and two-inch deep sockets. With a rubber grip for added comfort, it'll let you save the big tool set for those really tough jobs — like assembling Ikea furniture.
SaveSimplify the process of installing the apps you want on your Windows machine with Ninite. This awesome free service lets you choose from a range of applications, plug-ins, utilities, and other goodies that might normally take hours to download separately, with a "Get Installer" button at the bottom that will do all the heavy lifting for you, creating a simple, one-step app that will install all of the software you chose in one fell swoop. Good for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
SaveWe've seen plenty of not-so-hot iPhone cases that have tried to tack wallets on as an afterthought, but this is the first time we know of it's been done the other way around. The Hard Graft Phone Card Wallet (€79; $120) is a slim, front-pocket style credit card wallet that's built with such strong elastic tape that it can also hold a phone inside for a decidedly less-slim solution. Other features include grey vegetable tan leather construction, seven card slots, and measurements that happen to hold an iPhone perfectly.
SaveIf you're into gadgets, and if you're reading this that's highly likely, then you no doubt have several SD and/or microSD cards laying around — so turn them into USB drives using the LaCie DataShare ($13). The DataShare breaks into two halves — red for SD and white for microSD — that fit together to form one solid, easily-portable storage solution.
SaveInfinity pools have been around for a while, so it only makes sense someone would apply the same idea to another home-sized water feature: the aquarium. ZeroEdge Aquariums ($600 and up) do exactly that, providing overflowing aquatic environments for all types of fish and sea creatures in a variety of styles and shapes, ensuring you can find one that's right for your home or office. Just remember: no edge equals no lid, so be sure to keep the Darla-types away. [Thanks, Brian]
SaveWe're quite used to seeing tons of tools crammed into a pocket knife-sized package, but it's not everyday you see the same thing done to an axe. The Brook & Hunter Mo-Tool Axe ($40) brings the handyman heat with a capable axe blade and hand-crafted red oak wood inlay handle, plus a hammer head, screwdrivers, knives, a can opener, wire cutter, file, pliers, and a wrench.
