An exciting new chapter of Oprah's beloved book club is upon us! The multi-hyphenate recently announced that her book club pick will now be paired with a companion podcast while she chats with the author over a cup of Starbucks coffee that's been carefully selected to match the essence of the book at the center of the conversation. Exciting to say the least, especially since it also presents an opportunity for Winfrey to show off her spectacular style. Case in point? She just kicked off the pilot episode sporting some killer boots from one of PureWow editors' favorite brands—and they absolutely stole the show. Behold, the Regina Pro square-toe heeled boots (from $149; $97) from Vivaia.

Winfrey paired the boots with a very on-trend monochrome outfit (lately seen on the likes of Kate MiddletonKatie Holmes and Gabrielle Union) to chat with Claire Keegan, author of December book club pick, Small Things Like These.

While my fellow editors swear by the brand's flats (including SEO Editor Marissa Wu, who sang their praises in this review), this winter-ready style has *all* my attention. If you scroll to the third image in the Instagram carousel, you can see Winfrey in the camel-colored boots. Unfortunately the exact color worn by Winfrey is sold out, but this style of boot comes in a whopping 23 colorways and patterns, with different toe and heel shapes to choose from.

The style has a stretchy, water-repellent knit upper and features a shock-absorbing, pressure-relieving insole, enhanced with double the arch support. Throw in the sizable-but-walkable 2-inch block heel, anti-slip outsole and sleek, versatile look, and you've got a shoe worthy of a woman who's got places to be. No wonder Winfrey herself is a fan.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready to trade in my loafers for these bossy Vivaia boots, stat. What else would I wear to pick up a copy of Oprah's latest book club pick?
