Not as good as Ugg Australia and be careful with the size!

When I bought a pair of these boots I ended up with the wrong size because they come out A LOT smaller than an Ugg Australia Classic or Ultra boot. I would advise anybody considering these boots to BUY TRUE TO SIZE NOT DOWN ONE SIZE.



As for the quality of these boots this is my edited review after wearing them for a bit and I have to say maybe it's partially my leg and foot shape but they don't fit half as snugly and comfortably as Ugg Australia boots. The larger size was too big for me so I can't actually wear any size of these boots comfortable (US7 too small US8 too big!) they may be more suited to folk with wide feet and sturdy ankles.



I am a complete Ugg Australia convert now have two pairs and looking to buy two more. Much as I hate to jump on a bandwagon Ugg Australia boots are something special and these Bearpaw boots while not badly made feel much stiffer and not like a second skin like Ugg Australia boots - not in the same league I'd advise to pay the extra especially if you are of petite/skinny build.

Great alternative to Uggs

I just bought a pair of these 10" Dream 405 style from shoe pavilion today for $39.99. I think they are so great and comfortable! I tried on the 160 Uggs ultra short earlier in the day which looks almost the same and guess what? BearPaw Dream is even more comfortable than Uggs' ultra short since ultra short feels a little too tight. Uggs' classic short ($120) is still the most comfortable tho but its style which is more rounded and doesn't have a 2nd line around the edges is a little outta date.



These BearPaw Dreams serve as a great alternative to the new Uggs ultra short. Its shaft is a little taller than Uggs as well which I think is smart because then it looks better with pants tugged in.



Caution: if you wear 1/2 sizes go one size up. Don't expect these comfortable shoes to have bigger rooms inside. I used to wear 6 or 6.5.. but I have to return a pair and get a 7.More detail ...

Bearpaw is a stylish Ugg alternative at a great price!

I love these Bearpaw brand boots. They are very similar to the popular Ugg-style boots at a much better price! Bearpaw's Eva boots are comfortable and warm. They can be worn with or without socks. The sheepskin lining makes them feel like a slipper inside! These boots are actually available in 8" 10" and 12" heights and the top edge can be rolled down to show off the furry lining.More detail ...

Good Product

I rarely write reviews but when I was researching this product (actualy the BearPaw 410 10" Eva Boots identical to these minus the extra two inches) the reviews are what helped me make my decision. I thought I'd give others an extra insight and perspective.



I was actually planning to buy the 10" boots but saw that the 12" boots were the exact same price. So I thought hey.. I'll get more bang for my buck (in this case 2 inches!) and bought the 12" instead.



First I want to comment on the sizing. I followed Amazon's general shoe size chart for women's and even measured one of my shoes that fit me perfectly. My shoe sizes sometimes vary but I busted out a ruler to be exact. I was a size 9 according to the chart. The shoes I was measuring from was also a 9. BearPaw and many reviewers suggested getting one size up from your regular show size so I ordered a size 10. In my case that didn't work well for me.



Overall these boots are great material and quality. I really don't have any bad things to say about them. They're extremely comfy... they feel like house slippers and are way cheaper than Uggs! So the only issue I have with them is more of a personal issue.



You see I've got big calves. They aren't fat... but really solid... full of muscle. Whenever I try to do cardio the only area that seems to get toned is my calves. Such a curse. (BTW I measure at 17" all the way around my mid-calf). Anyhow these boots were very tight at the edge. It was like a really tight rubberband around my calf an I'd normally deal with stuff like that but it was very uncomfortable. On the other hand the shoes were too big for my feet by at least an inch to an inch and a half.



It's kind of awkward to wear but I think I'll deal with these issues. I can always wear thicker socks so it's better slightly too big than slightly too small. I'm actually folding down the extra "2 inches" which makes the boots less uncomfortable but I'm hoping that the material will stretch over time to accomodate my enlarged calf and possible my jeans. It's also too tight to squeeze jeans into.



If the boot fit perfectly I'd totally give it 5 stars. It may be a little unfair to dock it a star since everyone's shoe size and calf size can vary widely but I think the company should offer boots with an extended calf (most other brands do for boots). This way girls with big calves or girls who want to tuck in their jeans (or both!) have the room to do so.More detail ...
