BEARPAW Women's Knit Tall Boot

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Great boots. Buy these, not the Ugg sweater cardy's



For comparison: I own 2 pairs of UGG boots, the Costco copycats, and now these. The quality of these meets and/or exceeds that of the original UGG boots. As the reviewer above stated, the soles are solid. There is not a lot of structure to this boot style- there is the sole and the back ankle suede to give it some shape, but other than that- it is very much like a sock attached to a sole. I think this boot is great for around the house and casual wear.



Sizing: They definitely run small. I am a 6.5/7 shoe and the size 7 has my toe rubbing tip of the boot. If Amazon allowed for reinstatement of promo offers, I would have sized up. Since they do not, I will hope that the fur lining settles down like other shearling boots. I have skinny calves and often have a hard time finding boots with a calf circumference small enough- while these are still loose, they stay up enough to achieve the slouchy look.



Comfort: soft footbed. Has as much padding as standard UGG boots (that is to say- not much beyond the fur). No arch support. Initially the suede ankle cup on one of them curved in and cut into my ankle, but after taming the sharp edge with a nail-file it has stopped doing that. For keeping warm- probably not in the wind, there is not much in the way of lining- I do not consider this to be an all-weather boot by any means.



*update* 1 month later. Boots have stretched and now feel loose. After 2 days of wear, 1 set of buttons at the top fell off. Still comfortable, but long lasting quality on this style is definitely questionable. I have dropped the rating from 4 stars to 2. It is unacceptable that the knit of the boot stretches so much that it flops around and does not fit anymore.
