Very cute boots, February 8, 2008
These boots are very cute - I always get compliments on them. A few things to note, the fur lining is not throughout the boot, there's some at the top (of course), none on the calf, but then some for cushioning for your foot. Also, although many people said they run big and you should buy a smaller size, I'd have to disagree. I originally bought them a size smaller and ended up having to return them. I find them true to standard sizes.

Boots for big feet and these actually work I LOVE EM ALREADY!!, November 20, 2009
This review is from: BEARPAW Women's Pasador II Fur Boot (Apparel)
I spent days looking for boots and I finally settled on these with the assumption if they didn't fit I could send back and pay a restock fee and continue to look. I am NOT sending them back =) My problem is I have always had big feet and since my pregnancies I now have wide big feet with constant ingrown toe nails that make finding comfortable shoes almost impossible. I have bought size 11 shoes before but after doing several shoe sizers it seems I am actually a 11.5 possibly even a 12. I searched everywhere for a boot that I could wear for work plus had enough grip and warmth for our Idaho weather. On top of my requirements I am due to have my 3rd child in March and so needed something comfortable and definitely secure, loved the look of heals but knew I would hate them come month 9.
I ordered a pair of these in black as they were the only ones they had in size 11. Looked around on other sites and these were by far the cheapest for my possible size. When they came I tried them on and I will admit they were extremely tight but I figured it was because the sheepskin fur inside goes all the way down the boot. When I first put them on I could not do the top 2.5"s up but I waited about 20 mins and tried again as I could see the material would stretch around my calf (which at the very top of the boot is about 16.5", which is about 1.5" below the thickest part of my lower leg), they did do up, it seems the fur inside just had to flatten a little. The foot area still felt quite tight but loosened off very nicely but was still snug and secure. Several people commented on a sharp/pointy part at the inside ankle which I could feel for about the first 1hr of wearing them but it just disappeared so think it is just the material and I never even got so much as a red mark on my ankle.
I walked around in them, tried pushing my feet forward as normally this is a problem for me but they were very snug. If I pushed directly down on the toe I could feel the end of the shoe but walking and sitting I am about 1/2" away from the end. The toes are surprisingly spacey, especially for someone like me that gets aggravated toes if they get crushed. I have now worn them in the house for the last 4 hrs, have cooked dinner, cleaned up and dealt with a 3 and 2 yr old running back and forth threw the house and have not had any problems. They are super warm and so so so comfy!! The calf has already loosened up enough that I can get 4 fingers in at the top. I will mention I am wearing thing socks, which is what I planned on wearing anyway. They do feel so warm I don't think I would need thick socks anyway.
Another pointer I like is that my feet actually look small, well small for me. Some boots at this size can look like boats if they are thin at the ankle then the long foot but these are tight enough at the ankle to stop them sliding yet look much smaller then my other shoes. They are not at all heavy or bulky but do have a large amount of grip on the bottom, I have not been stopping around like I normally do in boots like this they are very easy to move my feet around and point my toes. They are still quite tight so I do wonder if I swell later in pregnancy they might get too snug but we will have to wait and see, I think by that point they will have relaxed a little more.
the only down side I could potentially see is that the zipper is a little flimsy, I could see it had already started bending but that could have been from pulling too much before the boot had relaxed
Sorry it's a book but this was info I was looking for when I was looking for boots like these.

Nice materials except the sole. Be careful where you step., December 23, 2009
These boots look great! The leather and fur are of excellent quality. I've owned these boots for a year now but have worn them only a handful of times. I recently pulled them out to wear this winter, and while I was out shopping I noticed that the sole was coming unglued from the leather on the side of the left boot.
Upon further inspection, I noticed that the sole was not properly nor evenly glued onto EITHER boot. There were many spots not glued at all that I could slide my finger into. Soooo I went around with a super glue pen and carefully filled in all the spots needing glue. Super glue doesn't last forever though, so I'm really disappointed with this discovery.
Also, the sole is hollow. While this makes the boot feel kind of neat and bouncy, be aware that something like a nail, sharp rock, or glass could definitely pierce the sole. From the picture the sole appears to be quite thick, but it's really just a rather thin outer shell of rubber that is filled with air.
If the sole were properly glued on, and more solid, these would be perfect. They're comfortable, warm, look good, and the leather & fur are great quality. The sole just kind of ruins them. I will not bother buying Bearpaws again because of this. Good quality leather & fur paired with a bad quality sole, just doesn't add up! It's a shame.
