I was excited when I saw the title of these boots; I have a pair of Bearpaws that I wear constantly in the winter inside, and I love the shearling lining.  Unfortunately, the only shearling on these boots is the fur you see on the outside collar. Otherwise, these boots are well designed, well made, roomy, and easy to put on. The soles are excellent for trekking in the snow. I live in the mountains and on occasion, we get some deep snow. So I will be trying them out in the winter of 2012 and reporting back on how they do.
