I have held off buying this type of boot for fear of making my feet hot but I finally gave in.  I knew I would not wear Ugg's enough to justify the price so I looked in to the bear paw line.

Pros:
- Very cute, other than different buttons they look just like the Ugg's
-The shearling is soft and does not smash down as much as I thought it might
-the sweater leg does not really stretch out as much as I thought it would, and a simply fix would just be moving the buttons anyway if that does end up happening

Cons:
-I had to order a size up from normal because I fall around 10.5 and the 10 was too small
-The buttons pretty much all fell off with just a little pulling so I had to sew them all on to tighten them up.

All and all I am happy with my purchase and getting them for a third of the price of Ugg's is nice if you are not all about having the brand name.
