I have to admit that I loved these boots when they arrived, and how they looked with leggings.  They are truly nice boots at a good price.  My problem is that Bearpaws don't fit me well.  They are too short in the toe area, and too large in the heel. This keeps my foot slipping in and out of the boot every time I take a step, and my toes hurt in the process.  I tried placing inserts in the heel, but it didn't correct the problem.  And, I have  purchased four pair of Bearpaw boots to see if this problem would exist in other styles.  It did.  I hated to return these since they looked so cute, were warm on my feet, but I had no choice.  I just wonder where I go from here since I haven't had any luck with Uggs, Emu's, but am wondering about the Born Shilo.  Think I'll give them a try and hope for the best!
