BearPaw is a good shearling & suede bootie for the price. I have been buying BearPaw for about 5 years now and this last year the suede and the shearling seems to have become stiff and the shearling not as soft and silky as it once was. The soles of the booties are very stiff and seem to give me foot cramps if I wear them all day long. It's a good boot for the price though. I have purchased competitors boots at quite a higher price and although the competitions boots have softer shearling they are way too costly to own any more than one pair. I have at least 5 pair of the BearPaw boots. Good boot for the price. FYI size up a half size!!!
