Love, Love these boots, the only think I noticed that is different than the last pair of bearpaw boots I bought is that the "cushion" on the footbed is not nearly as dense or thick.  Do love the style and I like the fact I can get a quality boot at a fraction of the cost of the other name brand shearling boot.  They are essentially the same except as mentioned above it seems they may have skimped on the footbed loft.  I do have shearling insole that I will eventually put in and this will make all the difference in the world, they did on the last pair of "old" boots I own.  Would def. recommend these!!
