Fall is my favorite season and I absolutely love the wardrobe that comes along with the season. I'm not sure what it is, but something about the thought hoodies, jeans, and cozy boots always brings a smile to my face. And since I'm a lover of boots, I have to share with you one of the new styles available from BEARPAW this year. 

Just seeing this box arrive at my house made me all giddy. I had to pull one out and try it on. And as soon as my other foot heals from it's break, these boots will be worn all over, all the time.

Anyway...back to the review...

BEARPAW takes special care to make sure their boots are packaged well. My boots were snug in their box but they weren't flat at all. Also, BEARPAW uses biodegradable bags to wrap the boots in. I think it's wonderful to see a brand that cares about the comfort of their customers and the environment all at the same time. {Visit their website to learn more about their thoughts on sustainability of product and environment.}

Let's take a look at the new, Marissa boot from BEARPAW {in Chocolate}.

Don't they just look so cozy and inviting? They feel even better on.

I also like the rolled down cuff on these. This is part of the boot and doesn't roll up, but I really like this look and think they'd look darling with some leggings or jeggings. Oooh...or even some thick tights with a cute skirt....

These are extremely comfortable. They feel like a warm hug for my feet. These boots come up about mid-calf in height and are made of suede {uppers} and sheepskin/wool {lining}. And since I've worked with BEARPAW in the past, I know that if I care for these properly, they'll last for years and years.

P.S. When you shop on BEARPAW's website, you'll find the care instructions right on the page of the style you're selecting.

BEARPAW adds a non-slip, rubber sole to their boots but they never forget to include detail even there. The design of leaves and the classic paw are just darling. Just looking at them makes me wish for a light dusting of snow on the ground so I can make some super cute foot prints.

After receiving my boots for review, I went to see the rest of the new items for fall in the BEARPAW Fall 2011 Look Book. I fell in love with two other styles. For myself, I like the Bison

and for my little peanut, I like the Venice boots.

BUY IT: I couldn't find the boots I was sent on the website for sale just yet so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled on the BEARPAW Shoes website for when they go on sale!

Marissa Boots From BEARPAW ~ New For Fall {Review}

 When I think about being in a car for a very long time, I immediately think about what shoes I should wear for the trip. I have to wear something comfortable, naturally, but they also need to be able to be put on and take off easily. This rules out tennis shoes right away. And since a road trip means lots of stops at rest areas, I want to wear something that will cover my feet {you never know what you'll run into}. This rules out flip flops or open-toed shoes.


What does that leave me with? Mmmmhm. Sheepskin boots from BEARPAW. They're only the most comfortable things to wear and they make something for everyone in the family.

When the people at BEARPAW heard about our upcoming road trip, they wanted to make sure we traveled comfortably and sent boots for Alex, Eliana, and me. WOW!

For Eliana, they sent the Jasper Infant Pawz in Chestnut Sheepskin.

I've never seen such cushy, comfortable slippers for little feet. Have you? The lining is so fluffy and plush it's like wrapping her little feet in pillows. 

The bottom of these are a soft suede. This means that they're extremely flexible but also offer lots of grip should she try to walk in them {which she has been doing a lot of lately}.

Now, I'm not quite sure I can put into words how much Eliana loves her BEARPAW slippers. Every day, she crawls over to the box where they're waiting to be worn for the road. Once she gets her hands on that box, she pulls out her slippers and takes them with her everywhere she goes. 

I think she'll be a fan for life. 

**Jasper slippers can be bought for around $31 in 2 different colors.

For Alex, BEARPAW sent a pair of Eva 6" Toddler Boots in Chocolate.

I folded down the top of one boot to show the cushy lining.

Alex likes these boots for 2 reasons.

1. He doesn't have to wear socks when he wears them
2. They're very comfortable

When I had him try on these boots for the first time, he kept saying "I like these, mommy. I like these!" I laughed and replied, "I know, buddy."

After that, he wore them all over the house. He enjoyed "boot stompin'" around while being as comfortable  as he could be in his Eva Toddler 6" boots. Yep, he's hooked too.

I know he's going to love wearing these on the road. Being they're so easy to slip on and off, he won't have any trouble at all being independent and cozy at the same time.

*And a happy mom tip for you? These are the only shoes Alex has ever owned that can and will be passed down to his sister. Isn't that neat? Spend the money once, get lots and lots of wear out of your purchase {if you're willing to take the time to properly care for them}.

**You can buy Eva Toddler 6" boots for around $50 in 3 different colors.

Finally, BEARPAW sent their Victorian boots in black for me.

Yes, they are lovely to look at and wear. They're about 8.5" tall and work perfectly with both tucked in or rolled up jeans. I've worn them both ways and like both looks. No matter which way I wear them, I know my feet will be warm and comfortable and that's what matters the most.

 I'm a sucker for detail but I also want to make sure that the branding of what I'm wearing isn't taking away from the style. Does that make sense? I'm happy to let people know who I'm wearing but I shop for looks and not for names.

 
As you can see, BEARPAW does a wonderful job tying their name into the detailed places of the boots without taking away from the overall look.

Speaking of "looks", I particularly like how I can change the look of the Victorian boot altogether. All I have to do is fold down the top. Personally, I think this makes a perfect transition from fall to winter.

 

Totally cute, right?

**The Victorian Boot can be purchased for around $66 in 4 different colors.

So now you know how we'll be keeping cozy on our road trip. And when that's over, we'll get a ton of everyday use out of our boots. We're so grateful to be able to review these.

Now, hop over to BEARPAW, check out their looks, and grab some cozy shoes for you and yours. After that, get social. Check out BEARPAW on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with the latest styles, news, and contests.

**The opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.Others may have a different experience and may not agree with my opinion. Thanks to BEARPAW shoes for the product to review. I was able to keep the items at no cost to me in exchange for an honest review.**

Where I live, the Fall and Winter seasons mean the necessity of having a good pair of boots. You never know if it’s going to be warm or cold, wet or dry. You simply get yourself ready for anything when you dress for the day. (Our weather can be quite unpredictable.)

Beyond practicality, boots are worn as part of the season’s fashion trends. Around here, when you wear boots, most people are looking to see what boots you’re wearing and what you’re wearing them with.

BEARPAW sells fashionable and practical boots for everyone in the family. They’re made with high quality materials and will last through the cold and wet seasons of the year. (These can also be worn in the warm seasons as well.)

For this review, I was sent a pair of 10 inch Eva boots (available in 7 shades) in gray suede. Can I just say…I am loving these boots!

The suede exterior is soft but strong. I know these boots will be able to stand up to the amount of use they’ll get through the cold weather months. (*Make sure you weatherproof your boots with a protective spray to get more life out of them.*)

The interior of the boots is made of a soft and plush sheepskin lining and footbed. What does this do? It offers a dry and very comfortable wear for your foot. The sheepskin regulates the temperature of the boot so that it keeps your foot warm in the cold weather and cool in the warm weather. It also offers plush support for your foot so you can “Live Life Comfortably” as BEARPAW puts it.

As I was perusing the other boots BEARPAW sells, I also fell for these:

These are the BEARPAW Knit Tall boots (available in 3 shades). These sell for only $65.95 and can be worn 2 different ways depending on your style/taste. Here’s the information from the website on the Knit Tall boots.

• Kick back in comfort with the casual versatility of this knit boot.
• Beautifully woven uppers will keep your feet perfectly warm.
• Genuine sheepskin insole cradles your feet in sublime softness.
• Lightly padded footbed provides added cushioning and support.
• You can wear it up or down to bring out your personal style.
• Sheepskin heel counter boasts the Bearpaw™ logo.
• Durable rubber outsole features wavy tread detailing.
• 14.50" shaft height.
• 15.00" circumference.
• 18.00 oz.

Finally, there is a new style of boot that is perfect for the snow/slush coming soon to most of us. This boot is called the Stowe  (available in 5 shades) and although it’s sold in the Men’s area of the website, BEARPAW says it’s also pretty popular among women. This looks like the perfect boot for outdoor work or sports and it sells for $119.95.

Here is the information on the boots from the website.

• This fall, experience all your adventures with the Bearpaw™ Stowe boot.
• Genuine suede and leather uppers feature water-resistant properties.
