Comment on Ugg Boot Faceoff! EMU, Whooga, UGG Australia, BEARPAW & More! by Christa

Awesome to find a comparison review!! I have many friends that wear UGG brand and as much as I love shoes, I am not willing to pay the price for them. A year ago I went on a search for an alternative, that was less expensive and used genuine materials. I decided to try Bearpaw based on reviews I read on Amazon and the price was worth the try. I love them!!! After wearing them often though one full winter season….they hardly appear worn at all, still look new for season two. They have held shape and are still very warm and comfortable. I have been wearing the Meadow style, I chose them for the re-enforced toe and rubber sole, I felt they would be better than the soft sole for wet/cold/snow areas. I feel Bearpaw wears overtime better than other brands, possibly due to the cowhide suede exterior. Bearpaw is now sold in many stores including Macys, but if you love to have multiple pairs a boots, buy them on Amazon. You can purchase three pairs for the price of one pair of UGGs. On the size note, the manufacture says they run small and order a size up, I am a 7.5 and am wearing a 7…..they were a little snug the first couple times I wore them but broke in perfect.

That’s an interesting idea, Anonymous. It doesn’t sound at all reasonable that 8 sheep are killed for 1 pair of Uggs (where did you get that fact?) but I am curious to know where companies source the sheep and how they are treated. I wonder if any of the thousands of companies making leather shoes get their leather from well-treated cows – it seems most people concerned with the welfare of the animals just use faux leather nowadays. By the way, the Payless Airwalks uggs I reviewed here are vegan/animal-free.

Great review. Very helpful. I was hesitant about Bearpaws because I’ve been an Ugg girl in the past, but Uggs just aren’t practical for unpredictable New England weather. Can’t wait to try them!!

This didn’t help at all, I want to know how they treat their sheep! There’s more important things than fashion you know, what if sheep started making boots out of us! Did you know that it kills 8 sheep to make 1 pair of Uggs? This is like, animal cruelty!

Hi Everyone, for all of you who are concerned about ruining your UGG boots with water stains, fading, etc., I took my granddaughter’s UGG’s to the dry cleaners to get them reconditioned by a man who comes down from Canada once every 2 weeks. He picks up the boots, cleans, dyes, and reconditions them for $30, and when you get them back, they look BRAND NEW. My granddaughter’s feet have grown larger than her mother’s feet, so when she got a new pair of boots, I had her old ones reconditioned and she is giving them to her mother for Christmas. I live in upstate New York, but you can ask the dry cleaners in your location about this. It is well worth it. You will be amazed!

Thank you so much for this review! I was looking around to replace my uggs worn out after many years of use, but I was wondering with all these new brands out what to get. This was extremely helpful.

Comment on Shoe Subscription Sites – Comparing ShoeDazzle, JustFabulous & Sole Society by Jackie

I haven’t tried any of these sites yet but out of the three I think I’d lean more towards Just Fabulous..might be due to the persuasion of the SkinnyScoop users that voted “yes” for this site over ShoeDazzle or SoleSociety. In fact, ShoeDazzle got the most “no” votes so I may stay away from that site, but would love to hear more opinions. http://www.skinnyscoop.com/list/eden/monthly-gift-clubs-and-subscription-services-the-best-and-the-worst
