When I saw these here on Amazon, I fell in love with them.I priced them in Tulsa at several shops/mall/etc.No one here has this style with the feather band.The ones that they did have were a LOT more and were nowhere as cute.I ordered them last week and they arrived today.I couldn''t wait to get them on when I got them.
I have had them on all day now and I love love love them.They are really beautiful boots I ordered them in white.The outside is really awesome, white fur fake fur I''m sure, you PETA fans.(Although my chihuahua will disagree, he has been growling at them ever since I took them out of the box.)The inside is lined with wool, giving it extra padding as well as warmth.I have noticed that they aren''t really heavy either, like those boots that weight a ton and make your legs tired after wearing them for a while.They are really lightweight, yet still really warm and comfortable just what I wanted.
I do also like that the feather band on them is sewn in on the top of the band and the bottom.I was worried that this would be something that could snag easily or come loose.But I don''t see that being a problem.The little leather straps that hang down on the side are perfectly matched to the color of the boot, and they are really cute.They don''t flap enough to really be a problem either when you are walking.
I am curious to see how they do on the ice and snow, but so far, the traction is great.We have wood and tile throughout our house and I have other boots that I slip in constantly.I''ve noticed that the soles of these boots are rubber, they remind me a bit of Doc Martins.So I''m hoping that they do good on snow and ice.
It''s in the mid-20''s here today and I''ve been outside several times in the wind.My feet are still just fine and cozy.Having never owned a pair of Bearpaw boots, I wasn''t sure how warm they would be.I''ll be out more later and this week, I''m sure I''ll wear them everywhere.I''ve gotten tons of compliments on them already.
While these are more than I would normally spend on a pair of boots yes, I''m a cheapie I am SO glad that I went ahead and ordered these.Although I''ve only had them a day so far, I am totally in love with them.My sister saw the ones I ordered and has ordered herself some in black.If you''re looking for something really cool and unique to wear, yet will still keep your feet warm, I''d recommend these completely.Just make sure that you order them bigger than you normally wear so that you aren''t mad that you can''t wear them.
I dearly love the Bearpaw Kolaboots...the look, the feel, the comfort, everything.I have Kola I in three shades if that tells you anything...white, black, and chestnut and am trying to get rust, too.So when I saw the Kola II in Maple I eagerly placed my order.
The look is almost identical to the original Kola but they appear to not be as well made.And while the original Kola required sizing up...I normally wear a 9 and the 10 was great....do NOT size up in the Kola 2.A 9 would have been fine and I swam in the 10.The shearling in both the footbed and the lining is not as plush as in the original Kola. The heel is also constructed differently and is slightly shorter and not as comfortable.
I do HIGHLY recommend the original Kola...if you can find it in your size, and do size up.If you can''t and have to have this look it is an OK substitute, but not nearly as nice as the original Kola, in my opinion. That is in both feel and construction quality.Sadly, these areon their way back.

The sizing is a little off...I bought 2 pair 9 thinking they were like uggs, I am a 9.5, 9 in uggs...no...they are true to size and we need to size UP a half size...The brown ones are 9 and fit snugly...the chestnut are 9 and fit very (too?)snugly . I am 9.5 so should have gone 10! They are not soft like uggs so do not stretch easily...BUT they are fabulous boots. Warm and sexy even for winter...not overwhelming like Ugg mamas,( which I have and they get ratty, the fluffy sheepskin ones) the feathers pull in the fur on this and add to the style. love them, great price!Around a year ago I bought these very same boots... I loved them. I lost my home and all my belongings in a house fire. I bought these shoes (i got my original pair off of amazon as well) and I am just disgusted. The box arrived and looked damaged. I opened them up to find boots that were NOTHING like the pair I had before. The ''hair'' on the boot is extremely long and i say ''hair'' because Im not even sure it is real. Im really wondering if what I received wasn''t a knock off. There was glue EVERYWHERE. Spots of glue around the toe of the boot.. all over in the hair. And to top it off it looked like the ''hair'' was singed :( needless to say im returning these.. i did not spend $140 for the crap I got. I received my item from VirtualExchange.Not only are these boots the coolest boots i have owned, they are the warmest.Do go up a size, as i did, u will love them.Quality is amazing.
