Celebrity favorite footwear line BearPaw is introducing a brand new line for this fall mixing the comfort of the suede boots with the unique style of the sheepskin.
Kenya in Blue Steel
With the tagline “live life comfortably,” BearPaw was founded in June of 2001 and is now sold in more than 15 countries, including the U.S., UK, Japan, Swede
n, Israel, Finland, Norway, Canada, Greece and South Korea, to name a few. It was started to give a comfortable yet fashionable option to footwear, using sheepskin as part of the design.
The Fall/Holiday 2011 Savvy Collection was unveiled in June, containing styles called Kenya II, Mara II, Serengeti II and Bristol II. The Kenya II is a 10″ Cheetah-printed cow suede with sheepskin and a wool-blend lining, in addition to a sheepskin foot bed, metal heel logo and charm.
The Mara II differs with its 12″ Ocelot -printed cow suede style but also consists of sheepskin and a wool-blend lining. The Serengeti type uses a zebra-printed cow suede, open on lateral side with a double-toggle closure. Lastly, the Bristol II differentiates by its modern floral embossed cow side details for decoration.
All of these designs are available in women’s sizes 5-12 in various colors (depending on style), including steel blue and black, maple and black, luggage and black, concord and black, and black and silver metallic. The MSRP of these boots ranges between $84.99 and $99.99.
Made for the everyday lady, BearPaw shoes are also loved by many a famous face, including “Dancing with the Stars” lead Karina Smirnoff, who has her own BearPaw boot—the Alyeska. Combining knit and suede materials, the Alyeska is available now. Smirnoff said of the boot: “My love of the BearPaw brand eventually developed into a relationship, which lead me to create the Alyeska Boot. I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do.”

Also willing to lend a helping hand, BearPaw announced on June 1 that it was teaming up with Soles4Souls (www.giveshoes.org) to give footwear to victims of the tornadoes that hit the Southeastern part of the U.S. this past spring. The company has also worked with Zappos to donate pieces to homeless women at Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento.
