Bearpaw is a brand of footwear founded by Tom Romeo in 2001. Bearpaw products are made from sheepskin, best known for producing ugg boots, as well as slippers and casual footwear for men, women, and children.

Background

Bearpaw entered the market in 2001, and is based in Citrus Heights, California. Their signature product is sheepskin boots.[1] The main brand competitors are UGG Australia and EMU Australia, both of which produce sheepskin boots and other similar footwear. The UGG Australia brand has been a popular fashion trend among young women since the early 2000s. Bearpaw footwear was introduced to the market as an alternative to the popular UGG brand. Bearpaw products are more cost effective than UGG Australia products as they use sheepskin lining which is either glued or sewn onto a leather outer. This is a different material than twin faced sheepskin which is just sheepskin with the wool still attached.
