The new BEARPAW Men’s Collection is officially out, featuring four brand new styles for men alongside the two classics already offered, the Stowe and Dream boots.

This new collection has been a long time coming for BEARPAW, who has enjoyed great success in the women and children’s footwear market, and has had fans clamoring for a wider selection of styles for men. The Fall 2011 line retails for $110-$140, and features tumble leathers and oil-pressed suedes that set the collection apart from the women’s or children’s lines with more masculine textures. Celebs are already flipping out over the mens boots and moccasins – hmm, jealous of your girlfriends much, guys? Josh Sussman (below, r.) from FOX’s hit show Glee loves the brown leather McKinley boots. Vernon Davis (above, l.) of the San Francisco 49ers digs his Stowes, saying, “These are cool. Like an athlete’s dream!” Though his 49ers did not make it to the Super Bowl, Davis performed admirably in their playoff against the NY Giants (producing 101 yards and two touchdowns). Looks like actor/singers and tough guys love the comfort of sheepskin boots just as much as everyone else.

The Fall 2011 line is a solid introduction to men’s footwear for BEARPAW, with classic motorcycle-inspired leather detailing as well as the traditional comfortable cool the brand is known for in a variety of mocs and slip-ons. Fall 2012 will usher in an expanded collection, including a chukka boot, another slip-on style, and a redesigned Chelsea boot that riffs on this season’s “Larkin.”

After looking through the new collection for myself, I’m pretty sure most guys are going to have the same response to these boots as I did. Grant Harvey from The Secret Life of an American Teenager said it best while rockin’ his Mark boots: “These are sweet. Hell yeah. They’re dope.” Well put, Grant.
