Is $63.96 a good price for the Bearpaw Elle Short Wide?

Yes. The Elle Short typically sells for $80 to $110, so $63.96 at Belk as of November 7, 2026 is a strong discount. It is the lowest of the three stores listing it new.

How does the wide width fit compared with the standard Elle Short?

The D width adds room across the ball of the foot and instep, which suits fuller feet or thick socks. If you normally wear a medium width, the standard version will fit better.

Are these boots actually waterproof?

The upper is listed as waterproof, so light rain and slush are fine. The suede still needs a protector spray, and the short shaft means water can enter from the top in deep puddles.

What is the shaft height and heel?

The shaft is 8 inches with a flat, low heel and no platform. That makes them a low ankle boot rather than a tall snow boot.

What sizes and colors are available?

Sizes run from US 5 to 10 in this listing, in black. Other Elle Short colors exist, but sizing and stock vary by store.

Can I wear them without socks?

The wool and leather lining is soft enough for bare feet, but the lining can feel scratchy at first. Thin socks are more comfortable until the lining softens.
