Well here we are, a step to getting used to wearing a fursuit. These are bearpaws that I got at the western US chain restaurant, Black Bear Diner (http://www.blackbeardiner.com/). I went to the Walnut Creek, CA location to celebrate my birthday that weekend, and I did notice that they had these gloves for sale. Though I am not a bear at all (red panda and wolf), these gloves are just for practice and for show whenever I am in the FF'dom. The claws are made of felt, just to let you know. Eventually, they will be retired and possibly sold so I can get my handpaws for my respective species in the future,and they will have more realistic claws. The company, Wishpets (http://www.wishpets.com/) did a great job in making them, and I am not sorry to buy a $14.09 pair of handpaws.
(The price above includes 8.5% sales tax.)
So if I am at a furbowl, furmeet, picnic or convention, I will wear these with the hook and tag still connected to them. Look out for them!
