Paw Protector Dog Boots Breathable Nonslip and Soft Color Black Size X-Large

Bought for adult GSD with degenerative myelopathy for bilat rear weakness, knuckling, and sliding. Size is accurate as per measurement chart, material seems durable, vibrant red color, bottom rubber provides traction assistance to minimize sliding on indoor floors, and just by providing some traction, has so far literally prevented any knuckling. Velcro strap is essential and works accordingly. She is not fussing to get them off. Has not been ideal for outdoor wear due to icy conditions- we did try outdoors but the rubber just caused her to slide even more on the ice (its Feb). She will be wearing these outdoors come spring. I would recommend trying these.

My 15 lb cockapoo refuses to wear these boots. Somehow, she also walks right out of them even if I cinch the Velcro tight. They are very stiff. I think my dog does not like how stiff they are and that contributes to them coming right off. If your dog is in anyway hesitant to wear boots, avoid these dog boots. I am returning them, even though I paid extra shipping to get then here in 24 hours. I think if the boots were not so stiff, the problems would be resolved. If your dog is amenable to wearing boots, these seem okay for the price. The tops have breathable mesh, whish is nice. The bottoms are kind of stiff plastic, but it does appear to be non-skid. I wish I could offer advise on size, but I just cant tell. I got size small after posting question. Paw 2 inches wide. Paw is longer than 2 inches in length. I keep looking at the boots and think they look like the correct size. But the stiffness makes them slide off like a shoe horn.ADD: Seller suggested I try using hair ties to hold the boots on. I had none so I tried rubber bands and masking tape. Nothing worked. The bottoms are stiff and slick and the dog slides them right off no matter how tightly I cinch the Velcro. They won't stay on me cockapoo's feet for 30 seconds. These are not dogs boots. Have to return. Disappointed I paid extra for overnight shipping.

This is a sizing/design issue. I bought these for my lab whose feet have a large paw surface area, but the paws are not large in height or volume. Plus, her paws measure to be oval, longer in length than width. An additional complication is that her back feet are smaller than her front feet. So I bought two sizes, large and extra-large based on the length. While the product seems well made and I liked the fastener, the boot itself was very large and not very snug fitting after following the recommended sizing chart for either size. They did end up much too wide. The boots would swivel around if she was active and end up walking on the sides or tops. Maybe a medium would have worked, but then I am concerned about the length not working out. Her back feet were 2" wide x 3.25" long and her fronts were 2.5" wide x 3.5" long.

The media could not be loaded.  Pros:-Keeps paws cool-Fits great-prevent paws from getting cut and from getting burns-BreathableCons:-Not slip resistant on the floors inside, but on concrete and asphalt they were slip resistant-Slipped off on front paws when she ran-I think they irritate her front right paw, because she kept licking at her leg

They were made great and would work to help protect his feet when we are walking outside but my puppy isn’t going to get any bigger

My situation may be unique. I bought these for my German Shepherd who has hip dysplasia and drags one of his back paws occasionally when he walks and I needed to protect his paw from scraping. I thought the design would be good since it was ventilated. The boot was easy to to put on and appeared to fit correctly, the material however is not strong enough to last when it is scraped on asphalt and concrete. After a walk of about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile the front of the boot was worn through and provided no protection. I know my situation is unique and these may work if there is not a high degree of surface abrasiveness. Just not for me

Make sure you measure first, I assumed my 98lb Lab would be an XL but he was actually a L, and they fit him perfectly. The strap wraps around his ankle and back onto itself. The only thing I worry about is over time the velcro will get full of hair and lose it's stickiness, so I am ordering a 2nd pari as a backup. He is getting old and can't walk on our new hardwood floors without slipping all over and these have made a world of difference. They must be comfortable because he hasn't tried to take them off once. He has been out in the snow and they did get wet but seem to dry pretty quick, not like a quickdry fabric but they don't stay soaked all day either. I really like them and the price seems pretty reasonable.

Odie, my 35-pound cocker-poodle mix, was really suffering from asphalt heat on hot days. His normally great discipline would completely break down in parking lots, where he would desperately seek shade among the cars, or, if no shade was available, he would literally run in circles until I could get the car door open, and then he'd fly into the car as fast as he could jump. His paws would be red and tender, which he would then make worse by licking and chewing on them. My first order of Medium sized shoes were too small and had to be returned (no hassles) -- the reviews and the vendor's information is correct: order a size that will be a bit larger than, not equal to, the measured paw size of your dog (Odie has water spaniel webbed paws, a bit large for a 35-lb dog). Once the second order of Large size shoes arrived, we tried them out on a couple of hot days on hot asphalt. What a difference! Although Odie had been conditioned to expect a burn, and had entered the hot parking lot with some trepidation at first, there was no more panicky running around. He was obviously comfortable in the shoes on hot pavement. You could almost see the surprise on Odie's face. We've had them for only a couple of days, so i can't say anything about durability yet . The shoes do stay on his feet -- I think the trick here is to ensure that his toe nails are right up against the inside toe edge of the shoe, and then tighten the Velcro straps. Both Odie and I are very happy with this solution. Bonus: the shoes make a very pleasant "clopping" noise, like a miniature horse.

Dog had procedure on toe and these stayed on and top of shoe is mesh so it was perfect for recovery, measure and it fit to size

Not good for a little dog. Perhaps they'd be better for a Lab or something of that size.

UPDATE: I still like these boots; however, if your dog is running like at a dog park and/or in snow higher than the top of the boot, the snow gets in from the top and helps bring down the boot until it finally flies off. I've had different types of doggie boots, expensive ones and cheap ones like these. Unless you are doing straight sidewalk walking, any doggie boot is hard to stay on especially if you have dogs that play fetch and run alot in the snow. So if you only need these for below temperatures to keep your dogs paw pads from getting frostbite etc then I would still recommend these. It seems the back paw boots stay on most of the time, it's the front paw boots that seem to fly off eventually. Maybe it's how the dog runs putting more onus on front paws while running. Anyways, for the price, especially when most doggie boots price range is typically of $60 - $100 (or more) . These do the job in -35 temperatures as these type of winter temperatures are usually only a few days to a week at most.I have 3 large rescues and needed dog boots for winter. Our winters are often 4ft of snow and can go to -40 temperatures. I measured their paws and paw width was 3" and the length for 2 of them was about 4" so I ordered 2 extra large and a large. I think the large would have sufficed. The extra large still work just giving a "spacious" area for the pad of the paw. The design of the boot is very good. And even though these soft paw boots may not be "fleeced" for winter it does exactly what I want and need. That my dog's paws don't touch the surface of the cold pavement, snow and ice especially when it's -20 or more. I like that they don't have those structured heavy rubber base like other dog boots allowed more flexibility and ease for my dog to comfortable walk and wear. Dog boots can be very expensive. Now I haven't been able to test the durability; however, they look pretty solid to me and I can see getting alot of wear out of them. it's a little snug at the ankle part of the boot so if your dog is moving around alot, it will make it harder to get them on. I understand why the fabric top part is slightly narrower so they help stay up and on. And then you have the velcro to secure the bottom part of the boot. I think these boots are a great buy for what I needed and the price. Just make sure of the sizing. The extra large is more for a great dane size. Most large dogs I think will fit into the large size. Excellent buy, highly recommended.

Easy to put on and they stayed on.

The product seemed promising when i first open the package however after one short (5min) walk, there are already rips in it. Poor quality. Only thing that was good was that it stayed on the whole walk.
