"LOVE THESE BOOTIES! I ordered these to protect our dogs paws from road salt, and could't be more pleased! I ordered a size smaller than the suggested size for Sophie's measured paw size because a review I read said they run big, and that was right on!"

— Steve

"they do the job, but they slip off his feet, as most shoes i have used for him, but these do seem slightly worse than the last pair i had. they typically need to be put back on properly every 5 min on most walks - i think this is just the issue with boots that are basically straight - no curved heel..."

Bottom Line

Ideal for snow hikes but not cozy for city walks due to slipping issues. Size small and use Winter socks/cuffs with elastic.
