CovertSafe& Dog Boots for Dogs Non-Slip, Waterproof Dog Booties for Outdoor, Dog Shoes for Medium to Large Dogs 4Pcs with Rugged Sole Black-Brown

Our dog is allergic to pretty much everything outside, and one of the areas to suffer the most are his feet. He gets really red, irritated, severely itchy skin between his toes and pads three out of four seasons. We clean off his feet after every trip outside, but that option gets really expensive, really quick with buying wipes, paper towels, paw cleaner, extra laundry, etc. We delayed getting him booties since we weren't sure how he'd react.Well, finally we decided to go ahead and buy a set. Turns out he doesn't mind wearing these at all. His back paws are incredibly ticklish, so not having to go through the torment of that every time he goes outside is probably the better deal in his doggy mind. After a couple of minutes of wonky walking to get used to the feel of the booties, he was off romping in the yard. We still need to clean the booties (wipe down the bottoms after each trip outside if they are dirty, and toss in the laundry every so often to keep the insides clean), but it's a heck of a lot less work - and cheaper - than wiping his paws after each jaunt. The velcro straps keep the booties securely on his paws, and there is plenty of room for his toes and nails. We got the largest size available just in case, and we're glad we sized up one size. This allows his toes to freely spread like they normally would if his paws were bare. He doesn't suffer from lack of balance or steadiness when walking or running, even over uneven ground.Since these are used so frequently and as we do launder them, I suspect we will need to replace the two sets we have before the year is over. These booties are well made and seem to be comfortable for him, but like any shoe the tread on the bottom starts to wear down. We try to clean out the velcro as much as possible, but that can also start to loose grip over time. For as much as he wears these and the time and energy saved not having to clean off his paws several times a day (not to mention making less trash or using as much electricity and water), we will 100% get our money's worth. Now we feel pet parent guilt for not buying booties sooner!!!

This is my second time purchasing and I am probably going to keep buying these as long as they're being sold! 100% worth it for the protection and comfort they provide my dogs.Sizing: I got size 6 for my 65 lb dog and a size 8 for my 85 lb dog.Short story: they're very protective, dogs dont mind them, easy to put on, stay on securely, moisture resistant, and have an expected amount of life/wear in them. Buy them! Your dog's feet will thank you. I live in FL and use them on the roads here- I know a lot of folks only think of getting shoes for extreme weather or weird terrain but let me tell you, roads have their share of hazards too- pavement gets HOT in the summer sun and all kinds of trash and fragments of things end up on the edges of roads and walkways- things you can't always see like glass. These are 100% worth it and I will always buy them for my dogs from now on.Long story: I originally bought 2 sets of these for both my large dogs, doberman pinschers, about 8 months ago. I take them on runs with me around the neighborhood daily and last year one of them got a piece of glass in her foot and I sought to prevent that from happening again so I found these babies. Yeah the dogs were a little hesitant at first and high step when I first out them in but use treats to build a positive association and the second we leave the house they forget about them. The Velcro straps tighten right around the 'ankles' so the shape of their paws keeps the shoes from slipping off. Rubber is thick and protective - I can tell my dogs notice a difference since using them, as they used to lose some steam around the 3/4 mark on our jaunts but not they're full steam ahead the whole time! I now think they only started to poop out earlier cause their feet were sore..Regarding the wear and tear: nothing lasts forever, just remember that. I am replacing these after 8 months because a couple of the shoes developed worn out holes in them but this is in no way a defect of the manufacturer-shoes are designed to wear out slowly. Heck, serious runners replace their running shoes every 4-6 months! So, considering we run daily, 8 months is more life than I expected to get out of them.I am very pleased, which is why I just bought my second set. I now consider these as essential a piece of equipment for dogs as having a leash, food and water bowl.

I have a 65 pound boxer and we got the size 6. They fit him good!Pros:They stay on (just make sure they are snug)Protect his feet from the cold/hot pavement, glass, etc.Con:I wish they covered more of his hands and feet and not just the paw. As you can see in the 2nd picture, they don’t cover much past his paw. This is fine if we are just walking on normal pavement, but if we walk through snow, the snow does tend to fall into the booties because of how low they are.Overall they are decent quality and do the job of protecting his paws which was my main concern.
