Good Durable Shoes

I purchased these boots after the sky-liners failed. If you are looking for a durable shoe, these should work. I've had good results using the Large size on my 11 month old bullmastiff. However the back shoes do turn on him every once in a while. I'd recommend these and am pleased. I purchased the socks and have yet to use them...
They don't work

I just bought and returned these boots for my dog within 24 hours. We sized her for a medium, but she ended up swimming in the boots, so we went for a small. At the Duffy Lake trailhead we put them on, and within 30 seconds she had them off, buried in the snow. We decided not to go any smaller in size, since she was already in a small size. Returned immediately. I agree with arthur, impossible to keep on the dog
These keep spinning on my dogs feet. I am hoping the socks will
These keep spinning on my dogs feet. I am hoping the socks will help with that problem. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

If they are "spinning" (i.e. turning backwards) it's likely you need a smaller size, or maybe your dogs paw is not all the way down into the toe of the boot. The strap should end up above the ankle bones, and higher than the "extra toe" on your dog's foot. Tighten them down as tight as you like: it doesn't hurt as long as you don't pinch or fold any skin.
Also: water will cause them to stretch a little, so they need to be retightened after they get wet.
Hope this helps!

These are tuff boots and they last a long time. BUT after 10 or 20 miles they tend to fall off.
Great for long hikes or snowy conditions

We have a 3 legged yellow lab so we do everything we can to protect his feet. We had to try a couple different sizes but once we got the right ones they worked great. At first the dog is going to walk/run a little goofy because of something being on their feet not because they are too tight. Let them break the shoes in and get used to them, after 15 minutes retighten the straps and there shouldnt be a problem.

Remember your dogs front paws will be bigger than the back paws. So you might need both sizes. You can order them individually from the company, or if you are feeling flush..get 2 sets.

Great Doggy boots

Haven't had a problem with falling off if you follow the directions and tighten them up after the first 5-10 minutes of wearing they stay on.The Socks help a lot. They are a little tough to get on at first but about like putting shoes on a toddler. They seem to be holding up will great in the snow as well as the desert.
Awesome: We bought two!!

We live in the Phoenix, AZ area so the pavement is way HOT, HOT, HOT. We like to go hiking, and even the bare ground gets intolerable to our Lab puppy's new little paws. He's 6 months old, and we started using these at 4.5 months. We put them on before we leave the house, and re-check the fit (as the instructions state) prior to heading out on the trail. No Problems! He prances at first, and then runs up the trail to the top of the hill, and runs back. He loves to go to Petsmart with us and is happy to put his "shoes" on prior to leaving the house if it means another adventure with the family.I was originally going to give this product 4 stars because I thought the fit could be improved a little bit, but after thinking about it 5 stars is more accurate. We went with these because getting the right size is so much easier with these than anything else we were thinking about. Some places want you to measure the dogs foot, and also suggest that the earlier you start a dog with the shoes the easier it will be for them to accept them. So we tried to stand (and you have to stand the dog to get an accurate measurement) our 4.5 month 50 pound bundle of Chocolate Labrador energy to get this measurement. Forget it! Thank god for easy sizing.
Sorry, don't have any pics of Scooby with his shoes on, but a pup that bobs for beer is always a good shot. FYI we did not make a bottle opener available to him.

We bought these after trying several others and after a camping trip where long hikes made for sore paws. Ouch! These are definitely paw savers. They are easier to keep on with the socks, and you have to adjust them after 5 min or so, then they stay on no problem.
Can't keep 'em on

Like the other reviewers say, basically it's tough to keep these boots on the dogs feet. I tightened as much as I could w/o hurting my dog and they still came off within 5-10 minutes. I returned them.
Definitely worth a try

We just dropped a size from an extra larger to a large for our golden retriever. He'd lost one of the XL's while we were mountain biking. Yes, you definitely have to make sure the boot is on snug but he wore the XL's for full season before losing one. He even wore his last pair swimming several times. Before getting the booties, he would come home with cut up feet after a mountainbike ride, now his feet are fine- just put them on tight!!
Change me.
