Bark'n Boots from Ruffwear are revolutionary shoes that'll keep your dog's paws protected from cuts and abrasion while you run and hike. Sizing: Have dog stand on a firm surface with a piece of paper under one paw, lift the other paw so the dogs weight in on one paw. Mark the widest points on the paper. Measure between the points to get the paw width.

I have a totally new dog!! | |
| Rating: |  |
| We rescued a middle aged dog from the pound a couple of years ago, and he seems to have achy joints when it gets cold. He is on NSAIDs to help him in the winter. On our summer hiking trips he'd do okay but would then display what we assumed to be joint problems after a couple of days, so we always were very careful with him, moving slow, stopping a lot to let him rest, keeping to easier trails, bringing his pain meds, etc. He has brown pads, and we noticed on our week-long trips he would sometimes experience some irritation by the end of the trip if walking on sandy trails. We didn't want to leave him behind on our trips, so in an effort to give him some comfort, we bought these boots. We tried them for the first time on a recent trip, and WE HAVE A NEW DOG! Instead of a slow moving, take lots of breaks dog, we now have a dog who acts much younger than his years and runs up and down the trail as we hike. I've NEVER seen this dog behave this way. Running, tail wagging the entire time, having fun. No more apparent stiffness or joint pain. It appears his pain all along was related to his feet, and I feel foolish and guilty for waiting so long to purchase these for him. We bought the socks as others have recommended on this board, and they help to prevent irritation and also keep the boots in place. To prevent the socks from sliding into the boots, we fold the ends over the top of the boot, and the exposed velcro on the boot seems to hold them in place. I was concerned that they might be "in the way" when hiking on rocky terrain and actually interfere with him being able to negotiate on granite or other rocky trails. Not so! He powered through granite, brush, and sand without the slightest problem. He beat us to the truck on our 4 mile hike, still with energy to continue. Not like him at all. The only problem I've experienced is on dusty or sandy trails, I needed to remove them occasionally to get sand and dirt out...but of course we were doing that with our own hiking boots, so that's to be expected. | |

Good to have just in case,Liners a MUST! | |
| Rating: |  |
| We have these for our 65lb yellow lab. We had the previous generation Ruff Wear boots before they changed to these new versions with vibram soles..The previous ones were useless for outdoor activity and we just use them now when we take the dog to moms house with nice wood floors now. This new version our Lab logged many backpacking miles on season but we found that they would rub her legs raw where they tightened at the top, so we only stated carrying them in her packs and not using them unless she damaged a pad or had super sore paws. Now they have come out with the extra liners this year, which is a great fix for the irritation problem.. In my opinion these liners ARE A MUST and should be included with the boot sets (especially for the price). To keep these boots from coming of or rotating around they need to be snug at the top but this WILL cause irritation. Its not IF its WHEN. Buy the liners too! Other thoughts are that these hinder my labs traction on pretty much any surface (snow, dirt, rocks, water) so I pretty much just pack these in the dogs packs on hikes and trips "just in case". Bottom line, these work for what they are but I dont think you will want to use them in high frequency, your dog will thank you as well.. | |

Good boots, order an extra pair | |

| It takes a bit to get used to putting these on, but they will save paws on rough terrain. Typically I go out for a week or more and do 60 miles with my girl over very rough terrain (sharp rocks). Without foot protection her paws would be cut to shreds after 10 miles. These will save paws and allow your critter to keep moving comfortably. You do need to watch out for rub spots. The socks they sell for these have worked well for me so I will recommend those as well. You do need to attach them quite snugly to keep them on otherwise you tend to lose them. Invariably I lose 1 or 2 per trip so I buy an extra set. These boots are good for 100 miles or so but really start showing their wear. I think my girl and I have over 200 miles using these boots and we couldn't make our trips without them. | |

Great For Big Dogs! | |
| Rating: | |
| I have an 85lb german sheppard that runs all day long with the neighbors dog up and down our fence. She keeps digging different things up and gets alot of cuts on her paws. we went through many cheaper boots, that she would rip up within hours. These boots are great. for the people that have left comments about the boots turning and falling off, their main problem is their not getting the right size. We have always just purchased large boots for her, but this time measured her paws like suggested and went for the medium boot. which for an 85lb dog you automatically feel is too small. But the fact is they fit her perfectly, keeping them from moving around and falling off. She runs as fast as she can up and down the fence turning pinpoint and they stay on. a bit expensive, but worth it, if your dog keeps cutting their paws. | |

Completely different dogs | |
| Rating: | |
| My boys and I are active all year round, and these boots are awesome for all sorts of conditions. We even wear these on normal walks around the neighborhood to protect from broken glass and stickers. Feynman, my six-year-old border collie, is a completely different dog when he has these on, and loves to go running where before he would just saunter along. Riley, my lab mix, isn't too keen on his boots except in the snow, so he just wears the boots if we're going on a long hike in the mountains. They are true to size, and you have to get the right size or they will come off and twist around. They are so easy to put on and to keep clean---the mesh upper is nice, too, because it wicks moisture away from the paw, something your dog will appreciate. | |

These boots are awesome | |

| I bought these boots for my two Labrador retrievers for general use-not just on trails or in the winter-to protect their feet from the broken glass and other stuff on the streets. The boots fit well and the velcro keeps the boots securely in place. They are lightweight, and the rubber bottom is sturdy. My dogs both took to them quickly (though the little dance they did initially was pretty funny), and don't mind when the boots are left on after we're done walking. They are a little pricey, but considering the quality and the good fit, and they are well worth the money. | |

best booties so far | |
| Rating: | |
| I have been handling dogs for search and rescue and patrol K-9's for years. This is the best set of booties that I have owned yet. They are tough against burs and the extreme hot surfaces Here in Iraq where a LZ pad can excede 170 degrees. The only problem I've had so far is loosing booties but my dog has figured out that by raking her back feet on pavement, she can wipe the back ones off if she works at it. In normal wear conditions and activity they stay on well and do not easily come off. | |

Good boot | |
| Rating: | |
| I am a MWD (Military Working Dog) handler with the US Air Force. My MWD, Haus a German Shorthair Pointer, uses the booties with no complaints. We have worked and used this product in temperatures that range for -20deg to +135deg (with flight line temps in excess of 165deg). They have worked very well. Just make sure you fit them correctly. The sock liners are an almost must as well. I am not sure how well they work for there advertised purpose but for a working dog team that MUST complete a mission they work great. | |

My dog and I both love these boots! | |
| Rating: | |
| Unlike some of the other reviewers who have large dogs, I have an 18-pound Bichon, and we live in Minnesota. We take longs walks in our cold, snowy winters, and these boots are the best I've found. Without them, he'll stop after about 30 feet to get the snow and ice out of his paws. With them, he'll walk for miles. They are easy to put on, clean up quickly, and they last. | |

Not what I was hoping for... | |
| Rating: |  |
| I have problems with the pads on my dog's paws peeling off after running on rocky terrain, downhill, and especially if he gets them wet while we're out. He also gets foxtails between his toes. I bought these boots because I had believed in Ruffwear's products and their R&D. The box says why dogs want our boots and I will tell you why they don't want their boots.-Boots 'roll' and come off.-Boots cause irritation.-Vibram sole wears quickly.-Boots retain water and cause paws to become 'soggy.'-My dog's paws are larger in the front than the rear, requiring two different sizes.-Air mesh allows foxtails and stickers to enter boots[...]These boots are neat looking and would be good for a dog who runs on hot pavement, rocks, and frozen ground. I would also use them on surfaces you don't want your dog to scratch. These are definitely not "all- season, all-terrain, all-condition paw wear." They may work well for the average dog owner and or average dog. These are not for those who go hard and go everywhere... | |
