Kurgo Blaze Cross Dog Shoes - Winter Boots for Dogs, All Season Paw Protectors - for Hot Pavement and Snow - Water Resistant, Reflective, No Slip - Includes 4 Shoes - Chili Red/Black - XL

I got 2.25" for her back feet which have no dew claws and 2.5" for her front which do. They are exact to her paw measurements and fit great! I appreciate the elastic band in addition to the velcro as it keeps the shoes extra secure. Her previous shoes only had the velcro which allowed the hind shoes to spin on her feet when she ran in them. I love the look and material and, while I don't ever expect her to enjoy wearing them, they seem comfortable enough for her to tolerate putting them on for treats.

I tried several shoes and several sizes of these shoes, and my dog hated them until I also bought socks to wear with them. Now he is happily wearing the shoes. These are the favorite of the shoes I tried in that time. They are sturdier, offer some water resistance, and stay on well. We are slowly breaking them in before our big hike, but have experienced no sores so far.4/5 stars because they were unusable for my dog without also buying socks. We got ruffwear socks, but I have seen people also use toddler socks (typically cheaper than dog specific socks).

These socks are a nice medium weight material. They feel well constructed and have nice features like the tab to pull them on. My dog is 50lbs (ideal weight) and wears 2.5” off-brand shoes. The size medium is just right to stay on with no extra toe fabric, without constricting. The socks easily go on her feet. Her shoes glide right on over the socks. The socks feel secure within the shoe, and come up high enough on her legs that I’m not worried about them falling off. They also seem like they’ll stay up without shoes on, though they don’t have any grippers so might be slippery by themselves. Her back feet are a bit smaller than her front feet, but the socks fit well on both. I haven’t walked her in these yet, so I’m not sure how they’ll stay up when in motion, but I think they’ll work. If you’re wondering if kid’s socks would be a cheaper alternative, I’ve tried it for you, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Even with grippers, kid’s socks are a bit slippery, too much fabric around the toes, and too loose around the ankle. The dog’s back feet are smaller so the kid’s socks can be pulled higher and don’t fall down when walking. But on the front feet, the kid’s socks fall and bunch up inside the shoe. I also compared these to ruffwear brand dog socks, which are too short and have too much fabric in the toe area. Stick with Kurgo dog socks!

The media could not be loaded. OVERALL: First, I have to say that these doggy boots are amazingly high quality. They sure are heavy duty. My girl walked in water, mud, dry spiky bushes, and the boots still look as if I just took them out of the box. Paws stayed dry.CUSTOMER SERVICE : Kurgo's customer service is superb. Because of sizing issues, they sent me size extra small for the rear paws at NO EXTRA CHARGE. I was truly shocked and just loved how much they cared for my girl's comfort!TIPS AND WARNINGS: Okay, I know a lot of people buy dog boots to help protect the paws. This is exactly what they're for. However, you need to know, just like with our own shoes, that dogs need to break theirs in as well. There's no way around it. You might notice little sores developing by their dew claws, but DON'T PANIC. People seriously exaggerate when they say boots hurt their dogs. We suffer from blisters too when jumping into new Vans and trying to skate in them right away. Again, be patient.Make sure you start with short walks first, and keep doing that until boots become softer. Don't take your dog out on a hike right away because that's just irresponsible. Help them get used to the booties. It'll be okay!Also, SIZING is quite an issue. I first ordered size medium because my husky mix has a paw width of 2.6. Size medium was WAY OFF. She kept tripping, and the boots looked very creased, like there was just too much room around toes. I took the leap of faith and exchanged to size small, and they fit like a glove. When between sizes, go for the smaller size, trust me.SCORE: So far, for me, it's a 10/10. Dry paws, comfort, great design, and durability. I'll definitely post an update later.

The large size socks are close to human-sized socks. This is way too big for my Labrador. If you're ordering the socks, I suggest you size down from whatever size you are thinking of ordering. Otherwise, I do like how it's a long sock and the material seemed consistent with human socks, I just wish they weren't so gigantic.

These are easier to put on but.....BIG BUT......They need to be more like high dog knee boots - these will not stay on at all unless you cinch it so tight it will cut off dog circulation to the feet. Almost a great product but not there. I cannot use at all. I purchased the XL and L (because on a diff boot the size was diff so wanted to make sure). The L for my German Shepherd is perfect size and he walked in them but they quickly fell off or going sideways I can see an injury in our future very quickly. Need high knee to accommodate - RETURNING

Sizing is great, the feel of the of the socks seem to be really good also. We put them on our dog and she had no issues with them being on her. We bought them to wear under her booties to protect her dew claws from getting irritated where the shoes would rub them. These are perfect for it.

Such a disappointment. Whoever designed these boots shouldn’t be selling them. The sizes are not accurate. Quality is really poor, specially on the strap area. The height of the boot once is bend will hurt your dog. I regret so much buying these stupid product.Picture shows only two times going outside to do a quick hiking.

Both my boys have sensitive feet and use dog boots yeat round. Like for humans, the dog shoes are better worn with socks to prevent shafing and wick moisture. I used to use Ruffwear liner socks but I cannot find those in Canada any longer so I am super happy to have found these Kurgo socks! They fit really well and look comfy! I highly recommended them! I wish Kugo would make smaller sizes too an also at least 2 different colours so that I can differentiate which socks belong to each of my dogs. All in all, I am very pleased with the Kurgo socks and will be ordering more soon!

what am gonna do with 2 shoes?the dog has 4 feet.

Voulais en faire l'achat ds une animalerie mais ils navaient pas en stock. Tres jolies botinne mon chien adore

Quand je m'amuse dans maison avec elle je lui mets les pattes arrières pour l'empêcher de déraper et d'empirer sa mini-dysplasie ! C'est super ! Moins d'inquiétude !

Very very well made boots. The only boots that stay on during intense activity on my large breed dog (Doberman/Rottweiler). Absolutely recommend without a doubt. You won’t regret spending the $$$
