QUMY Dog Shoes for Small Dogs, Puppy Dog Boots & Paw Protectors for Winter Snowy Day, Summer Hot Pavement, Waterproof in Rainy Weather, Ourdoor Walking, Indoor Hardfloors Skid-Resistant Sole Pink 2

I have two dogs, the smaller of which (16 pound Bichon Frise) is the reason for this purchase. She has a prey drive and energy levels like I have never seen before. Because of this, she is a total nutcase when we go on walks. She is a total sweetheart and wouldn't hurt a fly (and I'm not just saying this - my other dog would hurt a fly and the fly's entire family), but she is a barky, scratchy mess when we walk through our neighborhood and she feels she's missing out on a chance to socialize or get to do something fun. She is still a young dog and we are working with her to help her work on impulse control, but she is stubborn and not very treat motivated due to her high prey drive.Enter the problem: When she is like this, she runs in what I like to call her "mountain climb" mode. Her paws turn outward slightly, and she uses every bit of force to try to propel herself forward. She will stop and wait if I tell her to or stop myself, but then continues in her mountain climb as soon as we are moving again. This motion wreaks havoc on her poor paw pads. She has inconsistently worn down her nails and basically filed parts of her paw pads down to the sensitive nerves under the pad.Enter the solution: Targeted ads work great on me, and I found doggy booties through a targeted ad. I measured my dog's paws, and went with two different sizes based on the recommendations of the other booties I saw. We get the booties in, and my dog hates them, and is able to fling them off immediately. Not a great start. I return both pairs, and see that there are smaller ones ALSO made by QUMY. I loved the quality of the other booties, they were just too big.I get in this pair, and I'm a little hesitant at first - they look a little on the cheap side, the zippers seem a little fragile, and they seemed small for my little, curly, fluffy dog. "Oh well, we might as well give them a try", I say, and start working to finagle the booties on her little feet.And they work. My dog doesn't immediately start biting at the boots or squealing at me while I'm putting them on. These were a tight fit, but she adapted to them immediately - none of that dancing on her tiptoes nonsense we got with the other booties. I was a little concerned about them staying on like the other booties because they felt tight, and the zippers didn't seem reliable at first, but I was wrong. They stayed on for a whole walk, and I had her stay in them for a little longer just to see if she was bothered by them - a big NOPE! These booties were not only cute, they counted for her little paw pads. She's still a maniac-work-in-progress, but at least I can feel assured that she's a maniac-work-in-progress with paw pads that she's not destroying.

I have had these shoes about two years and mostly just use them when it is muddy outside or the sidewalks are salted for ice. My dog did not like them at first and still isn't that big a fan but has grown used to them. The main roblem is that the stitchign is coming undone and the shoes will come off if my dog runs but they are great for walks and my dogs feet stay dry and clean.

I did have to return first set for a size smaller than I originally ordered. (Measured dog's feet but maybe was too generous in my measurements). But I really like them. They stay on 15lb schnoodle really well. Zipper makes them fairly easy to put on. (So much easier than the ones you have to pull on like a long sock. Those are impossible AND they don't stay). I'm committed to the zipper! The Velcro strap needs to be pretty tight to make them stay... but they do stay on reliably for long walks and snow. They are also pretty cute and the dog seems to be pretty comfortable in them. The soles are think and waterproof. The upper does get wet...needing some dry time. (Never a problem) But haven't experienced the water making it through to the dog.I suppose different dogs may have different foot/ankle shapes that affect fit. But for my dog, this is the best style for ease and reliability. Recommended!

Love these shoes, they're super cute and fit my baby perfectly without flying off when she goes running. I bought two pairs. The inside feels warm enough, however I would not recommend if you live in a area where there is constantly snow/rain. I bought these for her because I was finding cuts on her paws from her playing outside (she plays ruff lol *pun intended 😅*) for that reason they have done their job and protected her feet. However in the snow I find that they don't keep her feet warm and they get wet inside so her feet are wet and cold the whole time we're outside. They protect her paws from the salt that they lay on the roads for the snow which is great. The quality of the shoes are great and it's deffinetly worth the money if you live somewhere that doesn't get snow or rain too often. I will have to find something warmer and more waterproof for her to wear in the snow during the winter.

Finding boots that aren't ridiculously expensive, that I can get on my pup, that she'll tolerate and that stay on is a challenge. These tick all those boxes. They're also adorable. My pup has two different sized paws, bigger in the front. So, we got a size 2 for the front and a size 1 for the back. This works to our advantage, for when one pair gets dirty or if they break, we've a back-up. I hope they don't break, but at this low price, I'll be delighted if they last a month, if not the season. We live in the Northeast by the sea and we've tested these in ice, snow, sand and muddy leaves. Impressively, the boots have stayed on in all circumstances. They're not tough to put on; I love the zipper, because it means I don't have to struggle to stretch a cuff or pull on my pup's dew claw. My little one has lots of hair and these have a lovely addition of fabric under one side of the zipper to ensure I can zip these up without pulling her hair. The velcro is already getting worn, but so far, it still functions. I'll update if that changes. I do periodic boot checks whilst out hiking to verify we've not lost one, but they have stayed on each time, even when my pup trods through heavy muck. The reflective strip is a nice addition. I definitely recommend these. They've been a lifesaver here where salt is poured in mounds out front making it painful for my pup to walk without protection.

True to measurements.Size 1 for my 4.5 lb Shih-poo was a perfect fit!

I measured my dogs feet exactly like they said, and they fit, but the dog still hates them and can get them off just by running.
