1.0 out of 5 stars. Didn't Stay OnVerified Buyer Reviewed by GSP MOM from Minnesota on Thursday, January 10, 2019I had high hopes for these boots but they didn't last more than 30 seconds on my dog. I have a GSP and they just didn't cut it. She was out of them before I could get my own boots on. They are well constructed, just won't stay on. I had even put these on tighter than I normally would hoping they would work but no luck. These will be returned.

2.0 out of 5 stars. Good Quality, doesn't work for tiny dogsVerified Buyer Reviewed by jmb2019 from Minnesota on Monday, December 31, 2018Love the durability and protection from the cold outdoors/salt. However, in the smallest size these did not stay on. Only walked in the house and within 30 seconds she had them off from just walking. They were as tight as they would go. Bummed because they look like they would certainly do the trick!

2.0 out of 5 stars. Irish wolfhound ownerVerified Buyer Reviewed by Jo from Ohio on Monday, October 22, 2018I bought these boots hoping they would work for my 188# wolfhound. He is very tall and his paws are long. He measured 3” in width and the boot “fits” but just flops right off when he walks. I was hoping it would be taller to go over his hock for more stability, not so. The boot itself looks quality made and durable, never got a chance to see.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Good TractionVerified Buyer Reviewed by Alli-MT from Montana on Saturday, February 10, 2018I'm using these boots on my old GSD's hind feet. They run a little large, FYI, but come a good way up her leg for extra coverage and protection. The soles make a noticeable difference in keeping her upright when sidewalks turn to ice rinks.

2.0 out of 5 stars. Wanted to love these...Verified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Vermont on Tuesday, January 10, 2017Order two sizes, just to be sure - the smaller size fit perfectly and stayed on as long as Skittle did his 'I am a dog and don't want to wear shoes' dance in the house. As soon as we went outside - they came right off. I had read that short-haired dogs would have better luck keeping boots on with sock liners, so we tried that. No dice. The socks came up a bit past the top of the boots, so I was concerned that the socks would get snowy/wet, so I added a bit of vet wrap to cover the top of the boots and go up past the socks - hoped this would help keep the boots on, and it did. But it really only worked effectively when I wrapped the vet wrap up past his knees. Not sure this is much of a solution. These are headed back and the search continues.

2.0 out of 5 stars. Newer isn't betterVerified Buyer Reviewed by Swiss Miss Molly Brown from Colorado on Tuesday, December 27, 2016We've used this brand before and have had a great experience, but this new model just doesn't cut it for a high active pup. The high cut is a great advancement but the plastic locking buckle is the killer, it doesn't stay locked and the boots end up flying off while the dog is running. This happened on all 4 boots. Back to hook & loop (Velcro), it's proven, it works. These may work for a nice strolll, but not for running.
