Review on 🐾 Muttluks Original Fleece-Lined Dog Boots: Warm Cozy Socks for Dogs, Puppies - Stretchy Adjustable Pet Booties with Leather Soles & Reflective Straps - Itty Bitty to XXL Sizes - 4 Pack! by Alicia Jones

These boots are great. The design is perfect. I tried hard soled shoes for my dog as that was the only option I saw but when I found these I decided I would give them a try. They don't have a hard sole, it's more like a small dog paw pouch with a leather bottom. This allows your foot to bend more easily when you run, increasing comfort. I bought these to put on my dog in the winter when people are sprinkling rock salt on the sidewalk. Depending on how well they did, I plan on catching some hot asphalt boots as well. I love that they have both a Velcro strap and a nylon toe cap. The Velcro strap is perfect for dogs with dewclaws, it wraps around the leg between the pad of the paw and the dewclaw. This prevents the dew claw from rubbing, but the boot still holds up well. Please note that you really need to tighten the velcro. If you think it's going to be too tight, it probably is perfect. I tried leaving them a little looser on my dog and they fell off as soon as she started walking. I pulled them tighter and they continued off leash for a two hour walk. A nylon sockliner is helpful in the winter to keep snow from accumulating under my dog's paw and helps keep the shoe in place. I treated the leather soles of these boots with mink oil to strengthen them. They are also the most escape proof boots I have found. Boots of all kinds make my dog itch so she tries to get them off asap. I wasn't expecting much from these boots as they were only held in place by velcro and a sock tube but she couldn't take them off. When the velcro was completely flat he couldn't reach the end and tugged to loosen it. This was a big surprise because it was the same dog that had learned to unzip.
