Review on RUFFWEAR Grip Trex: High-performance Dog Boots for Hiking and Running by Kristen Davis

I have Malinois Shepard Belgian Blend; 6.5 months. She has dew fingers. I took off a star because they don't do these boots very well for German shepherds or wolf claw dogs. Here's how to tweak your dew toe boots. Okay I went and bought her baby socks for babies! For her front paws I am a "double toe". 1. Make sure your dog's nails are trimmed and filed (especially dew toes). If the dew toes are long and sharp, they can cut into your dog's side paw as he runs or walks in his boots. I cut it and then file it smooth; So if you rub it, there will be no irritation. 2. Pull the socks over the front paws twice, making sure the toes of the dew are tucked neatly into the sock and shoes. This will soften her paws and toes in her shoes. my leia She is 3" tall and wears size 4-5 toddler socks. Now she runs with me from 5 to 7 miles. We started training one mile at a time and gradually increased it. I don't think she can walk without boots, they definitely protect her paws from long runs and I'm glad I have a dog to be my running partner. It has been about 3 months and they are starting to vibrate holes at the bottom of the soles so they are definitely not as good as running shoes/shoes/boots for humans; I think I have to replace them every 3-4 months which is another disadvantage for a super sport dog.
