Reddit reviews Colorfulhouse Waterproof Pet Boots for Medium to Large Dogs Labrador Husky Shoes 4 Pcs (Black, 7 (3.1"x2.7"))

I agree with the other comments suggesting Musher's Secret--it's excellent for everyday use in all weather (although I avoid hot pavement/asphalt in that I wouldn't be willing to walk on barefoot myself...while that may be a bit extreme, I prefer to err on the side of caution). I've found the conditioning from Musher's helps prevent my doggos' paw pads from cracking.

However, I do put these bad boys, which have a rubber sole with tread like human shoes, on my doggos for some activities. They always wear them when there is rock salt on the ground, because getting those chunks stuck between paw pads is the most painful thing ever (so they would have you believe). In addition, one of my doggos has skinned his paw pads multiple times by skidding on the gravel ground at the dog park when "braking" to snatch a tennis ball, so now he wears boots there as well.

If you think boots might be helpful for your furry running buddy, I have a few pieces of advice: (1) Measure all 4 paws and buy the appropriate size(s). From experience, boots too big twist around so the sole ends up on top and the dog is running with the fabric part on the bottom. They won't last long that way. (2) Beware the dew claw, make sure the boots don't snag or rub there. (3) Consider boot liners or socks. My other doggo (not the fetch-obsessed one) will only keep her boots on if she wears cushy socks, too. (4) Keep an extra pair on hand because your pup is bound to lose one. (5) Go for a "test drive" and pay extra attention to your doggo the first few times he wears the boots to make sure they're not causing pain or discomfort, are rubbing in the wrong places, etc. (6) The particular boots I've bought are fairly durable for what I paid. I bought 2 pair per dog initially (enough to have backups) and 1 more pair each per year since then. I find the fabric tends to wear through from the nails before the tread on the sole gets completely worn down, but I suppose that will vary according to frequency of use, terrain, etc.

All in all my pups have learned that boots = run/dog park, so they've become very patient when I put them on and generally do not try to take them off (I think the exception for us is when snow gets packed in the top, they really can't stand that). They have approximately zero problems walking, running, jumping, fetching, and playing in their boots. Using the boots under the appropriate circumstances has eliminated the most common sources of paw pad injuries for my pups. I wouldn't use them all the time, though, merely because they are an extra thing to put on/take off/buy frequently, and I'm not sure how prolonged use might affect doggy paws. Hope this helps...happy running!

I use these for my dog. She doesn't love them but she gets used to them.

I second the pawz rubber booties. They work great and stay on my dobie even if he runs around in the fields. That said, they are prone to casualty, even though I keep my pup's nails pretty short and trimmed. I actually just bought this pair for my guy in hopes that they last longer and will work for at least leashed walks during winter. Will have to let you know how they are!
