Salt protection!
We are very regular walkers with our pup - two walks a day, about 30 min upwards to an hour each walk, oftentimes much longer in the nicer weather, but in the winter, shorter 20 - 30 min walks.She is a 60 pound pitbull with sensitive paws, but a beefcake. She's strong and her paws grip the cement.I have tried 4 different boots for her for winter.When I first started buying boots, I did the $80.00 specialty ones I found locally here at a petshop - but you can get them online. They're the Mukluk brand ones. $80, top of the line, I bought the best they had on the shelf, because it's such a crucial part of the day, walking. I rationalized it, paying $80 for something that I'll use genuinely 2 times a day, for a fourth of the year, okay... they've got to work. Why waste $30 for the cheaper ones for them to fall apart or not work?Yes, I convinced myself and rationalized it was totally FINE that I was spending $80+ on dog shoes. Totally FINE. I spent far over $100+ on my hiking boots. She's got feet too! Strong rationalization was with me there.They didn't stay on super well, and she walked pretty precariously tiptoey with them on initially. While walking, she seemed to get used to them and they came off a few times, but I retightened them properly and they seemed to stay put. They were wideset, broad, and large that she was able to walk great on the snow, not so great on the cement, but not terrible. Her paws were protected and first walk was successfully completed. Came back home and I noticed that they rubbed her dewclaw so bad she even had a little blood on her little ankle and paw. I didn't use them for a few days, googled the problem, learned it was somewhat common, and wrapped her dewclaw with some tape as I had read somewhere online on how to prevent that, and it got rid of the irritation - sorta. Those boots sit at a place where the place you secure then is around her leg and securing directly where her dewclaw is. Even with the preventative taping, that's like. I dunno. Wearing a shoe where it rubs and you get blisters... but you put moleskin on so you don't get a blister every day? It's got to be uncomfortable, so I decided that I need to find another pair.Second ones I tried were from Petsmart - the 39.99 winter booties, looked a little more malleable, not so stiff and rigid, and it looked like where it would secure, it was a little farther down, and that they wouldn't wrap around her leg so tightly. These fell off more, but didn't hurt her, so I stayed with these. She wore through the bottoms within about 3-4 weeks and had holes in them. Because they were shorter, they also let in snow and ice to get snowpacked in there which was annoying. They worked alright, but they didn't last and had some design flaws. They were just okay.From here, I legit put kids size calf height socks on her feet, a ziplock sandwich bag, and wrapped duct tape around the bag and up on the sock to secure. No, I'm not kidding.Yes. I am crazy.Probably.If it wasn't 30 below zero, or even if there was no snow, the salt KILLED her paws, she would limp, and genuinely would be miserable. She has pad cream we use and so the health of her paws is okay - it's just that it's like walking barefoot on chemicals and snow and ice. I read on some medical post paw surgery forums (seriously) and got the idea to do this, only they used proper gauze and real tape, and I ghetto-ed it up with duct tape and tried to make it more durable.Also, at this point, I just want to reiterate that she loves being outside. I'm not trying to be a monster. She loves walks, it's her favorite thing in the world, and she needs to potty, but ugh, winter. Walks are her favorite part of the day, and frankly, even if it's cold cold, we can still go out for 15/20 min, get some fresh air, run off some energy and she can go potty.So, yes. I duct taped my dogs paws. It worked! My one college class in sports medicine 10+ years ago where I had to wrap nasty stinky athlete's feet and their ankles finally paid off. I wrapped my dogs foot in a kids sock, sandwich bag, and some duct tape. The process was tedious, wasteful, and stupid though, and took about 10 full minutes of her laying on her side while I put black duct tape (yes, I bought black so it wouldn't look like trashy silver duct tape so I wouldn't look just as crazy as I am in reality, really am.)The duct tape wasn't a permanent solution, like. Come on. I can't duct tape her paws 2x a day and claim to be a normal functioning human. So, I was ready to throw more money and try another pair somewhere. I was looking at some high price ones online on some crazy hunting websites, and just scouring reviews on amazon, I had about 4 bookmarks where I was going through the reviews and pros and cons of 4 pairs, when I stumbled across these balloon ones. I've seen them at petco, and thought why not. $17. Ordered and they came with prime, tried them on.First impressions, they look way too thin to actually protect against anything, and look and feel exactly like a balloon.Well, a thicker balloon, but the idea is that they stretch on. I thought maybe at first glance, they'd be too tight on her ankles, but she honestly didn't seem to mind. Putting them on is the worst part, but like with anything, it gets easier the more you do it. They stretch over, and cover her paw and over her dewclaw. I got the camo ones because she's a tannish/reddish color, so they blend in with her paws a bit more than the primary colors. I didn't want bright purple ones.It gets to be negative double digits where I live; hardcore ice and snow and salt, and she didn't wince or seem to mind at all ONE bit with these on. I let her gallop off leash in a snowy field regularly. Because they are tight around her legs, they don't come off, and no snow gets packed in there and no ice melt gets on her paws. I don't know how such a presumably thin piece of rubber makes her elated and immune from the snow and cold - but they do. They really work.Durability is great as well. I ordered these in December, and it's nearing end of January. Still on my first 4 (and 12 come in the package) pair, 6 weeks in.BUY THEM.

These WORK
I have a miniature Boston terrier who loves to run in the mud. I have tried multiple boots and they always slide off or the dog isn't comfortable in them. I used these today as soon as they were delivered. Let me tell you how happy I am to have found something that actually works. She got used to them in about 2 minutes. Ran around the yard doing zoomies and basically sending muddy turf flying. These never slipped off, she never tried to take them off, and there were no holes in them when she was done. They seem to actually be reusable as stated. The size chart seems pretty correct as well. The only thing I recommend if you buy these, is buy the jawz tool. I don't have it yet but I already ordered it. These are not the easiest to put on by yourself. However if the tool works as well as these booties, I think we have a winning combo that could really help.

These are balloons
Very difficult to put on. They feel and look like balloons! I returned them.

These are the only dog boots that stay on and can be used in all types of weather.

Avoid Camo color - it rips!
I have been using red and black Pawz boots for years (size S) and normally each boot lasts for at least a month often longer unless we go hiking on gravel or rocks.New Camo color is made from a blend of colors and 70% to 90% of the boots have bubbles or blisters on them. Those blisters are thinner than normal and so they RIP ON THE FIRST OR SECOND WALK ON A REGULAR PAVED STREET OR EVEN ON GRASS.By the time I realized that all boots were defective and not just a few, return window closed.I wish the seller would exchange my 4 (!) Camo boxes for a solid color because this is obviously a manufacturing defect.UPDATE: talked to the seller and they replaced my 4 boxes of Camo color with tried and true Red. Great customer service 👍

Packages already opened and packing taped back up
I have to say, these will work in an emergency till you can get to your pet shop and get better ones. I ordered the XL for my Golden Pup to make it easy to get the boots on and off for short trips outside my condo to use the bathroom due to they have a zero ice tolerance policy and really salt everything. The package arrived in a timely way and the items were already opened and just taped shut. I only opened one of the two re taped packs and its missing a boot. So, instead of getting 12 boots, I got 11. I didn't even bother opening the other package yet. It might be missing pieces too. However, for the price and the times I don't do long walks and need to take my dog out to use the bathroom they work fine. I can stretch them out and without struggle pop them on my dogs feet, take her out and back without a hitch. They seem bigger than the XL you get the stores as well or maybe just more flexible. I have not done a side by side comparison yet. I will update this when and if I do. I use the large pawz boots for my goldens feet for longer walks. These camo XL boots also tend to come off my dogs pawz easier vs the store bought ones that are XL green, but no complaints there unless your intention is long walks..they might flip off. I wanted something to pop on, stay on enough to use the bathroom, and go back in. The smaller the pawz boots as recommended for her size, the more I struggle of getting them on and off while making your furry friend upset as they hate to put on any boots in the first place. Especially with long hair and dew claws. They do protect my dogs paw pads from the salt flats outside my building which is great. I just wish I didn't receive 2 packs XL Pawz of what feels to be possible used returned packs with missing items.On the side to other customers of Pawz boots. Please If you take your dog out using the boots, take them off when you get back in. I hear horror stories of people leaving the boots on their dogs all day long and having swelling and pain in the dogs foot. Its meant to be like a shoe, you put them on and go for a walk, when you come back in take them off. That is why I buy a one size bigger size as well. To make it easier for the times I want a quick out and in without the struggles of trying to fit the paws perfectly in the boot. Yeah shes got a bit of toe space hanging there, but its never been an issue and I am in and out and done in 10 min. If you have to do this several times a day, you would be glad to have an easier time. I have tried plastic bags and rubber bands with socks, all kinds of dog boots that go flying off or lost in snow drifts. Even mushers secret, nothing fights off the salt around my complex and stays on my dogs feet like the pawz boots.

Must have
It took a while but my Yorkie likes these now. If she happens to lose one, she raises her paw and doesn't move until you replace it... can't go a winter without these.
