Description
Find the right size for your dog:
1. Let your dog stand on a flat surface.
2. Put a piece of paper under one of the front paws.
3. Gently lift the opposite paw so that the paw the being measured lays flat under bearing weight.
4. Mark with a pencil the widest part of the paw on both sides.
5. Now you can easily measure the distance between the two marks with a ruler.
6. Repeat the same steps for one of the hind paws (these are often smaller). If necessary you can also order the Ruffwear Grip Trex in a set of 2.

Ruffwear Grip Trex are simply the first choice
Ruffwear’s Grip Trex™ all-terrain dog boots were developed for really sporty dogs to race over hill and dale, either with their human companions, other play mates or alone. The manufacturer Ruffwear has further improved its earlier models and added a sturdy Vibram grip-sole to the Grip Trex™ dog boots. The breathable mesh surface has become even more durable as well. For snow activities, trekking, jogging with the owner or for competition, these dog shoes are simply the first choice.These dog boots are perfectly drained and extra breathable
The Grip Trex™ are now made from extra strong upper material, which forms a tightly woven “air mesh” protection to prevent ingress of dirt, while it is still extra breathable. In order for the boots to last longer, Ruffwear has now made the lateral gauntlets from one piece and equipped them with reflectors, so that you can follow your best friend well through darkness. Waist and shoe size fit almost all dogs, adjustable Velcro and additional cuffs made from Kew-Tec Synthetic pigskin provide safety and add a tight fitting to the all-terrain dog boot. The boots are machine washable (ideally use a washing bag, cycle gentle, air dry).Measurement guide Ruffwear Grip Trex™ (set of 4):

Service consultation via Chat excellent. All my questions were answered in detail. The shoes are top at first sight, just like their quality. However, in my opinion the shoes are only very good for calm dogs, which do not run like stupid from time to time over the meadow or field. There he loses one quickly and you get, if you notice it, then also dirty shoes. In my opinion, the shoes themselves would hold better if they would go further over the joint. Perhaps this is due to his approx. 1 centimeter long claws, which simply prevent a further slip in. Unfortunately I can't cut it off completely. If you have to tighten the Velcro too much, the shoe stays on, but then it is no longer comfortable for our Aaron and he tries to get rid of it. Size fits perfectly if you follow the instructions. You have to be careful the first time so that you don't hurt the lateral claw.

The quality is top, you can also put on the shoe very well, but....Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
1. without a sock the shoe always slips down, which prevents the dog from running (he often stumbles). So you have to adjust the shoe every 10 minutes :(.
2. the fastener sits directly on the wolf claw. I don't think the dog enjoys it. If the shoe slips down, I have doubts that the wolf claw is hurt.
3. with a sock (also from Ruff Wear) the shoe fits very well, the wolf claw is also protected, but....the sock always slides down and forms wrinkles, which is also uncomfortable when walking.
We only tried the shoes during the short walks (1-1.5 hours). First they landed in the closet and lie there unused. That is really annoying with the price.
Maybe I will find a way to get the shoes non-slip at some point. At the moment we walk barefoot :). (Posted on 12/16/2018) - LabradorReview by Gurke [translated review]

Qualitatively great shoes, shipping and advice top.Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
To help my dog get used to it, I walked only small distances for the first two weeks, which I slowly increased, so that I could always control the fit of the shoes. Until then everything was still great and I was totally thrilled, because my dog ran casually and loosely over gravel roads too. After a somewhat longer distance on horseback it happened and the dew claw rubbed bloodily.
So I tried out the bigger size, because the paws of my dog are different in size (deviation of 2mm). Then I put on the socks in the bigger shoes. I wasn't really satisfied with that either, because the socks on the larger paw keep slipping downwards, no matter how high you pull it. So now I have two pairs of dog shoes at home, which I unfortunately can't use for the actual purpose - riding out together without having to get down every few meters and look after my dog's paws.

The Ruffwear shoes look good to me. They can be fixed by Velcro, which means they are not "socks". We put the shoes on and our Mali walked through the apartment like a stork through a salad :D means we still have a lot of practice to get her used to it. I would have guessed the shoes are a little softer, I'm sure it'll come from wearing them. The price for "dog shoes" is very steep, but I don't think you can get such a quality for less money.

I can't give a final review yet, because we are still in the test phase (both dogs think the booties are very strange, so a slow acclimatization seems appropriate). So far, however:Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
The booties look very well made, I assume that they won't be destroyed so quickly.
The fit is also well thought-out, they will always stay on the paw when walking - I hope even at higher Canicross speeds, but I still have to find out.

Excellent dog shoes - I bought them as protection against sea urchins and sharp-edged stones during my holidays in Croatia.

The shoes are quite expensive, but the expenditure is worthwhile itself. The shoe fits well and cannot get lost. The dog needs some time to get used to the shoes, but then there is nothing in the way of a relaxed walk.

The dog shoes fit well and do not seem to slip. At first I had doubts if the shoes could fall off, but the Velcro fastener gives the whole construction a certain amount of security. By the way, you really have to measure to the millimetre, then it works well with the size determination!

My search for stable dog shoes led me to the company Ruffwear. After the friendly consultation here in the chat these paw shoes were recommended to me. And they are really great! My Aussie accepted it relatively quickly. After the tip of my advisor I accustomed my dog individually to the shoes and it worked super fast and he was not immediately overwhelmed with four shoes at once. I wouldn't have thought of that - thank you! (Posted on 12/1/2015)Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size - Whippet/ Jack Russell MixReview by Pebbles [translated review]

I bought the shoes for my greyhound mix girl. We are daily in the forest biking or with the horse out. She had the cheap shoes from other pet stores that were destroyed within three weeks. Unfortunately, these shoes are only for large strong dogs, or those with large round paws. My girl has very narrow paws due to her breed and almost no difference in width between paw and leg. Unfortunately, these shoes cannot be pulled tight enough and are also too wide for her. I have decided on a little cheaper model of Ruffwear Grip Trex, Summit Trex. I had to seek them too, but altogether they hold better at the narrow leg. Apart from that it is a very great dog shoe that can withstand permanent use.

Overall, the product made a good impression. Although I had already ordered the smallest size, the GripTex fell off the paws again and again. Even the tip with the baby socks didn't help... Too bad!

The workmanship is very good. I had to send the Ruffwear shoes back because the velcro cannot be closed tight enough. The shoe is actually the right size for my dog's paws when it comes to the area of the bales etc.. However, because the shoe only has a single Velcro fastener that has to hold the whole shoe firmly, it cannot be tied tight enough on a narrow ankle cuff. If you try, there is too much stiff fabric in the area that folds, irritates and certainly squeezes and scrapes. (Posted on 7/2/2014)Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
