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).

After my dachshund in the Swiss mountains regularly freezes its paw pads in strong sub-zero temperatures, I have now decided in favour of dog shoes.Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
At Ruffwear I found what I was looking for with the small size. But for the hind legs my dachshund also needs the socks so that the shoes really fit tightly (here it would be good if the shoes would be one size smaller). My dachshund lady is not very enthusiastic about the shoes so far. She simply refused the first walks and didn't move from the stain until the shoes were off (she can't take them off herself thanks to the cuffs, not even after several attempts). Even after 30 minutes walking in the snow the paws are still dry and warm, the shoes fit well. But my dachshund still bends very often and runs less. She remains little convinced of the shoes. In case of an emergency (at -20°C), however, they fulfil their purpose, the dog can go for longer walks without snow lumps and frozen balls of foot in the snow. Whether they are suitable for cross-country skiing, if the dachshund has to run a little faster, we still have to find out. (Posted on 1/31/2019) - DobermanReview by Oliver [translated review]

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. (Posted on 1/28/2019)Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size - WhippetReview by Andrea [translated review]

The shoes are very well thought out, cleanly processed, made of high-quality material and functional.Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
In our case, it would have been a good idea if they were slightly higher on the leg and the Velcro fastener was not at the level of the wolf's claw or was made of a softer, elastic band. (Posted on 12/22/2018) - WhippetReview by Andrea [translated review]

Product very good, maybe the gaiter could be longer to improve the fit, but I will still buy socks, because I bought the shoes for my dog due to osteoarthritis in the toes and therefore warmth is important. But I recommended the product during our round walk, because the design is really great.

Still trying on the boots. The front two (L) fit very well. The rear two (XS) are kind of tight, although we measured the paws correctly. (??) (Posted on 1/5/2018)Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size - LabradorReview by Heidrun Sonnabend [translated review]

The boots fit great with socks underneath and stay where they belong. Even if my dog wasn't enthusiastic about the shoes at first, as soon as it gets interesting outside, everything is ok. I just hope they keep the price for a reasonable time. The advice and service in the shop were great.

Good fit, does not slip even when playing or running. I bought the shoes as protection for an injured toe and after one week the toe was fine again. Used daily and no signs of abrasion, but a proud price if you consider how often you need such shoes.

Top boots, well to put on and an absolute eye-catcher. Several people have already approached us, and we had to recommend them immediately. The boots were supposed to protect against injuries and for the winter (salt). My Buddy's pretty sensitive about his paws.

We have already tried some shoes, but no shoes have fulfilled what was promised. In addition, the Staffords have the wolf's claw far down. With each shoe a sore wolf's claw was then added, because the closures lie exactly on top.Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size
I can only recommend Polar Trex! Perfect fit, no pressure points and especially recommended for dogs with sensitive paws! (Posted on 3/19/2017) - VizslaReview by Emi

Great snow boots, stayed on despite the continuous romping in deep snow. The back feet are smaller so would have been nice to be able to order a pair in a different size. Nonetheless, just need to tighten the velcro strap and they stay in place. Would recommend for extended walks in snow.

Good dog boots, I think they are higher than other models. They are waterproof, I can confirm that.

I bought the shoes for a customer with a 14 year old dog and we are very satisfied. They give Jimmy a good grip and he doesn't slip on snow anymore. The price, which seems a bit high at the beginning, is definitely worth it. The dog and his owner are very satisfied. And so do I, because the well-being of my customers is very important to me. A tip: Please measure very accurately! (Posted on 12/20/2015)Functionality Product quality Price/Performance Size - Great Dane MixReview by Barbara [translated review]

The vet advised me to Ruffwear shoes. One paw was to be operated and so I was able to perfectly support and stabilize this paw afterwards. The boots should also be waterproof. After a detailed consultation in the live chat these boots were recommended to me to cover all these requirements. Great!
