Package inludes: One set dog boots - 4PCS Review: Not slip proof or water proof - After reading all the reviews, I was hoping these would be the best boots for my six month Australian Shepherd, who weighs 40 lbs. I measured his feet as indicated in the description, full weight standing up, and the size chart indicated size 7. My dog has larger front paws, so I chose the size that fit them best. He is used to wearing Pawz but I want something sturdier and more protective. I also keep his nails short and filed. We followed the instructions and he was comfortable running around inside the home with the boots on, however the front two did come off. We folded over the fabric front and tightened the Velcro. We were concerned that the Velcro sits just above his dew claw. My other dog, a mini doodle, has Muttluks. We took the dogs for a walk and the Aussie was slipping and sliding in all the snow covered areas! This is not ideal for a young dog whose leg plates are still developing! We stuck to the salted sidewalks and could hear the heavy footsteps of the rubber soles the entire way. Despite tightening the front boots, they still slide down and we had to adjust them again tightening over the dew claw. There is a surplus of fabric at the top of the foot despite it being pulled snug around the ankle. When we got home, the shoes were wet and his feet damp. While the shoes appear well made, the sizing is off , they are not slip proof or water proof as indicated. Customer service contacted me over my concerns and voluntarily offered to replace the boots with a different size. I am very impressed with their quick response and support. While they have no control over my dog’s dew claws placement, they did suggest putting a bandage around them to prevent any discomfort. These are a quality dog boot and hope the sizing issue can be resolved. Will update once new boots arrive. Update: we went down a size and they fit much better on the front paws. However, the Velcro placement is right at the dew claw level, making it difficult to tighten without causing limping. The boots are well made unfortunately they are not suitable for my dog. Review: Helps my dog to stop walking on his knuckles and enjoy a wonderful life again. - My older dog has gotten a neurological disorder as of late, which causes his brain to not know the placement of his hind right leg. As a result he can't / doesn't know how to walk on his paws and instead plants his leg on the closed paw (like a closed fist) or knuckle. Back in July, I noticed blood from his toes, as it turned out, he was dragging his toes and filing down his toe nail to the quick, thus causing the bleed. Originally got the shoes to protect his toes and let the toenail grow out. One side benefit was the shoe kept the foot position in the proper poster. But as the disorder worsen, he is dragging this toes sometime now. About QUMY, the first order was too large, even after measuring them like QUMY suggested. QUMY customer was superb, they send out a new smaller size to us after I contacted them. Excellent customer service, can't thank them enough. About the shoes, the two straps of velcro on each shoes was nice touch which made adjustments easy, and one of them had reflectors on them. We do lots of night walks so appreciate the extra visibility it gives. Walking on wet grass just gets the canvas shell wet, and so is the outer fur underneath the canvas, so not waterproof at all. But I knew that going into the purchase, so no surprise there, and met my expectation. The rubber sole is extra soft, and wore down too quickly. Out everyday walks is about a mile in length, the patterns on the bottom of the shoe was almost gone in about 2.5 weeks. The tread pattern was not deep, about 2 millimeters thick. But we only use two shoes (hind legs) at a time, so I expect the 4-shoes to last us about 3-6 months. The teeth side of the velcro is located on the shoe, while the loop side is on the straps. We found that with the teeth side on the shoe, it picks up lots of dog hairs, dried grass clipping, and everything else that can be gathered by the teeth. Once the teeth are full, the loop straps will have a difficult time adhering to them, so it does requires cleaning of the teeth side of the velcro with a hard brush. I did throw it in the washing machine once to clean up the shoes; came out clean, but the velcro will stick to other garments, FYI. Try putting them in a small pillow case or fabric bag first before machine wash. Tips: I tried putting the shoes in the house before heading out, but found it a bit counter productive, if you have carpet runners in the house. The velco on the shoes (not the straps) can get snag on the carpet and hold the shoes, leaving your dog shoeless until you realizes that it was snagged by the carpet. So how, I take him outside and then put on the shoes. I bought an additional pair in anticipation that this pair will disintegrate soon. The shoe has shown a lot of wear and tear on them already, but has served its purpose of protecting the toe nails and preventing more damage to knuckles of the feet. The vet says that it is really hard to heal the knuckles if they were to bleed, due to constant movement. Preventative medicine. After six months, my dog is using a doggie wheel chair now, and he's actually doing short runs with the shoes on too. Toe nails and knuckles are still in great shape. He's a much happier dog now, able to roam the neighborhood once more. So am I, and ready to acquire a second pair soon. Thanks QUMY, – and by the way, can you make a thicker rubber sole too.
