Ruffwear bases their size chart solely on the paw width measurement. I've been selling these boots long enough to know that occasionally a couple of other measurements come in handy. I am more than happy to exchange your boots (or refund) provided the boots are still in new condition. BUT to make things easiest for you it's best we nail the size the first time. So....
Ruffwear Dog Boots go the extra mile. Often customers tell me often that they tried other dog boots first and the boots fell off, wore out or just plain didn't do the job. Ruffwear are not the cheapest boot on the market... BUT... with Ruffwear you get a super comfy, super durable, well fitting and breathable boot. That's not done on the cheap. Ruffwear Grip Trex Boots are the #1 choice for
That's a HECK of a LOT of DOG BOOTS. You might be quite surprised at the demand for dog boots here in Australia. I know you are on this page for a reason but have you ever seen dogs out and about wearing boots? Maybe not. You might think you are the only one needing them. Not. The. Case!

Ruffwear revolutionized dog boot design when they came out with the Grip Trex Boots featuring an upper inspired by human shoes and a high performance Vibram sole.
The Grip Trex Boot's upper maintains a consistent size, shape, and fit. The wide gusseted mouth ensures the boots are easy to put on, and a velcro strap makes them easy to secure. These boots provide continued comfort and a great fit.
Grip Trex Boots have a closure system combining hook-and-loop with hardware, cinching around the narrowest part of the dog’s leg to provide a secure fit. And the answer to the million dollar question is... Yes! Provided you have the right size these boots stay on.
For the sole Ruffwear partnered with Vibram, the world's leading developer of soles for human active sports shoes, to produce the Grip Trex sole design with omnidirectional treads and traction zones customised to the demanding needs of dogs. This sole is is impenetrable to even the nastiest bindis and grass seeds Australia can muster up.
Worn by Australian Police Dogs, Australian Military Canine Units, all the Guide Dogs in Australia, and working dogs across Australia and the rest of the world, these dog boots are practical no nonsense footwear for active dogs and working dogs alike. They protect the dog's paw pads from broken glass, hot bitumen and concrete footpaths as well as thorns and bindies. They are also very effective in protecting against contact allergies.
But why? Frequently back paws are smaller than front paws. To ensure a proper fit it's important to measure one of your dog's front paws and one back paw. We sell the boots in pairs of 2 to draw attention to this paw size difference and allow for the best fit for all four paws. Not all dogs have front paws which are larger but it's vital to check this before ordering 4 boots of the same size. Never assume paw size is based on your dog's overall size...make sure to measure using the easy directions below.

But as we want to get you the RIGHT size the FIRST time I'm going to give you a couple other measurements that you may find useful if your dog has particularly chunky paws or particularly long paws.

For best results pop the boots onto your dog and launch right into an activity your dog loves indoors. Reward your dog for good work done and do not be surprised to see your dog walking as if moonwalking. Most dogs adjust to boots in no time. Many become very aware at how helpful the boots can be for their issues and will be very happy to put them on. You might want to have your video camera out for the initial trials as it can be quite entertaining to watch.
Ruffwear Bark'n Boot Socks add a lot of value at little expense. Putting the liners on your dog is a snap. And once you have the liners on slipping the paws into the boots is much easier. All the digits of the paw are confined nicely and it's smooth sailing. They also provide comfort for your dog by wicking away moisture from the paw. Your dog sweats from the paw. It's one of the only places a dog perspires. The liners will reduce friction on the paws. You know the feeling when your sockless foot rubs on the inside of a shoe. Better to avoid.
Both the socks & boots can be thrown into the washing machine and will dry pretty quickly so you should be fine with one set of each.
Easy to fit and our 15yr old Standard Schnauzer knows these boots help on his slow morning walks as he lets us touch his feet and put them on (has never liked his feet being touched). He has bulged disks in his lower back that some nerves get pinched on and at times, drags his feet. Before we discovered Waggle he had scuffed one foot worth of claws down to the quicks.
This is the second pair of boots we have purchased so he can wear one set while the others in the wash.
Hey Belinda! Thanks so much for your feedback. I am so happy to hear that your mate is getting such benefit from the boots. That's so great to hear! ❤️ 🙌 I love it when dogs recognise the value of their dog boots and are happy to have their paws touched and their boots put on. It's amazing! Thanks again for taking the time to share. All the very best to your pack there! Zoe
I was the ultimate cynic and was most reluctant to pay for some boots that looked like they'd come off and be lost somewhere in the park. I even chose red ones to make them easier to relocate. My old shepherd drags her back paws. She took to them easily (after wearing some pilates grippie socks for a couple of weeks previously - but totally hopeless at protecting her feet). WELL... these little boots are incredibly well designed. The boots stay on and must be comfy because she is so accepting of them. The toe area is reinforced and is wearing well inspite of her significant dragging. The soles are non-slip. She has become more mobile and even runs short distances after her younger sibling. We were walking in the dark... I thought "gosh are those booties in place???" - Y E S and they have little reflective patches that are beacons at night!
So delighted! So grateful her toes are protected and wondering what colour I should select for a second pair.
Waggle ... you are too clever!!! Thank you Zoe!!!
Bonita, thank you so much! That was so great to read. I couldn't be more pleased that the boots have made such a difference to your furry mate and you. Thanks so much for posting your feedback! 🙌 It means so much to me. As on online business I don't get the opportunity to meet all my customers and their beautiful canines before and after their purhcases so hearing back from you is so rewarding! Thanks more than you know! And all the best to your pack there. ❤️
These boots were first recommended by our vet as our dog is allergic to buffalo grass, and she was not helped by taking medication. We have a Flat Coat Retriever, probably one of the best looking dogs in the world, and when she goes out now she looks even more elegant with her 4 paws enclosed in a non slip set of dog boots. She now has 4 sets in her wardrobe and is quite a DIVA. The Ruffwear Dog Boots protect her from the grass environment, and since we live in Cairns, they also protect her from hot pavements and roads. Cannot recommend them more highly.
Hi ho Bill! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our Ruffwear Dog Boots Grip Trex. 🙌 I'm so glad to hear that they have been helpful in protecting your dog from her allergies and the hot pavement in Cairns. It's also great to hear that she looks even more elegant with them on - what a diva! Thank you for choosing to shop at ⚡️Waggle Canine Adventure Gear ⚡️.
We have been using these boots for our dogs for over 6 years now.
They are brilliant & last for ages.
Our dogs adapted to them quite quickly & they allow us to continue to walk our dogs daily, even though they both have damaged Foot / Toe Tendons.
Without these boots our dogs are very lame & limp badly.
We were told to use these Boots by our Vet.
We highly recommend this product.
Bernard, that is so great to hear! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience. And I am so happy your dogs get so much benefit from the boots. ❤️
Our Great Dane can drag a back paw on his walks and on pavement would file down a nail until it bleeds - these boots have fixed that problem. Great fit and only took a few short walks around the house for him to be used to them. Great quality with a robust make.
Hey Peter! 🙌 Thanks so much for your feedback. So glad to hear your Great Dane is finding relief from his boots! Zoe
