Due to manufacturing techniques, the rubber coating on the bootie may have some irregularities in places (e.g., small pinhole-like spots or other unevenness). The soft surface rubber also wears with use: for example, gravel, sharp ice, sticks, etc. can cause wrinkles on the surface. These do not prevent the bootie from being used: the bootie's lifespan can be extended by turning the more worn side to the top of the paw. Lightweight so-called sled dog booties are always consumable items, so we recommend also having spare booties ready. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe method of applying the rubber coating shrinks the bootie, so booties from the factory may not be exactly the same size.

Divide this measurement by two and compare it to the bootie's width. In borderline cases, choose a bootie that is rather too loose than too tight (the dog's paw needs room to expand when stepping). If your dog has a significant size difference between front and back paws, it is advisable to get two sets of different sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and color code update 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer updated the model and sizes in 2024.
