Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

I had great aspirations for this product after using the Ruff Wear boots and Palisades harness/saddle bags with great success. But, during the first use I had many issues with the buckle design. Come to find out, when the main strap gets wet the teeth of the buckle lose all tension on the strap. This caused the boots to come off in deeper snow. The new tread design works much better on solid sheets of ice though.

These boots would be a success if the strap was re-designed, maybe with velcro to help retention in wet conditions.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

Very disappointing with this boot they just will not stay on. We tightened them once already on both dogs and had finally decided to take them off after a matter of minutes. Before we had the chance to take them off one dog ran off came back a few minutes later missing all 4 boots. The design of the cam strap just won't work. Perhaps it will need to be replaced with a Velcro strap?
We have used the Grip Trex with our 2 dogs for the past 5 years and would loose 2 or 3 shoes per year rather expensive but we will live with this boot design until a better solution is developed

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

I had high hopes for these boots. With the buckle just above the pads and pull cord at the ankle I thought they would stay on better than other boots we have tried. The buckle did not stay once it got cold and wet and the pull cord did not keep the boots up. They ended up slipping off within minutes. We tried putting the boots back on several times tightening the boots tighter each time but they won't stay on. If there was a third stap in between or there was one strap that wound around from above the pad to the ankle they may stay on. We returned them immediately and will keep looking for a boot that will stay on.

Best Uses

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

Had high hopes for these considering how much I love their other boots, but they just fall off! In long snow expeditions where paw ice-balls can build up, our dog usually wears the regular RuffWear boots, but sometimes ice can develop in the velco so we thought we'd try these. Unfortunately, the design just doesn't work. The main strap comes undone no matter how many ways your try to secure it. We're going to have to return three shoes instead of four.

This is a good idea but poorly designed. I was unable to keep the boots on my dog no matter what I did. I tried using the ruffwear socks and even vet-wrap but the boots continued to come off.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

I had very high hopes for these boots. I bought these with the intent to use in deep snow so "Lucy" could tag along snowshoeing with out experiencing the uncomfortable snowballs that form in her paws constantly. We tried these on at home and she kicked them off in a matter of seconds. Adjusted the boots tighter - and the same thing happened. She even took a trip to the store to try on a smaller size - and yet again the buckles just didn't hold. Ended up finally exchanging these for the regular Ruff Wear boots.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

We originally purchased the large size for my lab, but found those to be too big. We exchanged for medium, which we thought fit perfectly. The sole fit, the upper fit - we locked and loaded. These do NOT stay on. I adjusted, readjusted, bought the socks, these do not stay on. It has to do with the midline of the boot. There is a buckle that fastens above the dog's pads and then a bungee that tightens above the "ankle" Then there is the big gap in the middle between them that gapes and bags and works it's way back down until your dog is walking on the fabric and they are half way off. I love my Ruff Wear Bark n' Boots Skyliner. They fit great and stay on all day, but wanted something a little tougher for serious snow. You would think paying so much would mean a good shoe, but it's not the case here.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

Bruno looked pretty funny trying these for the first time. I had high hopes that they would improve his snow and mountain biking ability, but the don't stay on. Here is funny video of his first use:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwcYuSQcFFE&context=C325b7a6ADOEgsToPDskLwnGEZw3UjgoYwscPFWjuSThat car is not ours by the way. He is just really embarrassed and wants out of there. As soon as the video was done he shook them off, and never wore them again.

Poor design

Best Uses

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Bark 'N Boot Polar Trex Winter Dog Boots:

We bought these and the Grip Trex boots to try out for our dog, because we wanted to take her snowshoeing with us. These boots don't stay on. Not because our dog fights them, but because they're poorly designed. The buckle and bungee don't hold tight enough-- they'd probably do better with some velcro. Really disappointing to return them, but all 4 came off within about 5 minutes of walking-- before we'd even gotten to the snow!

Better luck next time, Ruffwear.
