These shoes are extremely good for walking your dog on hot pavement, sidewalks, etc. I also like the fact that they are sold in sets of 2, to allow you to customize the paw size, since most dogs seem to have smaller back paws than their front. I was able to order her a size 6 for the front paws and size 5 for the back paws. My goldendoodle wears them nearly every day throughout the summer. They are also cute on her paws! I get compliments on her shoes every single day! These shoes are also nicely made on the inside so they don’t hurt her paws—no rubbing or sores, and as I said, she wears them nearly every single day on long walks.
