I have used Lewis dog boots this entire pheasant hunting season and have been very pleased. My dog had paw injuries the last 2 years that required surgery for removal of foreign bodies and ended our seasons early. This year no problems. She runs well with them on and lets me put them on readily. Very pleased. Put them on just as demonstrated in the video and they will stay on. Only time I lost a boot was in the snow due to the wetness. Might benefit from an extra layer of tape if hunting in snow.

With a proper under-tape, boot, then over-tape the Lewis boot will stay on your hunting dogs foot. This can’t be said for really any other commercial boot I’ve tried. Tough and fairly cheap this boot checks all the boxes. If hunting in snow frequently, choose the unvented boot because the vented boot will pack up with snow pretty fast. The boot’s traction can be an small issue on certain wet/hard/icy surfaces.

did the job of protecting an injured pad

Unfortunately, it was to small for her foot.

This isn't a completely thorough review, I've only hunted with these on 4 occasions. I originally purchased to protect against sharp basalt while chukar hunting, they do provide good protection, but they're a pain to get on, hard to keep material out of them, and dog has significantly less traction while wearing them.

I Hunt Pheasants every weekend (October to April).
During this season, my Dog had cuts on both back feet.
I wanted to protect them with Boots.

I tried a competitors Boots which only stayed on for 10-15 minutes.

The Lewis Dog Boots WILL NOT come off while Hunting.
They have protected my Dog during the entire season.

I was hopeful these boots were the answer but they do not work for my pup. He is a Great Dane/ Pit mix and has HUGE feet with large toes and claws. The boots are difficult to get on due to the size and shape of his feet and they do not stay up when he walks. A great concept and quality construction, but not right for us.

By being able to order individual boots in the correct size is the way to go. I have previously purchased full sets of small and large boots thinking they would suffice. But when I used the instructions and actually measured my Brittany's front paws. I found out he needed the medium size. Now I don't have to cut them to get the foot in, or watch him flop around with boots that don't fit.
Measure before you order. Then you don't have spare boots that don't fit.
We're upland bird hunters.

I use these boots for an old dog who is losing mobility and requires boots to protect his feet from dragging. I really like the fit, the molded design works much better than standard tube sock style dog booties. The rubber is thin, which I solved by having the shoe repair shop put an extra sole onto the bottom.

Only boot that has stayed on my dog after she ran a race!

I have had Siberians for 40 years. I have been unable to put these boots on most of them, but my current dog allows it. I use boots in the snow to prevent ice balls. I may use them in the summer in hot sand and rocks and cactus. The Lewis boots stay on better, and are more durable than any other boot that I have tried. And I have tried many! The only minus is that they are harder to put on and remove. Dewclaws are less of an issue with these boots than with many. The front boots are still a bit tricky with the carpal pad and dewclaws. The boots still tend to creep forward, but at least they rarely come all the way off. Siberian legs and paws are not shaped quite like hound legs and paws. I like Vetrap and wide first aid tape better than duct tape. I would suggest watching the excellent video on this site.

I'm sure people that use this boot love it if they hunt a couple of hours per day. It is not for the dog that works 8-10 hours at a time. He gets hot spots in the tops of his toes and on his legs where the boot rubs. It seems to just transfer the hot spots and raw spots from the bottom of his feet to a different spot on the top of his feet and legs.

My dog lost 2 toes in a snare 2 years ago. Used her pheasant hunting last year. Was three legging it after 2 days with another boot. She hunted 4 days with little to no discomfort this year. Very pleased with this product.

Boots didnt fit. XL fit back paws. Too small for front. 2X were way too big on front paws.

They work pretty well. Had to trim the back a little because they rubbed on the carpal pad. Also be careful not to get them too tight. Really saved on the feet while hunting in some poor conditions!

The video for these boots was excellent. Just follow what it shows and these boots work great. I just used one on an injured front paw. I took her out to chase pheasants. Ran for two hours and the boot stayed put and protected the foot.

I hunt in Oklahoma, and we have a lot of sand burrs. These boots are the best. I have been hunting quail for over 50 years.
