Our dogs are our everyday companions, joining us on frosty morning walks, snowy mountain missions, and hot summer hikes. Yet some of these adventures might pose challenges to paws – from snowmelt chemicals and frozen trails to hot surfaces and varied terrain. For those seeking paw protection from the elements, Ruffwear offers three styles of dog boots – the Grip Trex™, Polar Trex™, and Hi & Light™ Trail Shoes.
All of Ruffwear’s dog boots and shoes are available in eight sizes and in sets of two. Many pups have wider front paws than rear paws. With sets of two, you can order the appropriate sizes for a good fit on both the front and rear paws. We offer boots in the following sizes:
1.50 in (38 mm)
1.75 in (44 mm)
2.00 in (51 mm)
2.25 in (57 mm)
2.50 in (64 mm)
2.75 in (70 mm)
3.00 in (76 mm)
3.25 in (83 mm)

Each dog boot and shoe is designed with features geared toward assisting in different environments. Here, we’ve broken down these key features to help make choosing the best boot for your activity a snap.

Hi & Light™ Dog Shoes
- Lightweight and flexible paw wear
- Grippy rubber sole
- Great for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, and hot surfaces
The Hi & Light™ Trail Shoes elevates the paw wear experience for dogs (and their humans) seeking a minimal and flexible solution to paw protection. Those paws get both protection and exceptional ground-feel with the soft, flexible rubber outsole.
The engineered knit upper adds comfort and breathability and limits trail debris from getting in the shoe. The hook-and-loop closure opens wide for easy on and cinches around the narrowest part of the dog’s leg to provide a secure fit
