Product Information

Full details

The Ruffwear Ridgeline™ Shoes are designed for active dogs who need reliable paw protection on rugged trails and scorching surfaces without sacrificing natural movement. These high-performance boots utilize an engineered knit construction to provide a precise, breathable fit that mimics the anatomy of a dog's paw. While they offer exceptional comfort and protection, pet owners should be aware that they are sold in sets of two to account for the common size difference between a dog's front and back paws, requiring careful measurement of each set.

FAQs

Why are these sold in sets of two?

Many dogs have larger front paws than back paws. Selling in sets of two allows you to purchase the correct size for each pair of paws independently.

Are these waterproof?

The Ridgeline™ Shoes are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. They are intended for dry, rugged terrain and hot surfaces.

Can my dog wear these all day?

While they are comfortable, it is recommended to remove them periodically during multi-day trips to let the paws air out and to check for any signs of irritation.

How do I measure my dog's paw correctly?

Have your dog stand on a flat surface and measure the width of the paw at its widest point. Compare this measurement to the Ruffwear sizing chart.

Can these be washed in a machine?

No, they should be hand washed with mild soap and air-dried.

Troubleshooting

The shoes keep slipping off.

Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is tightened securely around the narrowest part of the dog's lower leg, just above the paw.

Dog is having trouble walking initially.

Allow the dog to wear the shoes inside for short periods to get used to the sensation of having their paws covered.

Reflective detailing for improved low-light visibility

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, measure the width of your dog's paws at their widest point while they are standing. Because many dogs have wider front paws than back paws, Ruffwear sells these in sets of two to allow for a custom, secure fit. When putting them on, fully open the hook-and-loop closure, slide the paw in until it touches the front, and tighten the strap snugly around the ankle area.

Care instructions include hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the knit and the integrity of the rubber outsole. Do not use bleach or iron the shoes.
