Best option out there
September 7, 2020
These are the best dog boots I have used. They hold up better than any of the fabric and Velcro boots I have used, and stay on better when put on with the sticky side out duct tape on the leg with another piece wrapped around (watch the video on the product page). They are lighter and more pliable than they look in the photos.
Pros
  • Durable. Stay on.
Cons
  • Can rub on the tops of the feet and legs after a lot of miles.

Require a little patience and finesse to put on. The dog seems to tolerate them fairly well. Are durable and stay on. Lost one boot in deep snow and cattails last December. I may not have gotten it on correctly. The other one stayed on all day.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Stay on well
  • Dog tolerates
Cons
  • A little difficult to put on

I’ve gotten so many comments and requests on these booties! I take my dog hiking with them and they’re super easy to get on/off, durable, easy to clean, and my dog loves them! As long as they are fitted and on properly, they’ll last for miles!

Great fit and instructional video for putting boots on. Dog got used to them within 5 minutes. We have had trainings with boots on, but not hunted a full day yet. Looking forward to seeing how she does.

The only boot that I have found that works in the AZ desert. We hunt on a lot of rock covered ground. They save his pads but are a little tough on the skin from rubbing. I have tried various methods to prevent this including baby socks and various athletic tapes.

Maybe I didn't put them on correctly, but out of three dogs I lost 8 boots before the morning was out. I wish there were some boots that came up higher on the leg that attach to more surface.

I hunt in pretty heavy brush, and I couldn't get them to stay on my dogs feet. However, I can't find a boot that will stay on my dogs feet for any length of time.

These boots really make the difference in rocky terrain or areas that have sand burrs. I can hunt my setters for multiple days using the Lewis boots. They take a little while to put on, but they are worth It!

This is my 3rd set. My bird dogs run hard in the desert and a cut pad will really lay a dog out. Cut knuckles from grass in Montana is tough on a dog too. These boots prevent these injuries from happening. Burrs and cactus almost bounce off these boots. They're great! I love them!

I have tried several different styles of boots and have been disappointed with all of them. These boots are incredible, easy to put on, and easy to get off. They do everything that the fancy ones with all the buckles, straps, Velcro, and zippers will do. I have finally found dog boots that are user friendly and effective.

The boots are much better than any of the others we tried. My dog has a hip issue, so she drags her back toes when I walk her. I would love to get the XXL though. She needs socks and is a tight fit.

The first 5 minutes were a little comical w/ dog high stepping like a Clydesdale, then it went great. Didn't even do vet tape underneath and had no rub spots. No more trips to vet after grass seeds and thorns cause infected toes.

These are the only boots you should consider. Be sure to tape down the rear flap first (contrary to the video), so that if your dog wears through the tape at the front, the boot will flap off and still be secured to the leg. This tip was from ol' man Lewis himself, and has saved me a lost boot or two. Also, I have started using Gorilla brand duct tape. It is very thick, and stays stuck.

Only problem with these boots is putting them on right following directions to wash before use and attaching boot to dog one tab at a time. After proper attachment excellent boot and few are lost.

This is the first pair of boots purchased for my Brit. After researching many styles, I was concerned the velcro type attachments would result in a thrown (lost) boot in the middle of a long hunt. I also wanted a tough boot to withstand the sand burrs found in West Texas. Watching Steve's video on how to properly fit and attach the Lewis rubber boot was helpful, but it does take some practice and patience for both you and your dog. After several training sessions and a few hunts, these boots have proven to be solid and reliable and should last several seasons.

While I haven't used these on my dog, yet my good friend regularly uses them on his two dogs in sand burr-infested central Oklahoma. They work great, and the dogs can run all day without loading their paws up with stickers.

My two brittany's wore these for a long hard day and a half in the canyon lands of eastern Oregon. I followed instructions for how to secure to dogs feet without cutting off circulation. At the end of the day they both had worn off fur and skin at the top of the boots. Next time I will use medical tape on the legs to act as a sock of sorts to rub points won't be as severe. Also, make sure to trim for proper height as the dogs feet will slide a lot and top of boot impacts the stopper at the rear of front leg. This will cause a wound. Otherwise, these are great boots and wear really well. They protect from dog pad wear as advertised.

Great boots. I have found using athletic tape and flipping down back flap to run a couple rounds to dogs leg, then let flap up and complete taping works best for these boots staying on. If wet, I might finish w/ 1 loop of electrical or duct tape also.

I have purchased bird dog and hunting supplies from GDS over the past twenty years. Previously, I bought from Dunn's Supply. Great products and support from GDS. On to the Lewis Boots. They are made in Enid, OK, just 50 miles from where I live. I have used the Lewis and other boots for the past 40- 50 years. Lewis boots are the best I have ever used. They are tough and there are few thorns that will penetrate them. I have tried many types of boots. The cordura boots are pretty easy to install. The one knock on them is that they wear out quickly (dependent on terrain), and the dogs will lose a boot even if you tape them. Also the cordura is more likely to allow thorn penetration than the Lewis boots, which are made of tire grade rubber. For me, the Lewis boots have held up from Western Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona and several other places. Equally important is to properly size and install the boot. I found the Lewis sizing guide to be very reliable. It is important to keep the dogs nails reasonably trimmed. A Dremel tool with a sanding drum is a great way to do this. Over the years I have tried many installation methods. One common problem has been in applying the base coat of tape on the dog's skin/hair. I have used many different types of tape, both surgical and athletic. When you remove the boot after a day's hunt, the tape is pretty dirty and finding the tape's end can be a challenge. The tape can be a real hassle to remove. The dog does not enjoy loosing hair and hide any more than I do removing it. There is an alternative provided by Steve Snell that uses duct tape. There is a short instruction tape on the Lewis boot page you should watch. I had not thought of applying the base layer of tape like Steve does. I have used his method several times, and it is perfect. No lost boots and the best protection available. Plus removing the boots is not painful and is a very easy and fast process. I use a bandage scissor a surgeon friend suggested that makes tape removal a breeze and is less susceptible to skin puncture. This scissor has a 'safety tip'. Well, enough of my rambling. Good luck and good hunting.

I don't think this is a poorly designed or inferior product. My dog refused to walk with these on. She seemed stressed when wearing them and laid there and chewed on the duct tape required to keep them on her feet. I tried walking her with them on, and after serious coaxing, she would walk with them on, but looked like a drunken sailor. I gave up using them because she was hell bent on getting them off and wouldn't leave them alone. She kept chewing on the duct tape. Some dogs might adjust better to them than mine did, so I'm on the fence as how to comment on these.

Love these boots. After the initial high step when the boots were first put on, he loves running in them. No cactus in his paws, and no bloody pads over rocks. Strongly suggest you watch the video where they use duct tape to put on the boots. I know that sounds strange, but it is sheer genius.
