Vented Boots
November 13, 2024
Ordered these before heading to hunt the Nebraska Sandhills. I never got a chance to put them on the dog beforehand. They went on easier than I thought they would. Guus was less than impressed at first, but after 10 minutes he was back to hunting as normal. A must for hunting around sandburs. I ended up getting a XL set for his front and a L for his back feet.

Great Company and Boots
October 31, 2024
The Lewis Dog Boots are so much better than all of the other boots on the market that I've tried and Gun Dog Supply is always very prompt in their shipping. If you have a lab or a dog with big feet the X-Large may not be big enough. The x-large on my lab are to small which is my sizing fault not the companies.

Saved my Chukar hunt
October 22, 2024
Long story, short if you’re headed to the Chukar hills buy these. If you “think” your dogs feet are properly conditioned buy these. You never know. After two runs my girls feet were spent… Strapped the boots on and got a couple more days of hunting done.

Solid sturdy dog Boot however difficult to attach to dogs feet
January 30, 2024
This is the second set of dog boots from Lewis, the first was a set of vented boots that were given to me, I attached the boots as instructed by the online video instructions and the first hunt lost one of the boots. I mistakenly used the vented boots in ice and snow and soon learned the boot filled up with snow, dirt etc. The boots were also very tight on the top making them quite difficult to put on my dog.
I then ordered the non vented boots and found them again to be quite difficult to get on the dogs foot. I used the dog boots for one hunt and while they did stay on his feet, he seemed to develop a slight limp on one of his feet. I am not sure why, but actually wondered if the boot could be pressing on his nails and causing discomfort. I know that dog boots are something that we need sometimes, it just appears to me given the structure of the dogs foot, it is something that can be difficult and may just be how it is.

They look very nice, everyone very easy to work with , great company.
do have a problem when trying to put them on my dog they dont open up far enough for his foot to go in so he won't set still long enough to get them on.

Excellent Boot

These boots are fantastic for protecting paws in the field. With some elastikon and duct tape, they stay on much better than any type of velcro boot. Special thanks to Gun Dog Supply for overnighting a pair to me and saving my Thanksgiving hunt!

An Absolute Necessity!
November 15, 2023
Wyatt significantly injured his pads on opening day in Northern NV. Injured to the extent he wasn't able to walk for ~2.5 days and hobbled around for the next 1.5 weeks. This lead me to purchasing these Lewis boots. We hunted the same spot 3 weeks later with the boots on and he left unscathed and in high spirits. If you're hunting in rocky/shale covered areas, these are a must.

Sand Burrs Didn’t Stand A Chance
November 14, 2023
The Kansas Pheasant opener always presents a new challenge every year. This year, ample summertime rain led to an abundance of sand burrs. Having been warned by the farmer who allows us to hunt his land, I was able to order some boots for my 22 month old GSP. This is her second season in the field with us, and she would not have been able to enjoy year 2 (nor would I) if it wasn’t for the Lewis dog boots. I had no issues with these boots. I followed the instructions to a T and my dogs feet were thanking me. The boots deflected the sand burrs like they didn’t exist. Pictured is my GSP’s very first retrieve (also wearing her Lewis boots).

I have to use this boot for a toe surgery on my setter and I am really stoked with the ease it has to put on and how durable it is. With a long recovery on the toe we will be using this boot all summer.
Now I know if we hunt in the desert we will get the whole set.

These boots may have saved my dogs leg from being amputated
February 21, 2023
My English cocker developed an infection in one of his hind paws, we have struggled with the infected paw over a year, with several high dollar antibodies, several vets and one vet suggested amputation, so we went to one last vet to get a last opinion and he suggested one final antibody that had not been available and boot the dog before letting him out, so far, I am hopeful. the paw seems to be healing because of the protection provided by the boots and the new medication.

The only dog boots I will use
February 13, 2023
I’ve been using Lewis dog boots for 6 years and they’re the only dog boots I will use. They’re extremely durable, as I’m still using some of the original boots I purchased.
I often hunt in sandy country and the grass burrs are thick. Lewis dog boots keep my dogs’ feet free of burrs and allow them to perform to their full potential. I highly recommend this product.
Watch the video that Steve Snell made on how to put the boots on your dog. If you’ll follow his advice these boots will stay on your dog all day. Also follow the sizing guide on the Gun Dog Supply website to properly fit your dog(s).

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.

Hair vs. Duct tape
February 3, 2023
Tried the method shown on your video using inside out duct tape and an overlapping duct tape. First, takes too long to put them on. Second, it only works if your dog does not have long hair on legs. (notice video using short hair dog). After putting the boots on, they came of within minutes of running. Lots of hair stuck to tape. I've tried 4 different types. Try developing a product that has boots connected to an over the body halter. Like a pair of waders

They are a pain to put on and no wet traction
January 24, 2023
There's no two ways about it, they're a pain to put on. GunSupply's video recommending duct tape was helpful, but for long haired dogs you end up tearing hair out, so I had to first back with vet wrap, then their duct tape method. They are a very durable boot. but they also provide almost zero traction. They may be great for flat lands but not for steep rocky yet slick with snow, chukar terrain.

I hunt in the Arizona desert where everything wants to stick you, sting you, or bite you. These boots work excellent at keeping cactus needles out of your dogs paws. Josie got used to them in a matter of minutes and they really protect her from many of the nasties Arizona deserts have to offer.
I did have to extend the side slits slightly to get over her large from paws however the extended slits did not alter the boot protection. Keeping the boots on requires a little practice with duct tape but easy to master. Always carry a spare though just in case.

Fantastic quality
November 14, 2022
I have spent hundreds of $$ over the past few years trying to find a boot that my dog can run in when I run her on my bike. Every set I bought either rubbed her feet raw from the fabric uppers, fell apart or fell off. These boots are top notch. My only complaint is the need to tape them on. I wasn't going to do that every time I ran her, so I added Velcro straps. I still give these 5 stars due to the quality and fit, and they work exactly as advertised and designed. I just had to modify them for my needs. **Note the heavy-duty rubber does not stick to ANYTHING. I tried Superglue, Hot glue and epoxy to attach the straps but the only thing that kept them attached was super glue reinforced by sewing them to the boot.
Hopefully Lewis makes a version with straps some day.

I am no fan of having to boot my dogs everyday to hunt but when I do do it I will only use Lewis Boots!!! They are rugged yet comfortable and shed stickers and most thorns easily. I never have to worry about losing one either when properly placed on my dogs and taped accordingly.

Upland Hunting with Lewis Dog Boots
March 17, 2022
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.

First dog boot purchase, so take that as you will. I will impressed out of the box. I clip my dogs nails myself, and no issue at all getting these on him either. On concrete he walked around awkward but as soon as we were in the field he couldn't care less. I'd say they are a little loud, but protect his feet well. He had a pad injury and after a week I let him rabbit hunt in these and it worked out great. Plan to use these in icy snow and likely get a vented pair for sandbur protection.

Different boot, same story
January 13, 2022
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.

Lewis dog boots
January 12, 2022
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.

Still working out the execution but great protection!
December 21, 2021
I purchased these for running my springers in rougher cover like cattails and near barb wire after my older girl got a decent sized slice in the top of one of her toes. I initially tried the sticky side out gorilla tape with gorilla tape on the outside but found it was too much work to get them off and then get the tape out of the boots when we were done. I have since switched to prewrap on their legs and then gorilla taping to that but it’s been difficult getting the tape to wrap their ankles smoothly without puckering. I may try some other tapes to see if it will smooth out but after running them several days in these boots in nasty cover they came out with perfect paws and no sore feet so we’re all happy about that.
One thing I would say is that washing the boots according to the directions from Lewis increases the gorilla tape adhesion to an almost unnecessary level making the tape impossible to remove. I left one pair unwashed and the tape sticks well but then actually pulls off the rubber once we’re done.
I also carry a pair of bandage scissors in my pup first aid kit which makes removal from their paws super easy. I haven’t left them on for a whole day as it’s not too bad getting the girls to stand and install and I don’t want them having trench foot conditions in there. Their paws have been wet every time we get done with a field so I remove to make sure they get a chance to dry. Just something to keep an eye on.
