I am a backpacker and a veterinarian. We have sold a lot of different types of booties in our vet hospital and I have heard all the typical downfalls of other booties. These Ruffwear booties are by far superior and well worth the $. I backpacked with my dog over 300 miles this summer and these boots literally saved our trip. I used the boots in rocky or tough sections or on days when we did a lot of mileage. I also gave a set away to some fellow hikers whose dog had damaged all his pads and was having difficulty walking. With the padded boots on this dog was actually prancing at the end of a 14 mile day of hiking. With any bootie it is wise to check your dogs feet for wear areas or "hot spots" every hour or so. I was equally as happy with the ruffwear palisades dog pack. I've tried quite a few dog packs and this one got hard use for 5 straight weeks of hiking. Awesome.
