I bought these boots to help my senior pup's feet when it is snowy and cold outside. I was drawn to the lightweight construction as I feel other boots that are heavy "shoes" may affect his ability to balance and use his foot in a natural manner. These are fairly easy to get on and off and he wears them with little resistance. My two concerns with the product 1) the velcro strap is long, flaps around, no clean way to secure it 2) the "tread" of the boot is quite slick on snow which caused him to slide around quite a bit.
