The Ruffwear Summit Trex is a versatile “everyday” dog boot designed to protect paws from extreme temperatures (hot pavement or snow), abrasive surfaces, and road salt.
Crucially, Ruffwear sells these in pairs (sets of 2). This is a deliberate design choice because many dogs have wider front paws than back paws, allowing you to buy different sizes for a proper fit on all four legs.
Key Features
-
Weather-Resistant Upper: Made from DWR-coated polyester ripstop to block moisture and debris.
-
Flexible Outsole: Uses a non-marking rubber that provides traction without being as stiff or “burly” as the Grip Trex model, making them more comfortable for casual walks.
-
Secure Fit: Features a hook-and-loop cinch strap and an integrated stretch gaiter to keep the boot snug and prevent dirt from slipping inside.
-
Visibility: Includes reflective trim for safer walks in low-light conditions.
Sizing Guide
To get the right fit, measure the widest part of your dogs paw while they are standing (weight-bearing). If they are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size down for a snugger fit.
| Boot Size (Inches) | Paw Width (mm) |
| 1.50″ | 38 mm |
| 1.75″ | 44 mm |
| 2.00″ | 51 mm |
| 2.25″ | 57 mm |
| 2.50″ | 64 mm |
| 2.75″ | 70 mm |
| 3.00″ | 76 mm |
| 3.25″ | 83 mm |
Pro Tips for New Users
-
The “Boot Dance”: Don’t be alarmed if your dog walks like a high-stepping pony at first! Most dogs adapt within 510 minutes of actually moving outdoors.
-
Check the Tension: Its a good idea to re-tighten the Velcro straps after about 15 minutes of activity, as the boots can settle once your dog starts running.
-
Boot Liners: If your dog has dewclaws or very thin legs, pairing these with Ruffwear Bark’n Boot Socks can prevent chafing and make the boots easier to put on.
