My dog's feet are 1 7/8 in. wide... would a small be the proper size for him? Are these good for traction on hardwood floors?

No, they're too big! I bought them for my Jack Russell and they were way too big! I gave them to a friend who has a pit. Hope that helps!

Hello dog mom, NO they would not, these come in different sizes, I believe these are 7 to 10 size shoe. woof

Probably the wide wouldn't be the best for small feet or short toes. The wide is roughly 3/4 in and narrow about 1/2 in. You need to consider what toes you'll wrap them around.

I think it depends more on how wide your foot is, but either will probably work. I have a wide foot, skinny long toes, size 7.5/8, and I got a small. I probably could have gone with an extra small.

Hello there Tanya, I believe the dimensions were 1" wide by 1 1/2" long. I bought mine for a miniature schnauzer so I don't think they would fit your Yorkie. There was a sizing chart on the site I used that gave dimensions for each size. I hope this is helpful to you good luck they are cute shoes though.

Depends on what you are using it for. If it's for traction they aren't very good. There isn't enough rubber on the bottom to help. Plus they constantly turn on the paws. I guess for just protection they aren't too bad. Didn't work for my old shiba inu who has slipping problems on ceramic tiles. Hope this helps

Okay, these are a bit pricey, but if they keep my dog warm I don't mind. She is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix and has tiny feet. I live in northeastern PA & need to keep her warm. Is the small going to fit her?? I measured and her back foot is almost 2 inches across.

Ultra Paws makes a Traction Boot for slippery floors that Amazon carries.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gTXDNklGL.jpg

Possibly but maybe not. If the boot fits the paw just the strap feels short you can try this. The boots are stiff at first so get them damp under the sink and "crunch" them in your hands. This softens them a bit and let's the boot conform to the foot better and the strap seems "longer". Our boots fit our lab much better after he wears them out in the wet than when dry. Also you can get them pretty snug just don't go overboard. Try that.

I bought the small size...However, unless your dog is incredibly easy going, I wouldn't buy it. They were hard to get on and the dog hated having them on.

I got for a undersized Jack Russell Terrier who has short toenails cause we walk. Size 2 fit feet, but back legs are shaped different from front. I plan to take hand stitch to narrow the ankle a little. I also thought of getting hair runner bands for rear boots. There seems to be some difference w/sizing if made China or others. I looked at sizes at a pet store for small and could tell I would need X-small. Remember the toenails length make a difference. My dog will wear.

We also have some hardwood, and neither of our dogs have ever had any issues with traction or sliding. It really is a great product. Hope this is helpful & happy walking!Maybe Joe is applying too much if he's experiencing slippage, not positive, just a thought.

I would use the same ones I bought, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. My dog drags his hind paws too which makes the tip of the boots wear down so I bought the shoe goo to help protect them. I hope this helps you out.

They aren't slippery. They are well-made. I had trouble fitting my elderly dog--her feet are splayed, but she's only medium size & the boots that fit her feet were too large on leg. I had luck with Protex Pawz reusable boots. They are like little balloons that fit on feet. They give protection, traction & are much less expensive. You might check them out.

I got the small because I have a doxie with a long, narrow paw and these actually stayed on because the velcro fastens tightly. The smalls are approx. 2 5/8 inches wide and 3 inches long on the inside of the boot. I have read that you will go through these more quickly on pavement, but I did wear these on days where there wasn't ice/salt, because he did ok on just snow. they have a 'nubby' non skid vinyl bottom, but not super thick by any means.There is a measuring guide for paw length: 1.5" is xxx small; 2.25" is xxsmall; 2.75" is xsmall; 3.25" is small; 2.75" is med: 4.25" is large; 4.75" is x large.
