Grip Trex Boots

All-terrain dog boots with a Vibram outsole.

These boots are made for walking. Your dog.

If your dog is out on the trails with you - proper trails, varied terrain, long days - their paws need the same consideration as your feet. The Grip Trex are Ruffwear's benchmark boot: a Vibram outsole designed in-house for flexible traction on everything from rock to root, with a breathable mesh upper that keeps air moving and debris out.

The hook-and-loop cinch closure wraps around the narrowest part of the leg and holds its grip even when wet. Worth checking the fit again about 15 minutes in - boots settle as your dog moves, and a quick adjustment makes all the difference to how they wear them.

Reflective trim adds visibility in low light. Gusset opening makes them easier to get on and off. Once your dog is used to them, they'll barely notice they're wearing them.

Getting started with boots

New to dog boots? Work the sole in your hands first to soften it, then start with short sessions indoors before heading outside. The boot dance - the shaking, the high-stepping - is completely normal. Keep it positive, use treats, and build up gradually. They'll get there.
