Our 15-year-old German shepherd carries this dog shoes because they are no longer as good has its hind legs under control. She is suffering from spondylosis and so they do not rub their paws bloody or slips, she wears these shoes permanently. The build quality is okay, but unfortunately keep the shoes more than 2 months since our Hünden follow suit paws. They are just not meant for this kind of permanent deployment. Nevertheless, I buy the shoes after regularly as it currently my opinion, is nothing comparable in this price range.
