How to measure to get custom dog shoes

We know that measuring your dog's paws can seem tricky—we've been there! However, this is the most crucial step in ensuring your dog gets the comfortable, perfectly fitted shoes they deserve.

WHY PRECISION MATTERS:
STOP THE TWIST: Accurate measurements for A) paw width and B) length keep the shoe securely facing forward, preventing painful twisting.

STAY-PUT FIT: Precise ankle measurements (C & D) are key to making sure the shoes stay on reliably during activity.

While we craft premium, precision-fitted shoes, remember this is no rocket science! You play a vital role here—be patient and take your time. If you have any questions at all, we are always here to help.

MEASUREMENT TIPS

1. We recommend using a caliper tool for the most accurate paw measurements.

2. Measure paw width (A) and paw length (B) while dog is standing and bearing weight on paw.

3. Keep the measurements exact. We'll add extra space to all measurements for wiggle room

4. Take the C & D measurements a bit above the metacarpal pad. CHECK THIS VIDEO

5. Measure paws when claws are short. And keep those claws short! Long claws and snug fit don't go well together!

6. Front and hind legs are different in size. Measure them both.

7. If you don’t have a caliper (which we highly recommend), you can download and print our measurement guide using the link below.
