Why Bark & Sole Shoes Stay On?
Tired of dog shoes that twist, chafe, and constantly fall off? At Bark & Sole, we eliminate the frustration by custom-making every shoe based on your dog's breed, gait, paw shape, and size.
Excellent
I purchased the Protective Dog Shoes for my Frenchie’s 4th birthday, and they’re amazing! I wish I had discovered these sooner so that I didn’t have to deal with all the horrible alternatives out there. I had wasted so much time and money with gross options on Amazon, Etsy, Temu, etc. I can’t believe I made my dog uncomfortable and look like absolute trash for so many years. I know these cost more than what most are willing to spend but it’s worth it in the long term financially and for your dog’s health; nothing compares to B&S shoes; don’t settle for anything less! Customer service has been top notch and I’ve promoted these to everyone I know.
Incredible product. These are fully customized shoes that fit my dog's fit without ever coming off. Finally her feet are securely protected. The customer service with this company is unparalleled. They are helpful, responsive and go out of their way to ensure an exceptional experience. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
These shoes don’t budge mid-walk, and my Frenchie seems totally comfortable in them, which is a win!
Frank’s paws sometimes get little cuts while hunting, but these shoes shield them from further injury, letting us keep going strong.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out
Can you guarantee the shoes will stay on?
Yes. The key to shoes that stay on is accurate measurements. When your dog’s paw dimensions are correct, we can craft a perfect, secure fit.
Before we begin production, we verify that your measurements align with breed-specific averages. As part of our process, we’ll send you an email to confirm these details—because precision matters.
Every dog’s paws are unique, even within the same breed. That’s why creating the perfect fit is both a science and an art—and where BARK & SOLE stands out.
With our custom-made design, your dog has the best possible chance of getting shoes that fit comfortably and stay securely on through walks, play, and adventures.
And if you ever need help, we’re here for you. Together, we’ll make sure your dog enjoys every step with confidence and comfort.
Which dog breeds are BARK & SOLE shoes made for?
We first started by making shoes for French Bulldogs, but today we craft custom shoes for almost all small and medium-sized dog breeds.
If your dog’s breed isn’t listed in the drop-down menu at checkout, please reach out to us through our contact form — we’re happy to help.
Why don’t you make shoes longer than 2.75 inches (70 mm)?
At the moment, we don’t offer longer shoes as part of our standard selection. Longer paws require more complex tailoring, and larger shoes are more material-intensive, making production costs about 1,5-5 times higher than our regular price.
If your dog has longer paws, please contact us through our contact form — we’ll be happy to explore a custom solution together.
Can I send a 3D scan of my dog's paw?
Yes. If you prefer to skip manual measurements, you can send us a 3D paw scan or file. It allows us to craft an even more precise and perfectly fitting shoe for your dog.
What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?
Our shoes wear similarly to Crocs or sneakers — durable for everyday use, but they will gradually show wear depending on how active your dog is and the surfaces they walk on.
How and why are custom shoes better than traditional dog shoes?
1. They Match Your Dog’s Paw Shape
Traditional dog shoes follow a generic design, but every breed has unique paw shapes:
a) Oval, longer than wide (Hare-type paw)
b) Round, nearly equal in length and width (Cat-type paw)
c) Oval, wider than long (Broad-type paw)
2. They Fit Perfectly
Most dog shoes follow a "one-size-fits-all" model with limited sizing options. Custom-made shoes are designed specifically to your dog’s exact paw measurements. Did you know that hind paws are typically 15-20% smaller than front paws—so buying the same size for both fore and hind legs won’t work!
3. They Account for Breed-Specific Paw Features
Did you know that dew claws and carpal pads are positioned differently depending on the breed? Custom dog shoes consider these unique features, ensuring a better fit and improved stability.
4. They Are More Comfortable
Comfort is key—especially for stubborn dogs who refuse to wear shoes! A well-fitted shoe increases the chance your dog will actually wear them. The more comfortable, the less resistance you’ll face when putting them on.
5. They Are More Sustainable
Did you know that 70% of dog shoes go unused because they don’t fit properly? What a waste of resources! The biggest issues:
a) Wrong shoe shape = too tight or too loose
b) Incorrect size = uncomfortable fit
c) Poor breed fit = fastening straps in the wrong position
With custom-made shoes, you get the right shape, size, and design—ensuring your pup actually wears them instead of rejecting them.
