Lylee Girl considers these boots "instruments of torture", so when Barney was visiting she thought he was perfect model for them 
These are a larger size - the paws have to be at least 3 inches across (Ruffwear has a sizing chart on their website plus I think they need sock liners to work best) - they are officially size L
They only had about 20 hops in them before Lylee looked completely disgusted. Your pup needs to not have overly sensitive feet.

OH!! Those look fabulous!
Speaking of booties...
I still have a pair of small MUTTLUCKS! (1 is brand new, one is worn) I used to put them on Comet's gimpy foot when we went walking so the tip of her toe wouldn't hit the ground. It never snows here and I know Rocket will never wear them. He would rather kiss a tripawd gurl than wear shoes!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Okay so this is my 1st post ever to an online site. Raleigh and his mom are newbies to the Internet communication thing, but his recent diagnosis, amputation, and 1st chemo visit have made us open ourselves up to new things. Not sure how this works, but ra's mom is interested in lylee girl's much hated skyliners. Would like to see if Raleigh will wear them. He has a pair of grip trex, but he has a tendency to walk out of them and I have to follow behind to find the lost boots. I think the sky liners will work better with their more sock like top. What do we do?

You just need to ensure the 3" boots will fit, and wait for a reply from Joanne. It sounds like Raleigh may already have an issue with his Bark'n Boots being too big.
If you don't hear from her here you can send her a PM (Private Message) by composing a message to Lylee Girl from you inbox (see button at top right).
PS: Welcome! Your future forum posts will not require moderation. Consider starting a new topic in the Share Your Story forum to tell us more about Raleigh.

Joanne and Lylee,
Tried replying to your pm, but my iPad didn't like it - so I'm trying this route. I think the larges will be perfect. My boy, Raleigh, has long, skinny feet and while his width matches the mediums, 2.75", the pads stick out of the back where the Velcro is supposed to close. Thus, they do not fit. You would think they would allow for the length of the foot and not just the width, but they don't. We already have the socks, just need the boots. Can you help us? What do we do? Like I said my iPad won't do pm's so we'll have to communicate this way or regular email. Just let us know.
Tracy and Raleigh
Did you guys ever connect? If not, I'm sure Lylee's mom will check back.

HI Tracy & Raleigh
I've been out of town for a few days and I missed your post and was given a heads up thanks to Ge'lena!
Email me @: joferris at pacbell dot com and I can get your mailing info. If they don't work out you can just offer them up again on the Angel exchange 🙂
Happy Holidays!
