Do these boots breathe well?My dog will have to wear these for long periods of time,and don't want to cause more problems because of too much moisture

Actually I should revise my review of these boots. I am no longer very happy with them. He did have problems with the top of his paws bleeding and the plastic cracked. I think I am back to the Muttluks.

they're pretty stiff, and no, they're heavy duty...there are no breathing vents on top or anything.

The boots are made of rugged nylon material. It is highly doubtful that they breathe at all. Any boot fabric that would breathe well probably would not hold up over time with regular use.

I would say pretty good. After a while of breaking them in, they get a little more flexible but you can keep adjusting and tightening. Well worth the money I like my boots a lot. Hope that helps

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

I use them in snow, but fastener isn't good. I use vet wrap on top to help hold them on. These are my dogs favorite boots. Very comfortable and easy to care for. Just drop them in the wash. Sometimes we lose one in the snow/woods, but they are so cheap, it's not that big a deal. When you lose a boot that costs $20 each, then that's a bummer.

In terms of being Air Tight ,they Are pretty Air Tight . I have Not had any Issues with Moisture at all . I have My Baking Flour in one and has held up just fine . Stays Fresh and Dry .

No problems with moisture as all. I live in Canada though and I had alot of problems with ice so I just take them off for the winter. Waters no problem though, it just blows out as soon as you let them rip

They seem to be well insulated. I, too, have wide feet. As I said, get the size you normally wear if you really want these boots.

They should fit snug around the leg, you should be able to stick a finger between the boot and the leg. I'm sure you can ask your local vet.

No, they haven't made my feet sweat but I wear socks with them and it has been cold. They have a cloth lining in them and a great supportive foot bed that is also cloth lined. I have used them in the snow and my feet do not get cold either. They are not insulated but I was just fine and dry in them with my light wool socks on.

Correct not breathable, but no moisture issues, even in a relatively humid climate of San Francisco. However after spending several months airing them out, direct sunlight exposure and hosing them off repeatedly, once I finally began using them, the stench of plastic fumes were still unbearable. Thus sadly, all six of them ended up in some plastic heap choking some corner of our planet.

As i said i use them for my dig in her kennel. ..if she pee's , i wash them so I'm guessing you can there waterproof. ....it don't soak through

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

I am not sure about this one. I would try putting the inserts in the boots overnight or for a few days to see if the inserts will absorb any odor.

The outside can get damp depending on how much they go. I have had no problems with them becoming soaked or anything like that. I have not noticed any problems with skin breakdown or oder either. Hope this helps.

I don't know about the ventilation because the boots did not last long enough to use in warm weather. Poor quility. I would never buy them again !

I have kept mine for long periods of time - and they are great. . . key seems to be keeping the moisture at bay. I vacuum sealed mine for keeping but probably not necessary if you seal them well and store in a dry place. You will love these little gems. :)

They keep your feet dry but they are rain boots, so they won't keep them too warm! Still awesome boots though :)
