VIP Barmark Rubber Booties, 4 pcs

VIP Max Protect Rubber Bootie rubber booties with anti-slip surface: grip and durability for training or hiking on off-snow.

Renewed anti-slip coated model of the popular VIP Rubber rubber bootie (previously sold as Dragråttan VIP rubber bootie and VIP Barmark Rubber). These booties are made of flexible cut protection fabric with a durable anti-slip rubber coating for maximum grip. VIP rubber booties are intended for wet ground and offer up to 10x better grip compared to traditional canvas booties.

The VIP Max Protect Rubber rubber booties have VIP Universal - booties wide and flexible Velcro tightening. Due to the rubber coating, the material is not quite as flexible as uncoated, but it lasts and holds much better.

• Sold in a package of 4
• Due to the rubber coating, they don't get wet easily, so they are also perfect for dogs with e.g. foot ulcer, nail injury, paw bandage or furunculosis.
• Due to the excellent friction, they are also suitable for e.g. working dogs or dogs afraid of slippery floors.
• A very popular bootie with sled dogs to warm up during training: a bootie that is more wear-resistant than line booties
• Intended specifically for loose ground: sand, gravel, asphalt, etc.
• Quite narrow and tall in design. Therefore, it is best suited for long-legged breeds.
• NOTE: If you notice that the end of the velcro becomes frayed/frayed during use, you should immediately cut it with a new clean cutting surface and burn the end.
• The installation method of the rubber coating causes the bootie to shrink, and as a result, the booties coming from the factory may not be 100% identical in size. Size differences can be evened out by stretching the smaller booties to their full length.

Surface material

The surface material of rubber booties is flexible rubber. Due to the manufacturing technique, the rubber coating of the bootie may have unevenness in some places (e.g. a small point-like hole in the rubber surface or other unevenness). The soft surface rubber also wears out in use: for example, a wreath, sharp ice, branches, etc. can make the surface wet. These do not prevent the use of the bootie: the service life of the bootie can be extended by moving the more worn side above the paw. Light so-called sled dog booties are always wear and tear, so we recommend getting spare booties as well.

The anti-slip rubber surface provides excellent grip on wet ground. If you are looking for a rubber coated bootie especially suitable for winter wear, you should check out the non-stop dogwear Protector Bootie coated with fiberglass .

Determining the size of the VIP Max Protect rubber bootie

Measure the circumference of your dog's paw from the widest point, so that the dog is standing (that is, there is weight on the paw). Divide this measurement by two and compare to the width of the bootie. In borderline cases, choose a bootie that is too loose rather than tight (the dog's paw must have room to expand when stepping). If there is a significant size difference between your dog's front and back paws, you should get two sets of different sizes.

Renewal of sizes and color codes 2024

The manufacturer has updated the model and sizes in 2024. The manufacturer has introduced a new intermediate size, or S, between the former XS size (pink border) and S/M size (red). At the same time, the color code of the XS size changed from pink to white. The old S/M size is now best matched by the M size (both with red edges).

The installation method of the rubber coating causes the bootie to shrink, and as a result, the booties coming from the factory may not be 100% identical in size. Size differences can be evened out by stretching the smaller booties to their full length.

All the new booties are squarer at the toe than the old ones, and the width can also differ to a greater extent.
