Robin, do you use elastic to attach the velcro? That's the best thing I like about heidi and company's booties. The elastic allows you to get them just a wee bit tighter so they don't fall off. Most people just use straight velcro, which isn't stretchy. But attaching the Velcro to the elastic makes a big difference.

Agree - this is the most significant reason for them working over all the others I have tried!!

CONGRATS on those with the creative talent to whip these out!!! For me... not gonna try to go the homemade route (at least not at the moment) and love that we have a resource who is not only talented but very quick and very reasonable shipping!
