I wish someone made a soft boot that was tiny enough. I like the idea of them and I suspect that Lu would prefer them to a formed shoe. I have read where some people have cut the fingers off of gardening gloves and used those for soft boots and for around the farm that would be fine but it would be nice to have something a bit more professionally put together for around town. I think the Mini Meshies design is pretty cute but they don't come small enough. |
No I dont have a pattern but I wish I did! I wish even more that someone could make some for me!
I have done the kids glove thing and it works pretty well, but ya, it could look better!
As for the measurements: of course I cant find my measuring tape to save my life BUT for Sophie, her feet are about 0.5 inch wide, and 0s fit pretty well. They dont pull off too easily when the zipper is up.

The 1s are snug, the 2s were roomy and were too big, as I said spun around on her. The inside is soft padding and the insoles are memory foam. I think as long as Lu's nails are kept at a nice short length the 0's should be fine.
Oh also you can PM member AlaskaYorkie, he uses these booties that are soft but not waterproof with a velcro top I believe. These are good for dogs who don't like the feeling of wearing boots too. I forget who sells them, but he will know. |
Mine don't have the elastic around the boot... but these Epiks are 3 years old. I've been using the grooming bands -which still don't work because the zipper still falls down half way. If they have solved that problem, the Epiks are definitely worth the shot! Thanks for the suggestion of the other boots!!
