As far as the fleece ones go- people I know rave about them! Don't hold water, have traction on ice (unlike the rubber sole), breathable, and are stretchy and apparently comfortable. Could you post the link? |
Sadly most places won't allow you to return shoes for health reasons. I have measured and measured Lu's feet and it really does seem like she would wear a size 1. . . as long as the chart is indeed correct. If Uni's feet are about 1" and she wears a size 1 and they fit snuggly but 2s were too big and turning around on her feet and Sohpie's feet are about 1/2" and she wears a 0 and they are not turning around on her feet and I had another lady tell me her 4 lb yorkie wears 1s but they are almost too small and that her dog should maybe wear 2s instead. . . Ahhhh!!!!
The chart says that size 1 fits 2.29cm and Lu's feet measure between 2.2 - 2.3cm. If the chart is indeed accurate then size 1s should fit perfectly, at least that's the theory. Still going to mull that over before I bite the bullet though. The darned things aren't exactly cheap.
Here's the link that alaskayorkie shared with me for the fleece booties.

He mentioned the photos aren't great and that I might have to take his word on how good they are (and have to admit he was correct). He also sent a link to a video of his yorkie Jillie running around in her booties on glaring ice and she is having a blast! He said that he didn't figure Jillie would have even gone out for a walk without the booties on. With them on she didn't seem to have any issues with the cold or ice. With the rave review from alaskayorkie who says he's tried quite a few different kinds of footwear over the years, and the fact that I can't find even one other place that makes tiny booties, I think I may have to give them a try.
