Polar Trex™ Winter Boots 2026 Version
Newly redesigned, the Polar Trex™ Boots deliver winter paw protection and traction for dogs navigating snow, ice, cold conditions, or snowmelt chemicals.
We’ve also found these boots to be a great option for those involved in tracking or hunting with their dogs, or search and rescue work. The added boot height provides extra support and stability, making them particularly well suited to navigating rough, uneven terrain or for those dogs who need a bit of extra stability in their boots.
The waterproof and windproof softshell upper keeps paws dry and warm, while a stretch pullover gaiter prevents snow from building up on the hook-and-loop closure for improved boot retention. Winter-specific outsole with glass fibre lugs positioned directly under the dog's paw provide confident traction on ice and snow with a micro-cleat effect. A hook-and-loop closure makes it easy to put on and cinch down the boots, and reflective trim enhances visibility in low-light conditions.
These boots come in a pair (two single boots) if you are looking for boots for your dogs four paws, you will need to buy two sets of boots.
Glass-fibre winter lugs are key to confident traction on ice, snow, and in cold conditions. This specialised outsole incorporates vertical glass fibre inserts which function similarly to the natural textures found within a dog's own paw anatomy, aiding in superior grip on slick surfaces. Because of this, we recommend keeping these for outdoor use only.
These come in a set of TWO boots. Many dogs have wider front paws than rear paws. We offer our boots in sets of two so you can order the appropriate sizes for a good fit on both the front and rear paws. Just as you would with your gear, adjust fit and check tension of boot straps 15 minutes into your activity and throughout the adventure as needed.
