Got my Dope Dawgs about two weeks ago. I was blown away by the quality of the packaging and the shoe bags. They're so good looking I didn't want to ruin them and use them for hiking, but in the end, I decided to because they are so rugged. They are super comfortable. Have used it for both short and long hikes with the dog in sandy and rocky terrain. The grip is great. Have had multiple people come up and ask me where I got my boots from!!
