Why did you want to review this product?
In general, most trainers
being worn in Agility today are trail running shoes which offer you support in one
direction i.e. forward. In agility, however, we are constantly
changing directions. I was looking for a waterproof shoe with 'all round
support' which would help me running an agility course.
What did you like about this product?
What attracted me to these
shoes was the fact that, unlike other trainers, these are specifically designed
with the help of a former Agility World Champion. Overall, I found them
extremely comfortable. They are a generous fit and the quick lacing system is
good. They offer a system / support with a re-inforced heel cap and toe box, and
I found the cushioning under my heels and around my ankles was really
comfortable.
Best of all is the fact that the trainers
are totally waterproof as I am a full-time dog walker and have tested on
numerous, very wet and muddy walks, walking through every puddle possible. After
a full day of doing so, my feet have stayed dry. Must say, I'm very impressed
with them so far.
 What could be improved?
Because my dog is on 'winter
rest,' I have yet to try them on the Agility course so cannot say
for sure but as I now there is nothing I would change. I am looking forward to
testing them when we start back up in March and am fully confident that they
will offer me exactly what I need from them.
The DOGGOs where
thoroughly tested at very top level agility. The 2016 German Agility team where
each kitted out in a pair to take part in the FCI Agility World Championships.
What did you think of the design of the product?
The DOGGO Parcours come in
five colour options. I chose grey / orange. Other colours include Black, Red,
Blue / Yellow and Pink / Blue.
Price: £99.00.
Shipping is free in the UK.
Value for money:
You pay for what you get.
This is German engineering at it's best and worth every penny.
Overall rating:
10/10
because they are 100% waterproof and have superb traction
Would you
recommend to your friends? Yes. I'd very much recommend DOGGOs to
everybody - and already have - for all the reasons above.

I bought some doggo trainers – nice red ones after
reading this review. Yes, the first time I wore them they were waterproof
(it wasn’t raining and the grass was dry) but by the third time of wearing my
feet were soaking even when walking through damp grass before it even starts to
rain. Very comfortable for agility but certainly not waterproof- very
disappointing. (29/09/17)
