Atrocities of the 1980s Part 2: The Dog Boot

February 14, 2026

Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, an avid reader of my blog sent me the image below.

These 1980s dog leather boots were obviously made by the same unknown company who manufactured the hair-on cat boots I posted yesterday. While the cat boots had plush heads for decoration, it appears that the makers actually used the real thing for this pair.

One has to wonder how they advertised these, ‘Step Out in Style – Premium Leather Boots from Your Best Friend!’ perhaps?
