    The Skyliner seems to have more insulation but is less "rugged".

    I haven't seen the new Skyliner. I use the Grip Trex. They have Vibram soles... don't know what the soles on the Skyliner are.

    Ruffwear has GREAT customer support. Email them your question and then let the rest of us know!

    After using them on my dog, this is what I came away with:
    - The dogs paws have better traction without the shoes on.
    - Most of the time, you have to tighten the strap tight to hold the boot on (especially if they get wet), this ends up hurting the dogs feet because it puts extra pressure on the lower leg muscle.
    - Better stuff to spend $60.00 on, unless you take him to the beach ir winter hike alot.

    Just my 2 cents worth .....
