Have you ever put boots on your dog? If you have, you know that there’s nothing funnier than introducing your pup to the concept of footwear. Although they don’t think it’s funny at all. In fact, they often look quite embarrassed by the whole thing.

It is a good idea to protect those precious paws if you are going to be outside in the cold and snow for long walks or if your pups paws are sensitive. Watch out for all that salt and ice melt on the sidewalks, too. Dogs with furry feet can also develop ice balls between their toes which can be painful to walk on. Not to mention the cold on unprotected paws. Here’s a few fun pics of our canine friends sporting boots.

When fall and winter weather rolls in, he who has the best boots wins. Whether you’re working all day on your feet, navigating a foul-weather commute, or having fun in the great outdoors, the right footwear can make the difference between a great day and a miserable one.

How to Care for Leather Shoes

Shop for leather shoes and leather boots at Shoe Sensation

There’s a reason we love leather shoes: they hold up brilliantly to whatever life — and Mother Nature — throw at them. That said, even the sturdiest pair will show wear over time without a little TLC. A few simple steps are all it takes to extend the life of your leather shoes or boots, and keep them looking their best while you’re at it. 

While all leather benefits from proper care, not all leather is created equal. Heavy work boots call for different maintenance than lighter casual or dress shoes, and textured suede or nubuck has its own needs. If this is starting to sound complicated, don’t worry! We’ve broken it all down for you right here.

It’s a fact: high-energy kids are going to run, jump, clown around, and collide — even when they’re supposed to be walking. And while all that energy is mostly a good thing, there’s nothing positive about taking a spill on slick tile or hard pavement. That’s why non-slip construction is one of the most important qualities you can look for in an everyday kid’s shoe.

Summertime all the Time

Nothing says summer beach vibe like a good, comfortable canvas shoe and there’s no reason not to keep that summertime feeling going year-round. Our favorite picks highlight all the reasons to love canvas shoes. Whether you are looking for a classic or something that can go to work, we’ve got some great ideas for you.
