7 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Shoes
Shoes and socks. Socks and shoes. We put them on every morning (generally) and get on with our day. And though we all love our shoes and it’s so much fun to shop the season’s new styles, on some level, we take shoes and socks for granted. Here are 6 fun facts about shoes that might surprise you!
Protect Those Puppy Paws
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.
Non-slip shoes are everything when it comes to keeping kids on their feet. 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.
