These boots are made for walking...

The time of year has rolled around to salty walkways and paths, my least liked time to walk Willow. I thought I'd be out and back with Willow before the salters arrived but I wasn't. It didn't take too much walking before Willow was at her feet, something that she doesn't do if it's just snow but the salt must sting so I ended up stopping to wipe her paws a few times and we turned around and headed home.

This afternoon's walk will find Willow in boots. At least the snow isn't deep enough for the boots to get lost when they fall off, as they inevitably do. I am trying out new little reusable and disposable rubber boots to protect her feet from salt. If they don't work it will be back to the mutt-lucks which I find a bit of a pain to put on.
 
I can see where that would be a challenge, for sure. I can imagine the salt does sting. At least you have the boot option so Princess Willow can still get her daily walks in! I bet she enjoys the snow.
 
The salt and then we have that spray stuff that they use on the roads here - over state will not pay the extra to have the non-corrosive additive added to the mix - stuff eats through plow trucks, brakes, vehicles, roads. I will not walk Brodie on the streets until a heavy rain after application which means right now, no walks unless I drive somewhere.

I am UBER interested in what you find effective for boots. I have these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WH41PKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but Brodie hates them.

Red Shoes by Elvis Costello

Oh I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused.
But since their wings have got rusted, You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, That's when I knew that I could not refuse.
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

I have a set like that, my brand was Mutt-Lucks but they had that same velcro strap fastening but Willow didn't like them much and they always came off somewhere along the way. What we have now was easy to use and effective, at least in this shallow snow. I'll update you once we tackle deeper white stuff.
