I'm assuming you want them for temps and snow... and personally, I'm not in a climate that would benefit from doggy shoes. I'm sure there are members who are, perhaps they will offer up a favorite brand.

@elbrant Thankyou. Yeah, just waiting for other members to reply & help me out here. Yes, I need shoes for winter. Where we stay, it snows a lot, and sometimes when we go out for walking then, his paws catch some ice salts, which I had read was not good, especially because he licks his paws, and those chemicals go into his body.
I had searched on Google also for snow safety shoes. Found this article somewhat useful: https://doggyshoe.com/winter-dog-boots-snow-protection/. But again, they have given so many options, and I need one perfect for him. So, has anyone ever tried any of the shoes they are recommending?

You're right, lots of options! I kinda chuckled at the "comfort score"... just wondering how they came up with that data. ;)

We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole.
Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black
