a question only a new dog owner could ask...

[JennyOnTheBlocks]

what do you wear on your own feet when your walk your pooch

i need something comfortable but waterproof that will support my falling arches - wellington boots are not doing my plantar fasciitis any good at all

has anyone got any good recommendations, please? we like to walk a mixture of tarmac and then go off-road. i'm most comfortable in running shoes, but these aren't waterproof and muttley loves mud

I wear lightweight walking boots or walking shoes most of the year, if it's really muddy then Hunter type wellies.

dp buys this sort of thing for weta nd muddy dog walking :)

I use Merrell Snow Boots for weather that calls for wellie type footwear.
Pricey but well worth it imo

I wear long 'country 'boots ,they came from Equestrian Clearance ,which is an online company. They are very lightweight and comfortable and I also have plantar fasciitis . In the summer I wear either crocs or Birkenstocks depending on the weather .

I get on best with a really good pair of leather walking boots. Have tried and failed with wellies. I'd rather bear the humiliation of gators than the pain of walking any kind of distance in wellies.

Trainers

Oops, I meant gaiters. Not the snappy things that live in Florida.

at snappy footwear

thanks, lots to look at here.

a friend recommended Le Chameau, am now drooling over those too, but also pondering on which family member to put on ebay to fund them

Lightweight hiking boots here...so want a pair of muck boots though.

like these?

I used to swear by my aigle neoprene willies, BUT after majorly tweaking my Achilles have moved to proper walking boots, defo the way to go.

MandM Direct have discount lightweight hiking boots - karrimor etc.

Berghaus waterproof hiking boots, fantastic in all conditions.
