Shoes Built for a Dog Show

Support is more important than fashion when you’re walking on concrete for a whole weekend.

By Allan Reznik

Q. Why do women wear "orthopedic looking shoes" during dog shows?

A. Support, support, support! I have heard no end of complaints from men and women about how hard those concrete floors are on their bodies, especially during a four-day dog-show weekend. Sometimes proper footwear is much more important than being fashionable.

Ha, my husband hates my dog show shoes. Calls them Granny shoes. One day we looked at my Grandmothers feet and sure enough she was wearing the same shoes! LOL But shoes need to have good grip, plenty of padding/comfort, and not be able to slip off easily!
