I've thought a lot about that, too. I'm always checking the pavement to see if it's too hot. Katie shows no signs of it being too hot or any signs on her paws, but I am overprotective. We walk miles each day, but it's more early or late. During the day she runs playing fetch with lots of stops in her baby pool.
I've thought of sneakers or sandals, but I don't think Katie would be pleased. She adjusted really well to booties, though, but they are only flannel.
