I don't think Karen carries exactly what I'm talking about, but she has lots of good stuff and her own good opinions on what she likes for different purposes. The socks you link to are nice and light, but I think they're designed for indoor use and good traction on slippery floors. In fact, I might think of getting some of those for Eddie indoors! He's been slipping lately!

In past discussions with Karen, she places a premium on protecting their pads from salty roads, so her material is different than the fleece I like. I'm just not familiar with it enough to recommend it but would defer to her judgment. It may very well accomplish the same thing the fleece I like provides -- comfort, lightweight and some protection from the cold and wet. I used to have an Alaska website that I recommended for fleece booties, but she went out of business!
