Here's a few things I'd suggest.

* If the snow is thick, pack down an area where Royce can play without going up to his belly. I bought some cheap snowshoes.
* All boots are not the same. I find simpler is better, just a fleece or nylon sack with velcro tie at the top. If you snug up the velcro below the first joint on the foot, they should stay MOST of the time.
* I agree with Connie on the layering technique. Fleece inside for warmth, nylon outside to cut the wind
* Keep him moving. If he stops, he's going to shiver. Either walk him without stopping or toss a ball or do something to keep him generating heat.
