We have hardwoods throughout so I'd need about 100 of them and it would look so cluttered and ugly. I've seen boots but we tried those years ago for the salt covered slushy trails in new England. She freaked out when we put them on her. Like epic failure. At 15 I dont think this old dog is going to up to learning that new trick if she refused as a puppy.
Cheap throwaway runners for a portion of the space. Shouldn’t need to cover every surface, just the main areas she roams.

Agree on skipping the boots.
