In sorry if that made you uncomfortable but I am serious. I think that it is kind of stupid. Unless it is an Alskan sled dog, a dog should not wear shoes. That is why they have paw pads.
Um, no... So you would say it is stupid that I put boots on my dogs, because the ground around here is hot enough to MELT your shoes? (Yes. Stand in one spot long enough around here and the soles of your rubber shoes begin to melt.)
Pads are not as tough as they seem, sometimes dogs do need the extra protection.
I like T-shirts for Ripley when it cools off around here, but my favorite thing for my dogs is bandannas - they're cute but they don't irritate the dog. (Last week it was Harley-Davidson bandannas - I take them off of the boys for the weekends.)
I don't think I'll ever go as far as to put my dogs in outfits, though. They're GUYS for cryin' out loud.
