Power Paws™ By Woodrow Wear, LLC
If you have a dog, make sure they have Power Paws™! Power Paws are specialty canine socks that offer a unique solution to many pet-related issues.

Who Is Woodrow Wear?

Woodrow Wear, a company founded by Lorraine Walston, was named after her beloved dog Woodrow who at 15, suffered from age related arthritis and other pains and ailments. She knew that with no viable solutions available, she had to help him and so she invented Power Paws. Lorraine shares more thoughts below on Woodrow and her company:
In honor of my puppy, I present Woodrow Wear. This business is his legacy, and is absolutely dedicated to the millions of older dogs that have traction and mobility issues, and to their owners, who like me, are unable to just sit there and watch them struggle!

Woodrow Wear is also dedicated to the younger dogs who may find a dog sock for traction helpful, to the dog owners who want to protect their hardwood floors from scratches, and to the fashion-conscious dog owners who want their dogs to be suitably dressed in attractive, cute, and fun clothes for dogs.

Power Paws
Power Paws are specialty canine socks that offer a unique solution to many pet-related issues. The products offer cost-effective solutions for issues from traction to fashion, incorporating comfort and style in ways that have not been done before. Power Paws have many uses… from helping older dogs (and younger ones too!) with traction on slippery surfaces, to paw protection, hardwood floor protection, and fashion. Here are some ways Power Paws can help your pet:

• Traction: Grips on slick surfaces, especially useful for dogs with hip issues, arthritis, long nails
• Mobility: Provides senior dogs, regardless of size/breed with freedom and easy movement
• Fashion: Cute, fun, and stylish.
• Prevention: Refinishing hardwood floors is expensive! Power Paws will prevent dogs nails from scratching your floors.
• Protection: Vets and concerned dog owners are also using Power Paws as protection for foot injuries in place of traditional e-collars.
• Specialty Uses: On boats, RVs, and in moving vehicles of all types, Power Paws give dogs traction and stability.

How Can I Choose The Size That’s Right For My Dog?

A size chart is available on the Products page. Based on weight, and breed, you will be able to choose an appropriate site. If you have any questions, please call us at for assistance. There is plenty of elastic in the sock to ensure the proper fit for a range of sizes. If the sock is too big, it will rotate, slip, or fall off – and provide no benefit at all. If the sock is too small, you won’t be able to get it on. If the size you choose doesn’t fit properly, no problem! Call or return the purchased items to us with a note explaining what you need, and we will exchange it for the right size.

Don’t Dogs Try To Take Them Off?

They absolutely don’t! Even dogs with a history of removing shoes, or other clothing items tend to leave these on. Every part of Power Paws was designed for comfort. The socks are designed to fit the dog’s foot (not a human foot which is very different). They are made of cotton and elastic, both very comfortable. Even the grippy material on the bottom was made just for us with comfort in mind… it will remain soft, and it contains no grit or sand. Our belief is that if the dog is comfortable, they won’t be trying to take the socks off! And Power Paws that stay on are beneficial to the dog.

Are Power Paws Available In My Area?

There are a growing number of pet retailers, vets, boutique stores, groomers, etc across the US and Canada that are carrying the Power Paws line of products. If your retailer or service supplier does not already carry them, ask them why not! Then visit our website to view the current list of locations in your area that carry the product, or order direct on our web!

Are Power Paws Waterproof And Can I Use Them Outside?

Power Paws are not waterproof. If you choose to try them outside, and if water is an issue, we suggest spraying with 2-3 coats of a waterproof spray. Obviously, walking a few feet outside isn’t going to cause a problem, but just as you would not walk around the block in your socks, if your dog walks outdoors with Power Paws they will wear out faster and get dirty faster. However, even Woodrow with the gift of mobility, used to run outside faster than I could remove his Power Paws. Take pride in the quality of life gift you have given your dog, and throw the socks in the washer if needed.

What Do Customers Say About Power Paws?

Angel is a very large, mixed-breed dog. She is 16 years old, and unable to get around the tile floors in the house very well. We put Power Paws on her, and couldn’t believe the attitude change. She showed signs of her “old self” again – perky, moving around frequently, and an overall good disposition. Thanks for giving her more good times.
Faye, San Jose, CA

The package arrived today! Rosie, my 6 1/2 yrs. old Shepherd with hip dysplasia is normally very difficult to fit for shoes, but these fit perfectly. They're wonderful. The rubber traction keeps her from sliding on my laminate flooring, and they really make her tail wag! (*_*) - Sue, Fairbanks, AK

Danielle is my Dalmatian puppy. I have a lot of hardwood floors in my house that she likes to run across. The marks her nails leave in the hardwood floors trouble me – the floors look bad already, and I haven’t budgeted for resurfacing the floor. I put Power Paws on her, and we both feel better! Dani loves them, and with them on, there are no new scratches. Yea!!
Patricia, Milpitas, CA

I live in a motor home, and the floor is linoleum. Every time I turn the corner, my poor dog Max slides from one end of the rig to the other, slamming into cupboards and cabinets along the way. This isn’t good for Max OR my cabinets! With Power Paws on, Max can stand still even with the vehicle moving, and both Max and my cabinets are better off. Thanks!
Sandy, (Anywhere, USA)

What exactly are Power Paws™ dog socks?

Power Paws™ are anti-slip canine socks built to give dogs reliable traction the moment a paw touches the floor. Unlike rigid dog boots, they stretch to fit like a second skin with no buckles, belts, or Velcro, so the dog still feels the ground and moves naturally. The grip on the sole is a custom rubber blend that never gets hard and contains no sand or grit, and it doubles as protection for sore paws, healing wounds, and floors you would rather not see scratched. Woodrow Wear sums up the promise simply: “The power to stand. The power to stop. And the Power to GO!”

Who is Woodrow Wear, and who was Woodrow?
Woodrow Wear, LLC was founded by Lorraine Walston and named for her beloved dog Woodrow, a 15-year-old who suffered from age-related arthritis, hip dysplasia, and the loss of mobility that comes with them. Watching Woodrow struggle to stand and walk on slick floors, Walston set out to give him traction and dignity again, and the first Power Paws were the result. The company launched in 2009 and has grown into a brand whose products are reportedly worn by more than 100,000 dogs across 50 countries, with over 95% of owners reporting positive outcomes. As CEO Lorraine Walston puts it, “Our success is based on meeting the needs of all dogs.”

What are Power Paws made of?

Power Paws are knit from preshrunk cotton and elastic, a blend chosen for comfort, breathability, and a snug stretch fit that conforms to the shape of the paw. The non-slip sole is a proprietary rubber blend applied to the bottom of each sock, engineered so it never hardens or cracks and carries no abrasive sand or grit against the dog’s pads. The socks are lightweight, machine washable, and designed to hold their grip wash after wash. The elastic body is what keeps them secured on the foot, the same principle as a human slipper-sock.

How do the three durability levels differ?

Power Paws come in three durability levels so owners can match the sock to the dog’s activity. Power Paws Original suit roughly 90% of dogs and are ideal for indoor traction and basic outdoor wear. Power Paws Advanced add reinforced stitching in the toe area, making them the choice for dogs with long nails, neurological issues, or any habit of being hard on the toes. Power Paws Reinforced Foot, the third-generation line, build in a reinforced foot for the extra durability rugged outdoor activity demands.

Which dogs and which problems do Power Paws solve?

Power Paws were created for senior and mobility-challenged dogs first, providing indoor traction for animals coping with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or neurological conditions, and they are widely used by three-legged and post-surgical dogs as well. Beyond mobility, they protect injured or healing paws, shield pads from hot pavement, snow, ice, salt, and seasonal allergens outdoors, and stop the slipping and sliding that bare paws do on hardwood and tile, which also spares the floors from scratches. They fit a huge range of dogs through 13 sizes and two foot shapes: a Standard shape for paws whose pad group is about as long as it is wide, and a Greyhound Edition for sight hounds, poodles, and the narrower back feet of many working and herding breeds.

How do you size and buy Power Paws?

Power Paws are sold as a set of four socks, with pricing that rises by line: Power Paws Original at $19.99, Power Paws Advanced at $26.99, and Power Paws Reinforced Foot at $31.99 per set. Sizing runs from XXS (fits to 12 pounds) up through Xxxl (fits dogs over 180 pounds), but Woodrow Wear stresses that weight is only a starting point: a 45-pound Basset Hound often needs an XL rather than the M its weight suggests, because of wide feet. The brand offers weight-and-breed guides plus printable footprint guides to dial in fit, and direct ordering is available at woodrowwear.com or by phone at or.
