Shoes in Cleveland, OH

I hear if you have dogs, go with a laminate. That stuff is super strong. I just purchased 750 sq feet plus the pad for about $1800.00 delivered to my door from a company called bestlaminate.com. I am happy with it and I cant scratch it if I try. http://i.imgur.com/rvJJvQe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hyKFuWh.jpg Oh and I have old hardwood that was trashed under mine but I chose to go with floating. My wife, mom, and dad installed it in an afternoon.

I have laminate and its easy to swiffer-mop up, but I don't think my greyhound likes it too much. He slips around on the floor and has developed a complex any time he has to walk across it.

Look at LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) too. It has better water resistance than laminate, is easier to install, and comes with a 20 years warranty in most cases on the wear layer.

I have a golden too! Great breed. Mine's only 70 lbs though. We have a hickory handscraped engineered hardwood. Even with a wood as strong as hickory, it still scratches on occasion, mostly from the dogs. I think you are absolutely right to want handscraping - even though we have a few scratches from our dogs, the high level of variance in the finish really hides them. They are only really visible when the sun is at a really low angle in the sky. We have hardwood everywhere on the main floor, not unlike what you are thinking of doing. I kind of wish we had put carpet in the living room, because I think it would reduce the scratches. The dogs don't really like running on the wood because they have almost no traction, but they don't really have anywhere else to go right now. I think having a carpeted living room would change that.

I've had Evolution Canine recommended numerous times https://m.facebook.com/evocanine

Scott at Evolution Canine is awesome. I think with dog training, you get what you pay for and Scott has not disappointed us. He is able to tailor our training to our needs, so it has been worth every penny.

I bought some Dansko vegan shoes at The Walking Company at the mall a few years back.

These are cute and comfy bought them a few months ago. Have two zippers to accommodate even big calves like mine...in person I've had luck at DSW before for synthetic materials. A2 by Aerosoles Women's Lemonade Boot, Brown Stretch, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DB8C9NI?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Check veganessentials.com they have shoes, just not sure bout prices and if they have boots..

Earth Shoes has some vegan shoes that are walking friendly like Clark's. Not sure about boots.

I suggest going to see Jody, John or one of the other talented folks at Fleet Feet Sports Pepper Pike (or their Northfield store) and have them look at your feet, gait & current shoe choice to make a recommendation.

I like this kind: http://www.shoes.com/mens-deer-stags-service-black-p2_id243777

asics best by far - but I went to a running store to have my foot assessed and get suggestions from the experts- Vertical Runner in Hudson is awesome.

ASICS Gel Nimbus or Gel Kayano!!

Reeboks Realflex are the best, I have a pair and they feel like you are walking/running on air, and they are also a thin mesh so your feet can breathe.

Ecco, Structures by Clark... Good luck!
