Before we found His Turn Steady socks, he would constantly slip and slide on our tile floors, making it difficult for him to get around.
If he's stopped crossing the kitchen
He's not being stubborn. He's scared of the floor.
A dog who's gone down once on floorboards doesn't forget it. He starts taking the long way round. He waits at the edge of the tiles. He stands in the hallway looking at you instead of coming in.
It looks like slowing down. Often it's just fear — and grip on his feet gives him the confidence to move through his own house again.
What owners say
She rarely even slips. I thought the situation was hopeless and am beyond thrilled.
He’s able to walk confidently on our hardwood floors again, instead of hopping area rug ‘island’ to ‘island’.
These work great for my 15 yr old pup on the tile & wood floors!
These are amazing!!! My old 14 year old golden was having difficulty getting up on our hardwood floors so I decided to give them a try. I was skeptical, worried he wouldn’t leave them on; but he did, so I ordered 2 more pairs. They wash and dry nicely.
How they work
Four things that make them stay on.
Falling off is the number one complaint about every grip sock on the market. These are built around fixing it.
Grip across the whole sock
Not a few dots on the sole. The grip wraps the full underside, so when the sock rotates on his paw — and it will — he's still on grip, not fabric.
A strap that holds
A soft fastening strap sits above the ankle and keeps the sock where it should be, instead of working its way down and off.
No buttons
Nothing hard against his leg when he lies down. The strap is permanently attached, so there's nothing to lose in the wash either.
Thick enough to last
Heavier knit than the thin hospital-style socks that wear through a fortnight.
Why most grip socks fail
The difference is whether they stay on.
Bare paws, or socks that slip
He stops at the edge and waits.
- Grip only on the sole
- Slides down and off
- Buttons press on his leg
- Wears through fast
- Ends up under the couch
His Turn Steady Socks

- Grip across the whole sock
- Strap holds them on
- No buttons at all
- Thick knit
- Set of 4, machine washable
Getting the fit right
Size snug.
A loose sock comes off — that's the whole problem in one sentence. Measure across the widest part of his paw while he's standing on it, because paws spread under weight.
Paw width
Tap his paw width to see his size.
| Size | Paw width | Sock height |
|---|---|---|
| Stocky, shorter in the leg | ||
| XS | 6.5 – 7.2 cm | 17 cm |
| S | 7.3 – 7.7 cm | 17 cm |
| Leggier build | ||
| M | 6.5 – 7.2 cm | 21 cm |
| L | 7.3 – 7.7 cm | 21 cm |
| Big paws, either build | ||
| XL | 7.8 – 8.5 cm | 22 cm |
Why two of each size. Paw width decides whether the sock fits. Sock height is about his legs — the same paw measurement comes in a 17cm and a 21cm version, so a stocky dog and a leggy dog with identical paws take different sizes.
Between sizes? Go down, not up. Snug stays on — loose doesn't.
Paws under 6.5cm or over 8.5cm? These won't fit him properly, and I'd rather say so than sell you socks that slide off.
Not sure? Send me his paw width and his breed and I'll tell you which size to order. One person runs this shop, and that person answers.
Before you buy
Questions people ask before they buy.
Will they actually stay on?
That's the whole reason I picked these. The grip covers the full underside rather than just the sole, so it still works when the sock rotates on his paw, and a soft strap fastens above the ankle to stop them working their way down. Get the size snug and they stay put. If they won't stay on him, email me and I'll sort it out.
Can he wear them outside?
No — these are indoor socks. On pavement they'll wear through quickly. They're made for timber, tile, laminate and polished concrete inside the house.
What size do I need?
Two numbers decide it. Measure the width of his paw with it flat on the floor taking his weight — that's the fit. Then his build decides the height: a stocky, short-legged dog takes the 17cm version, a leggier dog the 21cm. The chart above pairs them up. Between sizes, go down — snug stays on, loose doesn't.
Send me his paw width and his breed and I'll tell you which one to order.
Will he hate them?
Some dogs walk off in them straight away, some need a few short sessions to get used to the feel. Put them on before something he wants to do, keep the first go to a few minutes, and build up from there.
Are they machine washable?
Yes. Wash and air dry. The strap is permanently attached, so there's nothing to lose in the machine.
How many are in a set?
Four — one for each paw.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders arrive within 6 to 12 days. You'll get tracking as soon as it ships, and if it's taking longer than it should, email me and I'll chase it.
Where are your products made?
The business is Australian — one person, me, in Sydney. The products themselves are manufactured overseas, like nearly all pet gear including most of what's on the shelf at your local pet shop. I'd rather tell you that here than have you find out from a tracking page.
Try them for 30 days.
Put them on, see if he'll walk. If they don't stay on, or they don't help him, send them back within 30 days and we'll refund you. Size exchanges are free either way.

Also for his comfort
If the floor is the problem, it usually isn't the only one.
His Turn Dog Lift Harness
Grip gets him across the room. The harness gets him up the back step and into the car — the two places socks can't help with. Handle at your hip, one hand, standing upright.
His Turn Steady Table
If he splays his legs on the floorboards, he's doing it at the bowl too. Three bowls included — two stainless steel and a slow feeder.
