you don't have that problem of extra material with the neo-paws boots they are formed to the foot and have a rubber sole.

My dog Sundance has no trouble with escalators, she just walks on and off them like it's no big deal. We do take them fairly regularly. I taught my last dog myself how to do them, which worked well for us. The one thing I'd worry about if putting boots or socks on a dog when riding an escalator is, would the excess material around the dog's paw make it easier for the boot to get caught and get pulled off the dog's foot when getting off the escalator? Maybe if you got the right size boots, it wouldn't be an issue like human shoes are not, but it's something I wonder about. I have some winter boots that I used with my last dog, haven't used them yet on Sundance, that do have a lot of extra material going around the foot. So if I did put those on her for escalator rides, it might cause more of a hazard then not having them on. Just my two cents... AnnaLisa and Sundance No virus found in this outgoing message.
