Let’s be honest, sometimes the summer heat gets us too hot under the collar to worry about killer shoes.  How about sparing your dogs some pain and still looking cute?  It’s possible.  Here’s how.

Instead of pairing your favorite summer dress with heels, wedges or even strappy sandals, throw on a pair of sneakers.  Chucks are universally wearable, but you can also opt for something more daring like what’s below.  (Yes, I know these are men’s sneakers, but if the shoe fits…)

Sneakers and a casual dress or romper are perfect for a summer day spent shopping, site seeeing, lounging or lunching.  So go on, be sneaky!
