One tip, most dogs hate wearing boots and initially refuse to walk. My late Angel just stood in place as if she was paralyzed and I had to coax her into walking by standing a few feet away from her and tempting her with her favorite treats. Alter a few successful steps she started the process of getting used to the boots. The next step was to play fetch with her while the boots were on. After that was successful we were good to go!
A friend suggested that Pawz seem to work well for her dog, and don't cause a lot of hate and discontent, so I've ordered a package of those, hoping she'll be just fine with them.

I am a bit afraid that Cobaka will refuse to walk in them, but perhaps we'll try them inside first, where we can put them on her, and then ignore her for a while, until she wants attention, when she should just come looking for us.
