Fancy shoes can be a tad tricky to walk in, as I'm sure many ladies know. Still, odds are they're even trickier to wear in a graceful manner when one happens to be a dog.

The video above made it online just a few days ago, and the dog featured in it is named Winston. He used to live with a hoarder, but he was rescued by Ginger's Pet Rescue, and soon enough got adopted.

His new owners say that the family will soon move to New York, and that the pooch got the footwear to be able to better cope with the cold weather.

Nobody is denying that the shoes can indeed keep Winston's paws toasty warm, but, judging by the dog's desperate attempts to walk in a straight line while wearing them, I for one doubt that he would like to put them on whenever he leaves the house.
