Hello and welcome, congratulations on your soon to be 'failure'!

What is your boy's name?  Is he missing a front or rear leg?

The problem with booties or socks is that it isn't great to leave them on for long periods of time.  Breathable things like socks are a little better than boots, but it is important for dog's feet to get air and dry. 

I had a quad pug named Tani who had very bad mobility issues due to a brain injury and arthritis and the socks didn't work for her at all.  She tended to drag her feet so the socks would just come off.  She was so bad that she slipped even on tile floors and on some of the throw rugs I tried. Neither of my two tripawds had nearly as many problems as she did though.  For Tani I ended up with yoga mats- I made a trail through the tiled areas and she always stayed on them.  When we went to the vet I used the Pawz Booties on her- she could not walk at all on the linoleum floors without them.  They stayed on even when she dragged her feet but her feet were really wet when I took them off after an hour or so.

Of the four pugs and pug mix dogs I've had Tani was the only one who would wear anything on her feet.

My current tripawd is a little pug mix named Elly who is missing her right back leg.  We have lots of tile floors which she can navigate pretty well.  We don't have all of the floor covered but we do have rugs scattered throughout the tile areas so she doesn't have to go far between rugs.
