I think you should do what farmers in Northumberland and Yorkshire used to do before herding their geese and chickens to market across the High Pennines moorland trails (that was before people on dirty great big BMW diesel trail-bikes chewed them all up, of course).

They just used to make them run through a puddle of tar or pitch, followed by a sand-pit. Sand adhered to soles of feet (or whatever geese etc have) and voila: durable lightweight foot wear. Should last you for the season , Doctor - but if not, it's easy to top up.

(If you want a bit more fashion, do this at Alum Bay in the IoW, where you can get multi-coloured sands).
