It's an option, for people who actually give a hoot about the safety and comfort of their allegedly beloved pet, when confronted with the prospects of said pooch's paws on hot asphalt.

We tried booties for snow and road salt. He won't wear them.
As to why it matters, it's because you seem to think he's not getting enough exercise. He gets plenty.
As to dog parks, he goes berserk at black dogs. Why? When he was a young pup, several black dogs attacked him at a dog park. He was a 10lb Bichon Frise attacked by 75lb water buffalos of some sort or another.
You seem to think we're ignoring our boy. He normally gets 5-7 "walks" a day. Missing one when it's 92 degrees out is not going to harm him.
We can also let him do a bio break in the grass at our villa. No interest most of the time, he just wants to be nosey and sniff all the pee mail on the street.
