He's not being clumsy. Your floor is.
A dog grips the floor in two places: the pads press down for friction, and the nails dig in when they push off or turn. On grass both work. On laminate the pads have nothing to hold and the nails have nothing to catch, so every stop and every corner becomes a slide.
Young dogs slip too. They just recover fast enough that you don't notice. Older dogs feel it first, and once a dog has gone down on a smooth floor they start bracing before they walk across it, which is the part owners usually notice before the slipping itself.
These are a set of four socks with a grip surface on the sole. Wood, laminate, tile. They go on for the parts of the day that matter, not permanently.
Size is everything here, and this is where orders go wrong. Stand your dog on a piece of paper, press gently on the paw so it spreads the way it does when they're walking, and trace around it. Measure the width at the widest point. Order by that number, not by your dog's weight or breed. A sock that's too big rotates and the grip ends up on the side of the paw instead of underneath it, and a sock that's too tight comes off in the first minute.
Two honest notes. Plenty of dogs hate socks the first few times, and walk like they're on the moon. That passes with short sessions and treats, but it does not pass for every dog. And before you rely on socks alone, trim the nails and the fur between the pads. Long nails lift the pad off the floor, which takes away the grip the pads were supposed to provide, and that costs nothing to fix.
What they won't do. They won't help on carpet, because that isn't a traction problem. They won't fix stairs on their own either, where the tread depth and the lighting usually matter more than the surface. And they aren't outdoor boots. Grip soles wear down fast on pavement.
