I myself own a Staffordshire Bull Terrier female who was introduced to a treadmill at a young age and now frequently uses it on a walking speed. It is not wise to expect an adult dog who has never used a treadmill to readily exept being on it so patience and rewards will be needed to make it an enjoyable experience. Using a treadmill is a good idea if you are short of time or are too tired to take the dog for a proper walk, but dog's do get bored of using them if they do not get their normal walk outdoors. There is no substitute for a good walk in the fresh air so use a treadmill sparingly. Please do not be tempted to put it on a high speed whilst your dog is on it as you may frighten or hurt your dog. Keep it at a walking pace until your dog is comfortable being on it without a lead.

Almost all running shoes are good for treadmills, the only shoes I would stay away from are trail shoes. The shoes that are good for pavement work the same with treadmills but trail shoes are made for rocky uneven sandy ground, and don't provide the same support needed for treadmills.
