Bootie Pies are the original luxurious, pedicure-friendly boots that provide warmth and eliminate your waiting time, and allow wet toes to air dry as you can actually leave the salon and stay warm.

Celebrities love them, and the boots, which resemble UGGS, are seen on the likes of Scarlett Johannson, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and beauty icon Trish McEvoy.

The boots are made of suede, and the toe is patent leather.The boots are meant to have a roomy fit for easy use and maximum comfort. If you are a 1/2 size, please order the next whole size, recommends the manufacturer.

The patent leather toe is designed to mold to your feet, and lays down flat to let your toes be exposed for the final polish. After the grooming and massage part of the pedicure, slide your feet into the boot and let the nail tech polish away!

The boots can withstand any inclement weather, rain or snow. As with any suede boot, it is good to waterproof them.
