The timing of this pitch seems to be off by a few months, but we’re still struck by the weirdness of it all. The product being marketed is called “BootiePies”, which are suede boots you’re supposed to wear to the nail salon for a pedicure. Once your feetsies are done, you press down on the boot toe (which collapses), so that your freshly painted nails are exposed (and presumably won’t shmear) for the trip home. (What, you think we’re kidding? See how they work Here.) So, for a rather rich $128, you can get boots that are pretty useless in wet weather, but will keep your nails looking good in open-toed shoes. Or, you could just sit in the salon for a few minutes until the polish dries. We’re just sayin’….
These shoes are very cool. We bought them at www.FialaFeet.com
