The bootie looks so nice in the photo and even in person, but in reality it is poorly made. The shoddy workmanship on the sole and heel make the shoe difficult to walk in. The heel is mounted under the shoe so far forward it feels like you're walking on your arches. The sole is stiff as cement yet feels like it's bending right in the middle, so I had a hard lump pressing right into my arches. I buy all of my shoes online... high heels, boots, sandals, sneakers... and have not had any issues with hard soles pressuring my arches until this bootie.
