good if you own a museum with polished granite floors? right?

@trlygrl: Checking into site error.

as a person that does in-home surgery, i might need this. but shhh...don't tell the AMA.

looks like the site's been overrun already. I can't even connect to the deal.

@carl669: Someone got busted in Miami, doing plastic surgery in the garage. They got caught when someone got an infection, from the carpet padding they used for bust enhancement. Was that you?

sounds like a bad college nickname...
"don't worry, ladies, every bootie will be properly served."

@uskrewed: Right? Like that guy from The Departed. He needed them to hide his DNA.

All kidding aside, I agree with you. Some professions, besides the medical profession, will find these useful. I posted above, but realtors of high end properties do ask potential buyers to take their shoes off (usually at the owners request) so the flooring isn't damaged by the hordes.

Also, some people are really super allergic. Others are a bit OCD. Some may have depressed immune systems that require more sterile home environments. Useful product, not sure if it's a good deal or not moneywise. Site was still down so I haven't been able to read all the info.

All of you saying this is pointless are idiots . i worked for att uverse and you be surprised how many times customers would thank me for wearing these... your constantly walking in and out of the house and well your shoes don't seem to stay clean...and not to be racist but a very big chunk of the asian customers would ask me where i got them from. and some would even try to get me to take my boots off if i didnt have the booties...

I saw "Bootie Butler" and thought of something else entirely.

These would be great for covering your shoes when painting.

Everyone, the site appears to be back up.

UPDATE: Greg from BootieButler here. I want to apologize to the community for our site being down. We just weren't ready for demand we saw this morning. To make amends, we are going to extend this offer through Sunday. But wait, there's more! Use promo code "doh!" and receive free shipping on anything you buy from our site. Thanks for your understanding.

@gregcompton: Something tells me the demand wasn't to buy them, but just to see if your site was for real.

@woottacular5566: No doubt that a lot of the traffic was due to the brand name. When your flagship product is called "BootieButler" you learn to have fun with it.

@pickypickypicky: i said "ssshhhh"!!!!

@seattlehellers: I just watched the video. It took like....10-11 hours for the site to be available.

So I had no choice, but to go by the description and pictures. Which describe and picture it as a dispenser, when in reality; this is clearly a shoe bootie APPLICATOR.

Still....I don't see how this is useful. If the booties are clean, what's the problem with bending over and sliding one off. I mean, you have to remove the dirty one manually anyway.

This product is akin to an automatic door opener. Just use your hand...you have two of them!

@woothulhu: Booties is what nurses call them. They think it's cute. You have a HUGE adversary if you try to change the name...good luck ! I'm rooting for you.

In addition to open houses and model houses, I live in an area of multi-milliion dollar homes (I do not live in one). Several charitible organizations during the years have tours - especially at Christmas - for fundraisers. They always have booties that you must sit down and struggle to put on before you can enter, and it is a royal pain to get them off and return them to the box. Suffice it to say that by the end of the day, there are a bunch of dirty booties worn by many people. I personally do not NEED these but there are people and organizations that do.

Great video.."I just wanna buy this so when my buddies come over I can yell "Booty"! Too funny. And a really neat product. Looks like refills are reasonable, too.

Up vote for the Bootie!
