Is the Maren Bootie leather?

No. The upper is black vegan leather, and the insole and outsole are synthetic.

How high is the heel?

It has a 1.5-inch low block heel, so a subtle lift rather than a high heel.

It is built for it: a low block heel and a soft synthetic insole. There is no stated arch support, so shoppers who need it should add an insole.

It is a strap detail with gunmetal hardware that finishes the ankle. The description does not say it adjusts the fit.

The upper is synthetic, not waterproof leather. Treat it as a dry-weather boot and avoid puddles and heavy rain.

It costs less in materials terms and is animal-free, but leather resists scuffs and breathes better over time.
