Default Corvette shoes

I finally got my shoes the other day in the mail. These are pretty cool looking shoes. The fit and finish is excellent and they fit very well. Does anybody else have these shoes?

go to nationalcorvettemuseum.com click on store and go to shoes. You will see them for $70 now, they were $100. I know what you mean about bad looking corvette items.

They do look good I will have to check them out, price is reduced which makes it a bit more attractive.

Is your car faster now that you wear Corvette shoes while driving?

Seriously....those are some looking shoes.

They really do resemble bowling shoes.

Are they made in U.S.A. or China ?
