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.

It's the age you act or "aspire too" - not necessarily your chronologic age. If the shoe fits, wear it
(pun intended).

Seriously....those are some
looking shoes.
They really do resemble bowling shoes.
Are they made in U.S.A. or China ?
