I've looked at that site, was concerned they would be cheap and poor quality.

I’ve been wearing them for a couple of weeks and they feel like a pair of house slippers, real leather uppers soft rubber soles the quality seems very good. I would have liked a better arch support but that’s an old fart issue, don’t wear them in wet grass your feet will get wet.

Used them to drive the car for about an hour the other day and had no issues with pedal clearance.

For the cost of about $45, no sales tax and free shipping I’m thinking about ordering another pair.

Gulf/GT 40 colors? Steve McQueen shoes? Yes please! When I saw the post I thought, oh no, not another driving shoe thread, but 50 bucks for driving shoes in my car colors is what I needed. The shipping on mine was just $16.

They are on sale for $50, I'm not going to $49 to have them shipped. That's BS

To me it's not what the parts of the pricing package are that just marketing, but the final amount I have to pay & $65 for a pair of shoes is good enough for me. Lots of dealers have low product prices & high shipping others have high prices & low shipping. To me its all about what comes out of my account for a specific product.

I don’t get why the big differences in shipping costs.

Thats a really good question, when I went to checkout, it was $49 for shipping. I would've bought them for that.

I got them for $65 ish inclusive of shipping too. When you checkout there are shipping options buried at the bottom, one of them is $50 bucks but that’s express, if you pick standard shipping it goes down to the cheaper one show above. Interestingly shipping was the exact same for 2 pairs so I bought 2. $108 total for 2 pairs delivered.

All size 13 Hunzikers listed as sold out, or pehaps newer was. No need to worry about shipping cost to Norway.

Have a safe Easter y’all!

Have you guys that have them in hand found that they run true to size or did you need 1/2 size smaller per their sizing guide?

That’s not right, you shouldn’t be standing on Steve McQueen’s face!

Are they roomy at your size?

Did you order ½ size down?

No got normal size. Will put some tape over Steve, he won't feel a thing.

Thanks, I think I was editing when you responded. I realized you indicated you ordered normal size. I ordered ½ size down and am wondering if I should have now.

Ok. This time I looked and a normal shipping rate showed, so have a pair on order. What happened the first time I looked is that the only shipping available was next day, why I don't know.
Thanks, I guess I too will stand on Steve.

I must be reeeeely bored because I'm about to take pictures of my feet and upload to show you how great my shoes are...hey, that makes me a Millennial! No? Anyway, since dinner isn't ready I'll continue.

I'm glad that I did the 1/2 size smaller, as these shoes are not tight at all. They seem well made and the sole is just thick enough that I don't feel the clutch pedal like I did in my Nikes. They're thin enough that the pedal clearance is fine. It's kinda cool they came in my car colors and better yet they have my childhood (and now) hero's name on them.

They came with individual bags, which will be nice for storing them in the trunk

I've got two spare pairs of Puma Nightcats. I have big feet so when I found some that fit I bought 3 pairs. Just getting ready to switch to pair 2.

But the Hunzikers sure do look cool.
