Posted February 24, 2010 by adminChrome Shoes in Stock!
WheelHouse is now fully stocked with some of the most durable, stylish, and practical (on the bike and off) shoes on the market. The shoes are made by Chrome, the folks who gave you the iconic seatbelt messenger bag, so you know they are built tough. We have two different models in stock, the Midway and Arnhem. The Midway comes with a cordura upper in Brown and Black and the Arnhem is more “chukka” style with a black suede upper. Both boast a re-inforced fiber glass shank midsole, a low-profile design so they can fit in your toe straps, and metal lace ends so you don’t fray your shoelaces. Come down and grab a pair, they all go for $90…. might be the best $90 shoe you ever buy.
