yes, but Michelin discontinued them because they were uncomfortable and bouncy

Too cool. I wonder what the tread looks like?

bobblehead · 07-01-2015, 04:51 PM

Cool! Does the sole look like a Pilot super Sport?!

rr006rbc · 07-02-2015, 08:46 PM

I wonder what the treadwear rating is..100,000 step warranty? lol

remmib · 07-03-2015, 05:26 AM

So they are safety shoes for work?

Btw... I just had the bright idea to look on Amazon.de (Germany) to see if they carry these shoes. They do!!

I'm also blown away at all the different style of shoes Michelin makes! Who'da thunk it!
