shoew time!! hehe


Okay, so this is where it all starts getting a little bizarre – first Play-Doh, then this. So you think you’ve seen electric cars in all shapes and sizes. Well, can’t have seen one shaped like a men’s shoe, yes?
Built by a footwear company in China called Kang Shoe, the three metre-long vehicle took six months to build, and features bodywork made out of real leather, which five bulls generously donated. Seems it’s made like a normal shoe too, just scaled up to fit.
The shoe, sorry, car, can carry two people up to 400 km on a single charge at speeds of up to 30 kph, and the battery is located underneath the driver’s seat. By the looks of it, it can even be classified as a convertible. Minus the rag top.
It was demonstrated outside Kang Shoe’s headquarters in Wenzhou in eastern China’s Zhejian Province, where the company’s workers got to drive it. Undoubtedly, they must have had a real kick out of it. Company president Wang Zhengtao says there are plans to make 40 of these for stores around the country, as promotional tools. Wonder if you can have them in left/right pairs.
