I’ve got to get to Florida one day.

Seems like in FL you can see Scarface’s wife on a road bike and drink beer with Bubba in the Everglades in the same day.

Walking on my old leather bike shoes always felt like walking on high heels with the heels. Those would be an improvement!!!

So I did a little digging and it looks legit. I think that this is her (shared?) Instagram account. Looking through the pics, there are a few shots of these shoes, or ones that are very similar, including this one -
