This Father’s Day, Dads everywhere will slip their feet into their trusty grilling shoes, yet they are often old, dingy, and smelly. That is why Ace Hardware is bringing a fresh, modernized twist to dad’s dependable accessory with their own grilling shoe.
Created in collaboration with Dominic Ciambrone, founder of The Shoe Surgeon, the limited edition Ace grilling shoes have all of the essentials and modernized upgrades:
- Bluetooth technology lets Dad order grill fuel and start his BBQ playlist with a click of a button;
- Pre-smashed backs make them easier to slip into as dad goes in and out of the house to grill;
- Heat-sensitive leather changes color while grilling, and
- Cushy turf insoles help Dad stand and deliver in comfort.
Made just in time for Father’s Day, these limited edition and first-of-its-kind innovative shoes are the latest way Ace Hardware makes grilling easy.
“Ace Hardware is the preferred destination for grills and accessories, we are excited to celebrate Father’s Day with a twist – these modern grilling shoes originally designed by the shoe surgeon,” said Kim Lefko, Chief Marketing Officer of Ace Hardware. “Your local Ace Hardware has the best brands for the grill master in your house, Traeger, Weber or Big Green Egg. We love celebrating dads!”
Ace Hardware knew that dads needed something more than just the average grilling shoe, which is why they teamed up with The Shoe Surgeon team. Known for its bespoke street shoes, the popular company was up for the challenge of elevating Dad’s grill game.
“We realize that the grilling shoes of yesterday no longer meet the needs of today’s modern dad,” said Dominic Ciambrone, founder of The Shoe Surgeon. “He thrives on the latest technology, he prioritizes being at home and spending time with his family and enjoys getting creative with recipes on the grill. With that, we constructed a shoe with Ace Hardware that was not only unique, but practical. Wearing these, the Ace grilling shoe allows dads to make their one-of-a-kind mark, both as a grill master and an all-star dad.”
