I have this one. I’ve never actually hooked it up and used it, but I definitely bought it and still have it.

1960'sTVfan 08-08-2025, 05:27 PM TV ad from 1991 for the Nick at Nite Get Smart Shoe Phone. I had one of these, it had a short cord and eventually stopped working so it went in the trash. Seems to have been rather cheaply made.

(...) This real working shoe phone, with the phone in one shoe and the bluetooth headset in the other, was the basis of a Flinders University press release, on The New Inventors and a headline item on the ABC South Australian TV News (...)

Hawkee 08-09-2025, 02:30 AM Does anyone remember NASCAR telephones? They were car shaped and they had some NASCAR drivers race cars. Mine was a Jeff Gordon NASCAR telephone and I thought it was really cool

That's the exact same NASCAR telephone of Jeff Gordon I had and I tested it to be sure it worked and it did. But then I unplugged it and put it in it's box as a collector's item and I still have it today. I also had a telephone of Sabrina The Teenage Witch that before it rang when someone called you Salem the cat would talk and it was very cool
