Carl's Jr and Hardee's have joined forces with The Shoe Surgeon to release original Angus Kicks, the first-ever burger-inspired shoes from The Shoe Surgeon. These special shoes feature original designs inspired by the flavor of the Steakhouse Angus Thickburger, a menu favorite returning to Carl's Jr. and making its debut at Hardee's. "We're excited to bring back the decadent and luxurious Steakhouse Angus Thickburger to our Carl's Jr. fans and introduce it for the first time at Hardee's with a one-of-a-kind partnership with The Shoe Surgeon," Patty Trevino, SVP, Marketing of CKE Restaurants, Inc. said. "As we continue to offer impossible-to-ignore culinary innovations for our guests, partnering with The Shoe Surgeon is a natural fit to bring the burger to life with head-turning original kicks."
