## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these fit the rear on a Super Beetle?**
A: I believe they do but you need to double check with the manufacturer. They fit 65-79 so that should cover all models

**Q: Purchased through amazon.  i am a prime member.  was given return authorization stating that i would have to pay return shipping charges plus a  resto**
A: Contact Amazon Customer Service. I had a return under the same conditions and Amazon covered the return shipping so it’s a case by case basis.

Great . Thanks. Will recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good shoes
*by A***7 on November 20, 2025*

Seem to be good quality shoes, fit is good, lining material seems to grab pretty well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works, sort of.
*by G***L on April 21, 2024*

Okay for a light duty stock powered driver. These have a terrible initial bite and don't get much better after that. Low speed they're okay, but even after bedding in they seem to slow rather than stop.
