Calgary Arnold Schwarzeneggers Ridiculously Patriotic Boots Sure Are Something | HuffPost Life - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped by the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to speak out against gerrymandering with former Attorney General Eric Holder, but the actors outfit almost got more attention than his argument.

For the occasion, he donned a black suit with a black and white striped tie and a pair of outrageously patriotic cowboy boots.

The black boots depicted a bald eagle and the Great Seal of the United States set against an American flag background.

You can spot them in the video below, in which the 71-year-old former California governor says, Hasta la vista to gerrymandering, a line that refers to one of his famous Terminator phrases.

\"Hasta La Vista to gerrymandering.\"

The Austrian-born Schwarzenegger previously wore the boots to the New Way California Summit in March of last year.

Oklahoma cowboy boot maker Lisa Sorrell told HuffPost that she made the boots for the actor and bodybuilder in January 2016 and that they cost $11,000. (Her prices start at $5,000.)
