Are those LeChuck Taylor all-stars?

I want to hear more about this Monkey Island proposal you speak of Britt-a-ny.

I would love to have those shoes! As Brittany asked… Will they ever be up for sale?? =D

Nice work on the shoes… Man, I miss that game.

Are these ever going to be available for purchase? My fiance proposed to me using the Monkey Island game, and those shoes would be a perfect gift for him to wear on our wedding day.

You painted them? I was going to ask how they were done. That must have taken ages.

Hi! I’m the girl who painted those shoes ^^ I am amazed at the success they’re gaining since Ron Gilbert posted them.
I’m really glad you like them, thanks for the kind words! :D

I kind of remember MI not so much because of how awesome it was to play (though it was), but because of how effortlessly likable the game was all the way through.

That game has a heart of pure gold, and i wish i could find out where it lives so i can send it flowers.

Shoes, in general, regardless of style or label, are generally made in Asian sweatshops.

I’ve never understood why not wearing an item of clothing has to be a big dick waving event.

@Taillefer,

Chucks are canvas, there’s no leather real or fake involved in these shoes.
