I would definitely wear those, if only I were a cartoon character.

Not for sale. 
As much as people made fun of them, I thought those red cartoon Astroboy boots from a few weeks ago were pretty dope. Not $300 dope, and I wouldn’t wear them, but a cool idea nonetheless. They should use the same Croc-like material to make some of these. They’d sell a million of them.

I can see someone making them out of foam or doing some sewing and use some cotton filling and faux leather and build the Mario shoes over some existing footwear

I thought if they made them blue, they could sell more of them to Mega Man fans.

So if they’re not for sale, could you at least rent them to use while making stir-fry?
After all, these boots were made for wokking.

What in the Hell is a “heritage” shoe brand?
Author doesn’t apparently know any blue collar folks. My dad worked in a car plant all his life and wore Red Wings steel toed boots every day, as did I when I worked in the plant during summers during college (they paid real well for kids who didn’t have a lot of otherwise marketable skills)
This will end up on a Kawaii product site. Trust me.
yeah, it’s close(r), but not quite the same, lol
Perhaps these, monsieur?

Something like that would be great for walking around areas with cockle-burs or the little sticker seeds.
