1892 repro shoes

Hey Jake,

I believe you know about my recent sponsorship deal with Colchester Rubber Co. If not, you can read about it here http://www.docpop.org/2010/03/29/doc-pops-got-sole.html

They are extending their $18.92 sale for one more day and getting rid of the "email us to get a promo code" thing. So until 11:59 pm April 1st you can still buy a pair of shoes for the "Doc Pop discount". I noticed a couple folks commenting that these shoes could be easily modded to fit a steampunk aesthetic, so I thought I'd drop you a line in case you wanted to mention the deal on y'r bloghole. I'll also be donating my proceeds for the shoes sold to a local non-profit.

Hope y'r swell,

-Doctor Popular   [Thanks Doc! Hope to see you again soon at Maker Faire! -Jake]

Alas, no shoes!

I ordered some of these, and was beginning to think that it was around the time I should be expecting to receive them-- the site said three weeks for delivery. Alas, today I found a refund from PayPal-- apparently the shipment of shoes was damaged in transit and so they don't have any available to sell. Very sad, I was very much looking forward to having these!

Uh I know this isn't the right place for this, but I'm not sure where to go on your site for it but I met someone who worked at this shop at Sakura-con and I was hoping I could use this to get in touch with him, his name's Ryan and he said he worked here.
Thanks for your patience. :)

Do you mean The Steampunk

Do you mean The Steampunk Workshop or Colchester Rubber?

I can't help you with the later but The Steampunk Workshop is in Boston and there's no Ryan here.

Must have the wrong site then

Jace Sculptor o... — Mon, 04/05/2010 - 15:01

I must have the wrong site, I was actually looking for a place called Jigsaw Renaissance, and when I googled it, it came up with this site saying "The Steampunk Workshop: Jigsaw Renaissance" so I thought maybe this was it.
Thanks for the help though in clearing up the confusion, my search shall continue!
