I blame John Mayer for this

I highly warn against buying these. I ordered a pair for my wedding and they are absolute crap. They are very cheaply made, the dancing bears look like a fourth grader designed them and sewed them on the shoes and the manufacturer does not accept returns or exchanges - much less answer any customer service calls or emails.
TLDR. Buyer beware.

God I hope you are joking.

I don’t want to talk too negatively about them because it was just my experience. If you are looking for these in a size 11 or 11.5 feel free to shoot me a PM. They have never been out of the box and I am happy to get them to a happy home. I paid a lot less than the price shown in the picture with the original post so I am happy to make a deal.

The bears aren't dancing, Owsley said they're in a high-step march

I need a good high step march...

4th graders did technically make them

Semi-relevant story. tl;dr: As long as there's a buck to be made & lessons learned...
Christmastime 1997. I'm at the mall doing some corporate selling out shopping and run into a family I knew from high school (son) and worked with at the time (mom & daughter). There was a head shop in the mall selling all the standard stuff... baja hoodies, tye-dyes, incense, etc, etc... One of the items was a 'Grateful Dead wine bottle' that had a nice exterior and I think grape juice inside. Consumer crap.
So anyway, I'm chatting up the family and they asked if I saw the Dead Red wine bottles in the store. I said something along the lines of "yeah, fucking corporate fake deadhead sellout crap" or whatever. Life goes on.
Fast-forward to the work Xmas party and the daughter turned out to be my Secret Santa. Anyone wanna guess what she had just purchased for me moments before our conversation at the mall?
For whatever it's worth, I still have the bottle of what I'm sure is vinegar by now sitting on my wine rack some twenty years later.

“Marching bears”

This is technically accurate to Bear’s creation ... dancing bears is incorrect

Take my upvote! I've had people pooh-pooh me for my devotion to accuracy. Marching Bears.

I listened to John Mayer first album yesterday and I was shocked how good it was. It’s crazy how small minded people are, including myself. Dude is talented as fuck. Don’t let the fact that girls like his music stand in the way of enjoying some great music

I heard a good saying the other day. Mayer is better than we thought he would be, but not as good as he thinks he is
2
I think this is probably accurate

One the things i admire about him is that he continues to improve. His playing just in the last 5 years has reached new heights. Even from 2016-2017 he has gotten better. It could become easy to rest on your laurels when you enter your 40s and have achieved every possible goal lol i appreciate that he keeps pushing himself

I really wanted to get the Dancing Bears wool sweater from Granted Sweater company that Mayer was rocking a while ago...it was like $360 tho. Waited a bit to save up for it, then they removed it b/c they lost licensing for it, just when I was about to buy one lol

They are marching bears technically

Owsley on the bears:
I guess you may have realised by now that the bears on the album cover are not really "dancing". I don't know why people think they are, their positions are quite obviously those of a high-stepping march.

Only $100 on Del Toro site .... just gotta poke around and you can feel 72% less of an asshole wearing them.....

Pretty sure David Lemieux of Dave's Picks is the current licensing guy fwiw

"Saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac"
Not anything new.
That's exactly what came in my head too.
Theres a cadillac down the street from me with a stealie in the grill instead of a caddie shield.
