can't imagine they'll be spending much more than an advertising campaign. but with this comes user experience. they just have to hope that it leads to positive user experience and people aren't complaining about how uncomfortable chrome's shoes are.

These mad limited time offers certain prompt people to pay attention. I have seen some crazy one hour deals on twitter from a few online bike shops.... makes you listed to all the noise in their feeds just to try to catch the next great deal at 3 am. The principle isn't that different than bonktown (which can be highly addictive).

i almost missed this. i took my old shoes in a cereal box to cvs who will take mail till 10pm. got there at 9 and mailed my shoes for four dollars "media mail".

Anyone gotten their shoes yet? Post if you do.

you do realize that's against policy.. media mail should only be used for basically media

you're already getting free shoes, why cheap out $6 from the post office

100% legit, just sayin. its on their bulletin on the website, not sure if anyone mentioned that yet.

i sent in 3 pairs in one box BUT i think i messed up my school address so i just hope i gets them :(

You're only getting 1 pair back.

oh my god looks like a ****ing logistical nightmare.

two people working 16 crates. by the time i get my shoes my bike will be a pile of rust anyways

And that was just the first day! Imagine how many they'll get over the next few days!

Edit: I hope they donate the still wearable shoes to homeless or some charity or something.

I don't envy those guys
Edit, some people have already got their shoes.

I really hope they have more than two guys working on this.

Considering how much money the government steals from us, going "against policy" by using media mail to save a couple of bucks isn't any kind of big deal.

I thought it was kind of odd to hear someone defending "policy" round these parts. Seems that's more the A&S crowd mentality.

Sweet, I should probably expect my shoes pretty soon then.

They're going to grind up all the shoes and start making Kursks with recycled soles to appeal to the "eco-conscious" movement.

i live right around the corner from them and i ****ing missed this.... i have so many goddamn pairs of busted shoes, too....

Can't I believe I missed this. I actually skimmed over this at prolly's blog too. Even if I wasn't going to wear them, easily drop them on ebay and get a new pair of shoes I wanted. Doh...

It would suck to be an intern there for the next few months.

what did you hate about yours so much? did they wear out to quickly or are they uncomfortable?

mine should arrive soon so I'm curious

thanks

Has anyone gotten them yet...?

They were delivered to my apartment on Tuesday, I'll be going back there tomorrow to pick em up =)

Where do you live...?

I'm thinking about calling them up and complaining that the free shoes are taking too long.

Hour from SF... lol

Well I live near damn San Diego.. I thought I would have gotten them already. Agh. Leaving tomorrow for Tucson. :[
