I hope I'm not the first one posting this, but Chrome is giving away free shoes, their Kursk model, in their "Turds for Gold Shoe exchange"!

Here's more info:

"This is floating all over and there's a good reason why; it's a pretty great offer! Read up on all the details for Chrome's Turds For Gold Shoe Exchange below.

In an attempt to let the world know how committed they are to their footwear line, Chrome announces their Turds For Gold Shoe Exchange. For two days only, Chrome will be slinging a new pair of shoes to anyone that sends them a worn-out pair of kicks.
“There are a lot of great shoe brands out their but few, if any, are made to handle the harsh demands of riding in the city,” says Chrome Marketing Director, Matt Sharkey.

“Our shoes are built to hold up under the toughest conditions and are designed 100% to address the needs of the everyday city cyclist. Not only did we want to build a shoe that was durable and functional, but we also paid close attention to overall fit and timeless style.”

The exchange begins on Wednesday, March 17 and ends promptly the next day on Thursday, the 18th. Packages must be post marked by 3/18 to qualify and should include a return shipping address and shoe size info.

Please ship all packages to:
Chrome Industries
Attn: Turds for Gold/Sharkey
580 4th Street
San Francisco, CA 94107"


All you have to do is ship your old shoes to them and have it postmarked by tomorrow 3/18, and they'll send you a new pair of Kursks!
Totally legit guys, they're super cool for doing this!

Its not worth it, There shoes are cheap

erichsia 03-17-10 10:19 PM

you gotta wonder how much poor word of mouth has impacted sales of these shoes to the point of Chrome basically giving them away. I know response to them has been negative for the most part, but I didn't think it had gotten this bad.

WoundedKnee 03-17-10 10:20 PM

Not worth it!? Hell yeah i'm doing this.

cnnrmccloskey 03-17-10 10:37 PM

I have a pair of shoes with holes in the bottoms, sides, heels, and have been peed on by several cats, don't matter how bad they are, betterthan mine

Totally agree.
Free, new shoes are better than my old, torn, and unused ones however you look at it.
The best thing is there's no limit, so I can send all my old shoes that are lying around and have them replaced with new ones.
Edit: I'm not sure if there's a limit. I misread the post. There's no limit to how badly worn your old shoes are though.

evilcryalotmore 03-17-10 10:53 PM

I understand that point but im comparing them to the shoes i wear. Lol I collect shoes so good point fellas.

WoundedKnee 03-17-10 11:41 PM

HEY WHAT! Can I send multiple pairs in the same box!?!?

Leukybear 03-17-10 11:42 PM

WIN lol just sent off my old/hole'd pair of a onitsukas today; thanks for the heads up spcial!

no limit huh? :lol:

spcialzdspksman 03-17-10 11:44 PM

Oops sorry. I'm not sure about he limit thing...

WoundedKnee 03-18-10 12:28 AM

Wtf. I just packed like 3 boxes.

MaxSta 03-18-10 12:36 AM

LOL
are u sure you can send them ANY shoes??
I think it's only your worn out CHROME shoes, why would they replace other brands?

joker8baller 03-18-10 12:49 AM

You can send them any shoes. It's fine.

I just dropped off a pair of mine, and a six-pack... =). Drove from Davis to SF.... LOL.

Pretty sure it's one replacement shoe pair per household.

spaceboy 03-18-10 12:58 AM

Unfortunately, those shoes would never fit my wide feet otherwise I would get a pair (from this promo; not pay for them).

renyay 03-18-10 01:07 AM

HA!

Wtf. I just packed like 3 boxes.
I almost want to do the same, but I'm trying not to get greedy! Thanks so much for the heads up! I wear the hell outta black cloth vans... and those are pretty cheap... these cant be much worse... a free replacement is great any day!

LupinIII 03-18-10 02:02 AM

once pair per person. so your roommates can get a pair if it's got a different name and it's in its own box

flyingjew 03-18-10 05:02 AM

I'm going to the thrift store to buy crappy shoes tomorrow and mail like 6 boxes with my roommates names on them. These are gonna last me a long time.

filtersweep 03-18-10 05:14 AM

Am I the only person who is a skeptic? I find no reference to this from any Chrome source--- and I could start my own Chrome facebook page--- so I don't really consider that a legit source of info. Everything else is the same excited cut and paste job.

Let me know when your shoes arrive.

Scrodzilla 03-18-10 06:07 AM

"Turds for New Turds" is more like it.

j3ffr3y 03-18-10 07:19 AM

anyone know how these run? I've got some shoes with holes that I might send in, but I want to make sure that I get the proper size.
