I kind of want to do this but I don't think I'm cool enough to pull off Chrome shoes.

I am about to bring my ready-to-go box across the street to the post office. I put in a pair of beat to shit $4 "vintage" Nike's that I'm actually kind of bummed to see go since they came with me on my round-the-world trek.
But then I made it all ok by writing my return address on the back of an FHR flyer with a note that "OMG YOU GUYS FUCKING RULEZ!!11!!!ONE!" I really need new shoes.

For taking pictures of things you write on paper with a pen? Or for sending in Jeff's shoes?
Oh yea, a little context goes a long way. My previous post has been upgraded, now with more context!
I greatly appreciate the free shoes tip as well. Thanks for sharing the link.

Yeah, no kidding. If I can make it home early enough today, I'm totally doing this.
How the hell do you find all these free/cheap deals, Kevin? Do you have an uncle who works for the internet or something?
I'm a little sketched out with the source of this info, have you guys found a reliable source?.....blogs these days are about as reliable as my idiot cubemate.

serpentor put the chrome facebook page link in the first post. the chrome facebook page is the same one linked to by the chrome website that you just linked. convincing enough for me that it's kosher.

My friend back home in SF called Chrome and asked if he could walk in a pair, and she confirmed that it's all good but he had to mail them. Yesterday they were accepting walk-ins but ran out of stock.
Also, I got my mom to send a pair of old shoes in! She will be rocking a pair of Chrome "gardening" shoes in the near future.
Goodbye 1997 clunky mary jane sketchers that I haven't worn in 4 years. Hello Chrome.

I don't think you could make me wear those ugly things if you held a gun to my head. Besides, I've already known too many people who've had them or tried them and gave them shitcan reviews. Unless you have fat ankles and narrow feet expect them to fit like shit - just tellin ya what I heerd from multiple sources.

If you actually intend on wearing these, cut the fucking metal caps off the shoelaces. Those shits slap all over the place when peddling and even walking for that matter.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but in case I have the same problem with 8, can I try yours to see if they fit me?

Sizing is all off for me, too. Fuck. Asked for a 9.5, got a 9. Fits really well on my left foot, really bad on my right. Anybody need a 9 that has a 9.5 or 10?

Oh hush, they gave out 5,000 pairs of free shoes and donated 5,000 others to charity. I may not love them, but I'm more impressed by their attitude than yours.
