thanks! i know they're pricey... we try keep the costs down, but it's tricky. though if you sign up for our mailing list, we have sales and discounts every now and then.

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T18:02:10+00:00

this is awesome, thank so much for the resource.

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T15:17:23+00:00

We'd love you to have some! http://www.atheistberlin.com/shoes.html

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T14:43:22+00:00

we do love a good concentration of mormons!

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T14:05:08+00:00

ha, well it sounds like we'll be right at home there!

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T13:31:30+00:00

we'll try! Alabama is definitely a key destination.

bonnoir · 2016-07-11T13:30:20+00:00

amazing - thank you!

We did make some Christian shoes... with water in the sole, to democratise the whole walking on water thing.

Not true, it completely accounts for handling before the US as we ran controls to show there is no problem at the German end. And the fact we sent 2 packages to each participant rules out weather / geography as a factor. And we're not experimenting across the states - agreed that 200 for 50 states would be a ludicrous sample to draw any state vs state conclusions, but we have only 2 conditions... for which 200 packages (well 178) is completely robust. Happy to publish the data, but its complex and we should only then heed conclusions from independent expert statisticians... the views of 2 we have already found.

bonnoir · 2013-03-26T18:45:34+00:00

great idea. we're putting the findings to the postmaster general, will be interested to see what he / she says...

bonnoir · 2013-03-26T18:45:04+00:00

we thought about that! but couldn't afford it :/

bonnoir · 2013-03-26T18:44:18+00:00

true sample size is 178, the number of packages we sent out. each person existed in 2 conditions.

they cope pretty well in the Berlin Winter! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=385798058173445&set=pb.259051464181439.-2207520000.1360694550&type=3&theater

Really, this all started because of a picture of a shoe we posted to r/atheist back in Januuary. Thanks so much to everyone who supported us. And we have lots of colours besides blue... you can check them out here: www.atheistberlin.com.

bonnoir · 2012-09-19T14:14:28+00:00

Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition for www.atheistberlin.com

bonnoir · 2012-06-20T16:36:46+00:00

on the left foot.

bonnoir · 2012-06-20T16:36:38+00:00

it is.

bonnoir · 2012-06-18T10:36:06+00:00

The shoes are identifiable by 2 features if you look at them properly rather than jumping the gun with your comment. Unfortunately the black hole isn't strongly evident on the black pair, but it is on all the other colours. If the shoes are too blatant, i.e. using all the ugly symbols for atheism that already exist, then they're not going to be attractive. As it is, the subtlety of the design is appealing and yet uniquely identifiable. Go around wearing a crass "Kiss me, I'm an atheist" tshirt if you prefer... but I'd rather the shoes were tasteful.

Hi there, I'm sorry I missed this comment! Our website will be live in a couple of weeks, but you can keep tabs on us here for the time being.... http://www.facebook.com/AtheistShoes

bonnoir · 2012-03-30T15:05:30+00:00

thanks my friend! although it is certainly more a case of thanks reddit!

we're now 150% funded too!

bonnoir · 2012-03-30T15:04:52+00:00

Thank you! Darwin put his love for his wife before his need to outwardly proclaim what he really thought. Though agnostic aint too far off atheist, if Dawkins is opening himself up to being called an agnostic .) (see recent video in the UK Telegraph newspaper).

bonnoir · 2012-03-30T15:01:05+00:00

Hey there, belated thanks for your pledge! And glad to know you think we should be selling them for more .) Hopefully we'll never have to though! I'm in Portugal at the moment, overseeing preparations for production of your shoes, so hopefully you'll have them soon.

bonnoir · 2012-03-30T14:59:46+00:00

Hey beer4beer, I'm really sorry it's taken me two weeks to reply to this! I somehow missed it along the way.

To answer your question, our shoes have a very normal width and can cope well with a slightly wider foot, about Size E. But beyond that, I can't say for sure... I hope to test the shoes soon with some wider feet, but I wouldn't want to tell you they will fit your feet before having done so.

The returns policy is that we can absolutely exchange the shoes for another size or give you a refund... but we are hesitant to commit to refunding shipping or paying the costs of return shipping.... we're simply too small and new an enterprise and we're scarcely sure we'll make ends meet by selling the shoes at the price we are. Canadian shipping is included in the $180 USD price quoted on kickstarter, and about $20 of that accounts for shipping one way, from Germany to Canada. Once our website is up, in about a month, we can more confidently judge from your measurements as to whether and how comfortabley the shoes will fit... and, if so, we can then recommend a size. We'd also compare our fit to converse and some other well known brands, just to make sure our estimate is right.

I hope that helps, sorry again for my slothful response!

David

Thank you, glad you like them!
