Footwear testing / Prototype testing
Benchmark your footwear / prototype against 1,000+ tested shoe models for product teams or marketing teams.
How it works
Our footwear testing service allows you to do anything from a single shoe tested in a single test to our complete prototype testing and even to long-term partnerships that will enable your entire organisation to send us samples as you like and get instant results on your product development.
- You decide what footwear tests you want us to conduct
- You send us the shoes that you want us to test
- We conduct testing and return results within 2 weeks
What you will receive
All test results are shared in spreadsheets so you can compare and filter your shoes easily.
- Full test data for your specific prototype.
- Average test data for the category your shoe fits into.
- Custom benchmark segments, e.g. "daily running, road, $120-160, neutral". Segments can be based on any filters (and more) that you see on our overview of all running shoe reviews.

*Note: comparisons are only made with publicly available shoes.
