I was recently accepted to my first shoe testing program with one of the companies below. My shoes were put on a FedEx truck today and I should get them next week. I am so so so so very excited! Running shoes are quite expensive and true runners need new shoes every 3’ish months. Now I am not a true runner, but I do run. Here are some shoe testing programs:
Brooks – (possibly have to return shoes)
- Agrees to return shoes upon request
- Must live in the United States and be able to receive packages delivered by FedEx (Due to import/export duty and trade restrictions we are unable to ship testing product outside the U.S.)
- Knows personal gait category and running shoe size (if not, please visit a running specialty store to be fitted before you apply)
- Must be 18 or older
- Must have regular access to the internet and a valid e-mail address
- Able to provide detailed, helpful, and timely feedback effectively via email or phone
- Agrees to use shoes only for running during testing (no yard work, rock climbing, etc.)
- Wants to create a better Brooks shoe!
New Balance – (free shipping for returns)
- Testers wear/use the test product as often as possible for the duration of the test period according to the test instructions. Test durations can be from 1 day to 12 or more weeks, but the vast majority of tests last 6-8 weeks.
- Testers log in to this site periodically during and at the conclusion of the test period to provide written feedback about their experiences using the test product.
- At the end of the test period, the product is returned to New Balance where it is inspected and evaluated
Nike –
- Must return shoes, free shipping
