Stuart Jenkins
Founder at BLUMAKA
"I think I have introduced 6 to 10 customers to Heelux and every single one has come back and thanked me.  In the world of footwear labs its like moving from black and white to color TV."
"We learned so much throughout the process and were able to make product improvements from our learnings that we would have never found through the “normal” wear test and product testing procedures. I highly recommend Heeluxe if you are looking to build the best footwear possible for your customer."

"The SmartLast technology really gives us a way to help understand the perceived fit of a shoe by quantifying the upper pressure.  This gives us the ability to focus and fine tune upper fit."

"Our design and development team confidently make decisions to improve our shoe's performance with Heeluxe's reports. Their database lets us see how products improve with every update."
"Every study we have run with Heeluxe has made us a smarter, better product. We would not be here today without the Heeluxe team."
