Our Testing Philosophy

Our unparalleled service is based on the "3 Pillars of Better Shoes"

Comfort

Finding a comfortable pair of shoes can sometimes feel like a never-ending search. That's exactly why we're dedicated to testing for comfort every step of the way (no pun intended).

Performance

We don't just want your customer's feet to feel great right out of the box, we want them to feel great for as long as possible. That means testing each shoe to the max, making sure it can stand up to all the adventures life throws their way.

Competitor Analysis

We take a deep dive into each company that partners with us, figuring out what they're doing well and where they could improve.  We help our partners stay ahead of the game and continue to create shoes that people love to wear.  We're serious about shoes, but we know how to have fun too
