2. In our lab, we measure and assess over 20 parameters for each shoe.
Getting the right pair of shoes - Comparing the results
3. Our tests are standardized, and our results are comparable.
Getting the right pair of shoes - Wear test
4. We also wear test shoes in their appropriate settings.
Getting the right pair of shoes - No bias
