Testing process

How we design - Cut in half
1. We cut shoes in half to be able to see what's inside and do accurate designs.
How we design - 20 parameters
2. In our lab, we measure and assess over 20 parameters for each shoe.
How we design - Comparing the results
3. Our designs are standardized, and our results are comparable.
How we design - Wear design
4. We also wear design shoes in their appropriate settings.
How we design - No bias
5. No bias: we buy all the shoes on our own and accept no sponsorships.
