    New Balance Shoes wear test
    I applied about a month and a half ago for their wear test program, and today I just received the shoes! And from searching of the models available it looks like this one is brand new MT700 shoe, I am excited as I only wear New Balance.

    Requirements

    Adult Testers - Applicants must be at least 18 years old
    Got a sense of adventure, a passion for a sport or activity, a willingness to use prototype products, and the ability to provide constructive written feedback? You may be qualified to test our products! Consider becoming a tester if you meet the following requirements:

    * You have internet access and a valid e-mail address; each adult applicant must have their own unique e-mail address;
    * You can read and write in the English language;

    Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!
    Also note: The footwear, apparel or accessory tested by me remains the sole property of New Balance and must be returned upon request.

    Requirements for becoming a tester:


    Quote :
    Footwear Size Information
    You MUST be professionally measured with a Brannock Device.

    What is a Brannock Size?

    A Brannock Device is a foot-measuring tool. The Brannock Device measures heel-to-ball of forefoot length, heel-to-toe length, and forefoot width. It converts these measurements into a suggested shoe size. When applying to become a tester, please indicate the length of your longest foot and the width of your widest foot. Select About, then FAQs for more information.

    That's one of those foot measuring things at the mall. Go and get measured before filling out the form. You'll save yourself some time and trouble.

    Link to the tester FAQ:
    http://weartest.newbalance.com/Learn/Faq.asp?


    * As with the Nike shoes testing program, please be aware that these shoes may come with special numbers or markings on them. Some people have been upset that the shoes are not always fashionable and must be returned. Returned shoes are examined and compared with your reports about comfort and durability.

    Joining this program requires you to return ALL products sent to you

    This is a great program enjoyed by thousands of testers,
    but it does require a commitment from you,
    so PLEASE read all information in the LEARN MORE section
    before submitting an application! Thanks!!

    No I havent and I scoured my inbox and spam and trash and nothing, pretty suprising when I got them. I didnt think I would be lucky to get in

    on the application page it has many categories open for wear testing so maybe a good chance for others

    If you wrote in your application that you surfed the deal forums all day, rarely getting any excercise, then you might be an ideal candidate. LOL

    Does that mean we have to return the shoes. If that is so, I don't see any point in doing this, unless there are rewards.

    Well, if you were a athlete, or like me, sick of paying out the behind for kids shoes, even if you have to return them, the benifit is in not having to PAY for shoes that get worn out quick.

    My roomate was runner, and he would wear out a good pair of running shoes every few months. Soeaking of him, I think I will send him the link, lol

    I have always wanted to do this but it's not a very good freebie if you have to RETURN THE SHOES!

    I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself.

    Yeah I was wondering if you get some kind of *thank you* after the test period. It would be nicer though to get a pair of those you could KEEP!

    smart thinking....you know those little feet grow so fast, she will outgrow them before they wear out....plus they charge a fortune for good infant/toddler shoes !!!

    if they are paying for it, I don't mind having them to wear for awhile.
