Description:

New Balance needs your feedback! 

The well-known shoe company is looking for PT and PTA students to wear test their product and provide feedback.

Once selected and after the shoes arrive, volunteer will provide feedback on:

  • The first day wearing them: first feel, fit, comfort, heel to toe transition
  • After 1 week: feel, fit, comfort, heel to toe transition
  • After 3 weeks: feel, fit, comfort, heel to toe transition
  • How do they compare to your favorite shoe and what suggestions would you have to make them even better

The first 40 people to sign-up for this opportunity will be selected. You must be a current PT or PTA student to be eligible for this opportunity. Once signed up, APTA staff will share your email address with New Balance staff to arrange for shoe testing.

Important: If you haven’t had your foot measured on a Brannock or digital foot scanner in the last 6 months, you will be asked to confirm your correct size and width by going to one of the specialty stores to get measured. You can use the store locator to find a specialty store nearest you: https://www.newbalance.com/stores/?showMap=true

Volunteers will get to keep the shoes they are testing.
