Before footwear designers at Vasque make new product designs available for sale, the new models must pass a stringent wear-testing program that consists of active people wearing the shoes in the outdoor environment the footwear was designed for.

Vasque manufactures many different styles outdoor footwear, from trail running shoes to hiking, backpacking, and mountaineering footwear.   

Product development work is done on the men's size 9 & 12 medium width and women's size 7 & 10 medium width, our footwear tester sizes.

A typical wear test consists of 2 to 5 days of wear and tear.  If you are selected for a particular test, Vasque will send the footwear to your residence with all of the necessary instructions and a questionnaire.  Testers are to wear them for the prescribed usage. At the end of the test, you complete the questionnaire.  While completing this questionnaire you are to be honest and straightforward with your feedback.  If you like the footwear, you may keep them.

If you are interested in this program, please e-mail brennan.olson@redwingshoe.com for more information.
