Hey guys running today meeting at the Renne Library at 6PM and running a short and fun 3-4 miles. Great day to come out if you haven’t yet!
Oboz Wear Testing: So I got an email from the product developer at Oboz (A locally based shoe company that sells shoes internationally) and he is looking for people to do wear testing on new models. Here are the details if you are interested.
Ty,
I found your contact info on the MSU Run Club site. I do development for Oboz footwear here in Bozeman. I’m looking for some sample size runners and hikers to help us with sizing, fitting, and possibly some wear testing. I’m hoping you could spread the word for me. Here are the basics:
1. Folks must measure at or very close to a true size Womens US7 (38) or Mens US9 (42). We use a standard Brannock device for measuring.
2. Testers must be willing to visit the Oboz office (5th and W. Mendenhall) an average of once a month for 30-45 minutes fit sessions. The fitting is fairly simple…try on shoes like you would in the store, answer some questions.
3. We do run an extensive field test program. Shoes are issued based on a tester’s projected use/mileage for the test period. Even if testers are not selected for field testing we still need a lot of help with the fit sessions; the more time they put in, the better the rewards. There is no monetary compensation but after consistent involvement the in-kind rewards include deep discounts, schwag, and shoes.
I would deeply appreciate it if you could pass this along to your membership. Thanks!
Dave
