Ten-day wear blocks, fit checks for wide and narrow feet, cushioning durability, crease assessment
Priya Raghavan is Reviews Editor, covering ten-day wear blocks, wide- and narrow-foot fit checks, cushioning durability, and crease assessment. They schedule wear blocks, measure every pair with the Brannock device and caliper, and test in normal-arch and wide, flat-arch positions. Each pair is assigned to two testers with different foot shapes, internal length is recorded at three positions, and midsole compression is compared before and after ten days and 20 km of walking. Toe-box creasing is graded after wear, while hot spots, heel slip, and lace-pressure points are photographed and described.
