We love Santa Barbara!
The Santa Barbara community is a major reason why HEELUXE, LLC is able to have a major impact on the world of footwear.

These features help us recruit testers for our human research, stay active in supporting our community, and encourage small, innovative businesses in our area. Also--big shout out to Heather Omerigic for providing a great interview in this segment! https://lnkd.in/gdrPDnWH

The best testing innovations help footwear brands make the best shoes.
How do we determine how long a shoe will last in only 5 days? Here's your answer. HEELUXE, LLC's Time Machine Mileage Forecasting testing launched in 2023 to help brands benchmark the durability of their shoes against a database of their competitors. Years of working with multiple experts from the world of shoe testing helped produce this testing process. In this short video we highlight the key steps of how we determine how long your shoe will last. The most sustainable shoe is the one you don't have to throw away quickly. Let's work together to make shoes that are comfortable and last longer. Customers and the planet will win.

Recruiting testers is a huge task when there are a lot of shoes to test. Having a large database of shoe testers is one reason why our testing is so fast. The creative and fun-loving research team figured out a new way to show run testers what it's like to test shoes at Heeluxe. Videos like these are crucial for integrating with the local Santa Barbara community. It also ensures the footwear brands we work with that they have access to the perfect testers that represent their target customer--not just the first 8 people that wear the correct shoe size. #biomechanics #shoe #testing #run #performance #comfort #innovation

Lab tours succeed in bringing people together to focus on innovative and comfortable shoes. We recently welcomed an international team from Asics who were kind enough to share their thoughts on the visit:
What do shoe brands get when they visit Heeluxe's lab? I'll let some of our recent guests tell you (the ending will surprise you!) Sho TAKAMASU is an amazing researcher with Asics Institute of Sport Science. Spending 2 days with Sho and his teammates brought both of our labs closer together. The result: better shoes. Communication always wins! Special thanks to Ken Kishimoto for his fun contribution to the video and the HEELUXE, LLC research team for welcoming all of our guests! #biomechanics #santabarbara #shoes

While HEELUXE, LLC has been quantifying shoe fit for over 10 years, the amount we are learning is accelerating at an amazing rate with SmartLast. Since many brands are interested in improving comfort, the Heeluxe research team will continue to share our findings with all that will listen, learn, and implement.
