Physical Testing

Before a new technology or material goes into a shoe, it first needs to be tested it to make sure it works for your specific needs. The researchers at STI use physical testing to study how our footwear performs under the rough conditions you put it through. Inside the physical testing lab, all of Sole Technology’s shoes and boots are tested from top to bottom, inside and out. Whether it’s traction, flexibility, cushioning, breathability, or durability, Sole Technology is the only company in the action sports industry to actively test its products to ensure we create the best possible footwear for your needs.
