New Balance Product Testing

Hey Ryan, just signed up for the testing program.

Will NB be testing any lightweight shoes for the competitive marathoner? I've worn through my Brooks T7 Racer and am looking for something to race in this fall.

Thanks!

Any idea when those who signed up will hear anything?

I was in the last wear test program and tried the NB Zante. Too bad I was injured and barely got 20 miles in them :(

How does the site you linked differ from:

http://weartest.newbalance.com/Apply/Index.asp?Reference=GettingStarted

New balance has to testing programs?

possibly the worst website I've ever used. blank screens, wouldn't let me save my data.

Yeah you may want to get the bugs worked out. When I was trying to save my details the page froze and now won't load.

the new account page doesn't work, clicking continue does nothing

no, it's the same. there is a link to the one he sent there.

Yes, we will be testing lightweight shoes the competitive marathoner. We have our Zante line, 1400, 1500 etc.

We test all of our running products, so if we are planning on selling it, we will be testing it. On your profile you can indicate what type of shoes you run in and we do our best to find a good match.

it depends mainly on your size and activity profile. One feature of the new site is that testers will be able to view upcoming testing opportunities and opt in to the test, which makes it much easier for me as the testing analyst to select appropriate testers.

We plan to be fully using the site in 1-2 months so by late summer early fall we should have a bunch of testing opportunities posted. We are limited in the sizes we get though so if you don't see anything it could be due to your size.

Sorry for the confusion! The site linked above is an old test site that we are taking down once the new site is fully up and running. Moving forward all testing at NB will be done through product.testing.newbalance.com

Sorry you had trouble with the site! If you check this again could you let me know if you were on a mobile phone, tablet or laptop? It's really challenging to trouble shoot these type of issues because of all the different devices, browsers and operating systems.

Hi Ryan,

Went to the site, signed up, and logged in. I was filling out the info on the New Account page and even though I filled out the Address, City, State, and Zip Code fields when I click the "Continue" button it says that I need to fill out these fields and won't let me continue. I've tried it a couple of times. I am using a regular computer and Google Chrome.

Thanks

I had some trouble signing up with the phone number piece on the profile page - I couldn't enter numbers unless I copied and pasted them. Other than that no issues.

Mobile phone, windows 8, Internet Explorer :|

The site seems to be fine now.
