Hi there LetsRunners,
I'm wondering if you would share any of your experience in product testing, be that in terms of shoes/apparel or other equipment or foods/supplements and such in the running/fitness arena.
I've always had a interest in product testing. Maybe it started with responding to surveys and then getting invited to try out a product in development, and finding that I enjoyed having my input heard (and the bonus of free product). To be clear, I have also gotten compensated to answer surveys (though not always), which of course has been a motivation. I am trying to join the Xero shoes product testing group, although looking at the application, I doubt I would be considered - even give a small pool, because I'm not super active on social media, nor do I have a blog, etc. However, I do have a high enthusiasm for certain categories of footwear and related products. I am somewhere between a dork and a geek. Anyway, if you have had experiences in this context or can point me to such opportunities, I'd love to hear it.
