"At RunRepeat, we conduct lab tests on hundreds of athletic shoes yearly, measuring everything from shock absorption (ASTM F1976 13) to traction (SATRA TM144).

"At RunRepeat, we conduct lab tests on hundreds of athletic shoes yearly, measuring everything from shock absorption (ASTM F1976 13) to traction (SATRA TM144). We make this data available to researchers and academic institutions to support science in footwear, biomechanics, and material developments." Documenting measurements, using machine testing, and standardizing evaluations is above and beyond any YouTube unboxing.
