New Balance Wear Test Program - If you'd like to test drive New Balances' latest shoes and apparel head over and apply for their Wear Test program. They are currently looking for adults & children. If you are selected as a Wear Test candidate, you'll receive prototype products to wear and test out for a specified period then you let them know what you think. NOTE: You won't get to keep the products that you test, but you will get to use them for the duration of the test (usually four to six weeks).
