Wear Footle in your normal routine
Use the pair for the ordinary standing, walking, sitting, commuting and changing pace in your day.
Footle Research Programme
Help us learn how a daily shoe works in real life.
Footle is selecting a small number of people in Switzerland to wear a current pair in daily life and share short, honest feedback.
If selected, you receive a pair at no cost. Applying does not guarantee selection or a pair.
This is product research, not a purchase, preorder or paid endorsement. Positive feedback is not required.
Apply for Research
What Footle wants to learn
A real day tells us more than a short indoor try-on.
We want specific comparisons from ordinary walking, standing, sitting, commuting and changing pace, including moments when another shoe works better.
Share short, honest feedback
Tell us what works, what does not and when you choose another shoe instead.
Complete two short check-ins
We will ask for one early response and one later follow-up over roughly two to four weeks.
What participation requires
Selected for learning, not for endorsement.
- Use the pair in the ordinary situations you applied for.
- Compare it with the daily shoe you already wear most often.
- Complete two short check-ins over approximately 2-4 weeks.
- Tell Footle early if the fit or experience does not work.
- Positive, mixed and negative feedback are equally welcome.
- No public post, quote, photo, video or endorsement is required.
How it works
One application. Four clear steps.
We review each application against current product-learning needs, available sizes and our ability to follow up properly. Network size, job title and positive opinions do not determine selection.

Manual review
Footle reviews the application against current learning needs, available sizes and follow-up capacity.
Confirm privately
If there is a current match, Footle confirms the exact pair and delivery details with you by email.
Wear and report back
Use the pair in real life and complete two short check-ins over approximately 2-4 weeks.
Owner and operator applicants
Run or work in a shop, studio, practice or small business?
You can apply as an individual tester. Footle first reviews what we could learn from your own daily use. Any later conversation about your team or shop is separate.
Before you apply
Questions, answered
Does applying guarantee a pair?
No. Selection depends on current research needs, available sizes and Footle's follow-up capacity.
Do selected participants pay for the research pair?
No. Selected participants receive the research pair at no cost. We ask for the agreed short feedback instead.
Do I need to give a positive review?
No. Honest positive, mixed and negative feedback are all useful. Participation does not require a public review or endorsement.
Is this an affiliate programme?
No. The Research Programme is for product learning. Any later referral or affiliate conversation would be separate and optional.
Who can currently apply?
The current round is for people based in Switzerland who can personally wear the pair in ordinary daily life and complete the follow-up. Owners and employees of small businesses can apply as individual testers.
What happens after I submit?
Footle reviews applications manually. If there is a current match, we contact you by email to confirm the exact next step. Do not send an address or private information unless Footle asks for it later.
How does Footle use my information?
Footle uses the application to review Research fit and contact you about its outcome. Marketing updates are a separate optional choice. We do not ask for medical details or automatic content rights in this application.
