Start with the
right questions.
Questions guiding the investigation. Product conclusions are still in preparation.
What does your training ask of it?
Define the intended workout and the job of the shoe or equipment. That keeps the comparison attached to training rather than an impressive-looking feature list.
What needs to keep working?
The research brief asks where repeated use could expose a limitation and what evidence would be needed to assess it. A durability question is not a completed durability test.
What earns a place in your kit?
Shoes, training equipment and smaller accessories should each have a specific purpose. We ask what an addition needs to do before comparing its price.
