If they need a RunKeeper-using, fitness tracker-wearing, quantified-self geek to do some testing - I'm their man :)

Sounds like a heck of a lot of money to be asking for just to develop an app mind?

I saw the Shoefit title, but didn't bother to click through until now.

I've purchased a lot of shoes in my time, minshoe and otherwise. In my opinion, any shoe fitting process based on biomechanics (not fashion) loses credibility instantly, if there is no potential outcome where the recommendation would be for going barefoot. Every medical test has a normal state where no intervention is needed. After all, someone out there must have feet that function well enough, not to need shoes. Otherwise, they're just trying to sell shoes (vs. assess function).

After all, is someone going to tell this guy, that he needs shoes?!
