Dorian Vasquez
Reviews Editor
Dorian Vasquez is the Reviews Editor responsible for the fit and wear sections of each review, keeping notes on how different models compare with their retail references. His expertise covers fit testing, size conversion, and inspection of materials and construction. He records insole length in millimetres, compares the test pair with the corresponding retail reference, and carries out a 20-minute walk with the laces tied, followed by a four-hour wear test on a different day. He records heel slip, toe-box pressure and arch contact, then enters those observations in the fit row of the comparison table so readers can examine each model's specific findings.
