Discover what’s behind Joma’s product testing process—one that ensures maximum performance for athletes and reinforces their trust in the brand.
Each Joma shoe is the result of a rigorous methodology designed to guarantee quality, durability, and top performance in competition. That’s why subjecting its products to lab testing allows Joma to establish itself as a brand of sporting excellence, meeting the highest quality standards with certified, scientifically validated products. This approach also aims to reinforce consumer trust, providing assurance that every product carries a real guarantee of functionality, safety, and reliability.
But it all starts when the design and development team transform an athlete’s need into a tangible idea. After numerous sketches, technical specifications, and adjustments, a prototype is created that blends functionality, innovation, and style. The next step: testing.
Laboratory testing: science serving sport
Before any product moves into full-scale production or is used by an athlete in real conditions, it must first undergo rigorous lab testing. That’s why Joma collaborates with INESCOP, a leading technological institute specializing in professional sports footwear and sports innovation, where each component is examined in detail. The goal? To ensure that the product meets the highest standards of quality, performance, and safety, protecting the athlete’s health.
Tests include:
- Durability: resistance of materials to intensive use, friction, and wear
- Structural resistance: ability to withstand traction or deformation
- Outsole grip: performance on different surfaces, simulating real matches
- Impact absorption: key to protecting athletes and reducing injury risk
- Breathability: essential for maintaining temperature and comfort during exertion
Biomechanical analysis: validation under real conditions
Once technical testing is completed, it’s time for real-use testing. This phase uses biomechanical analysis to study how footwear performs under physical effort, with the aim of refining the final design. Specifically, it evaluates:
- The athlete’s gait pattern
- The level of muscle fatigue after prolonged activity
- The product’s response under stress during real motion
Thanks to this comprehensive approach, Joma provides athletes with a real guarantee of quality, reliability, and professional-grade performance.
