Family sought 10 test shoes for research program
Heinz Rollmanister, a refugee inventor from Nazi Germany, invites an average American family to test slippers, work shoes, or sports shoes for four months at his Wellco Shoe Company plant in Waynesville. The family will include mother, father, and two children with specified sizes and weights. They will undergo footwear wear tests, wet and dry conditions, and gait analysis to identify heel and toe issues, with pay of 154 dollars monthly plus free shoes if they pass.
