How we test shoes
We buy all shoes with our own money
We wear test all shoes
We cut all shoes in half
In this process, we measure and compare more than 30 metrics on each shoe, doing our best to quantify shoe reviews. Given the amount of running, hiking, weightlifting, etc., needed for these tests, it’s imperative to work with people who are very passionate about their sport. Fortunately, we have a perfect team of shoe nerds onboard who add their personal opinions from their wear-testing, which adds nuance to our lab tests. You'll find our full methodology explained here.
How we make money and how to support us
If you click through to the retailer and you buy the shoe, we get an affiliate commission on the sale. This is how we pay ourselves. It does not make the shoe pricier for you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Source
