Methodology
What this site does and does not claim, and how picks are made.
Where picks come from
Brand spec sheets, retailer feeds, affiliate feeds, public feedback patterns, and on-site user fit votes. Every shoe page lists the source URL and the date we last checked it.
What we do not claim
- We do not claim hands-on testing unless we did it ourselves.
- We do not make medical promises.
- We do not make safety claims without citations.
- We do not use review or rating schema unless we have a real editorial review.
How affiliate links work
We rank by fit for the job first, then by merchant offer. Affiliate payout never decides a recommendation by itself. If two shoes are equally good for the user, we prefer the better merchant offer.
Updates and pruning
We refresh top pages monthly, remove discontinued products, and merge weak pages. If a claim cannot be cited, we strip it.
