How I review
Reviews are never paid
No brand pays for a review, and no brand sees a review before it goes live. If a shoe is bad, the review says so.
Every shoe is labelled
Each review shows whether I bought the shoe with my own money or the brand sent it as a free gift with no conditions.
Every shoe is run in
I run 50–60 km a week. Each shoe is tested across easy runs, faster sessions and at least a half-marathon distance before I review it, with Strava proof.
How the ratings work
Each shoe gets three scores out of 10: Ride, Design & Comfort, and Value (judged at the Indian price). The Overall score is the average of the three.
How this site earns
Some shop buttons are affiliate links: if you buy, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Commission never decides a rating or a ranking.
Sponsorships
I only accept sponsors from categories I don't review (such as fuel or races), and they are always labelled as ads.
