Affiliate disclosure
Plain version: some links pay us, none of them change the ratings.
The disclosure
BetterShoes participates in affiliate programmes with running retailers and affiliate networks. When you follow a link from this site to a retailer and buy something, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
What it affects
It funds the site. That is the whole of it.
What it does not affect
- Ratings. Scores are computed from runner-submitted reviews before any pricing or affiliate data is attached. There is no point in the pipeline where commission could influence a rating.
- Rankings. A shoe's position in any list comes from its rating or its price, depending on the list. Never from what it pays.
- Which retailer we show. We surface the best price available in the size you asked for. If a non-affiliate retailer is cheaper, that is the one you will see.
- What gets listed. Shoes appear because we have data on them, not because of a commercial relationship.
How outbound links are marked
Links to retailers carry rel="sponsored nofollow" so search engines can tell
they are commercial, and they open in a new tab. Deal and price sections are labelled where
they are commercial.
