Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The Nike Zoom Rival Distance sits about average for track spikes in our data. Looks and value are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Decent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
