with strappy sandals for upcoming events or swap out for chunky trainers if the vibe is more casual | How we decide which shoes we buy
Keep in mind that we buy the shoes with our own money once they are widely available. We don’t have special contracts with brands or retailers that would get us shoes in advance.
An inside look at a race that showcased the pure joy and raw emotions of running:
- How important is the shoe? We combine both the value and sort of the shoe. Some shoes, like dedicated mud shoes, never get nearly as popular as a Clifton but are highly relevant for the running community.
- Is the shoe available in men’s US 9? If not, we wait until it is.
How we decide which shoes we test next
- We batch shoes by category. There are some variations in the type and number of tests we do for each category, so we don’t mix them up. This means that sometimes less popular shoes are tested together with very valuable/popular shoes.
- If the weather is really bad, we might focus on shoes that can be tested indoors (like gym shoes).
Shoes we do not test
We do not test shoes that are made for sports categories outside of our scope. That means we don’t test shoes that do not belong to these categories: running, track, cross country, basketball, training, tennis, walking, hiking (shoes, boots, sandals), trainers.
We do not test shoes that are released as a variation or a collaboration. We usually focus on the OG model. So if there’s a new release that comes with an updated, more sustainable upper, recycled materials, or a collaboration, we stick to the OG shoe. We also don't test the discontinued models that we simply can't buy.
How much time does it take to test a shoe?
with strappy sandals for upcoming events or swap out for chunky trainers if the vibe is more casual purchased, it takes at least 3 weeks before the review is published (ultra-popular models). 95% of shoes are reviewed and published within 10 weeks. We generally prioritise running shoes above other categories, so most of them go live within 6 weeks.
with strappy sandals for upcoming events or swap out for chunky trainers if the vibe is more casual in the testing phase, it will be live in 2 weeks' time 50% of the time, and 80% of the time it will be done within 4 weeks, approximately.

In that case, it can sometimes take a little longer to get it live.
