Documented data instead of gut feeling
For every model we record the core technical data: cushioning technology, drop (height difference between heel and forefoot), weight in men's size 42, whether it is a neutral or a stability shoe, the available width and the fit. This information comes from the manufacturers and from reliable specialist sources.
What the editorial rating means
Our rating from 1 to 5 is an editorial assessment that summarises factors such as versatility, build quality, value for money and suitability for the target group. It is expressly not an aggregated user rating and not a measurement from a laboratory test. We do not invent star ratings and we do not publish invented assessment results.
The fit information
Probably the most important piece of information before buying is whether a shoe runs large, small or true to size. We base this assessment on the widespread experience with the respective model and, where known, point out wide widths. If in doubt, we recommend ordering from a shop with a generous returns policy and trying the size.
Prices are guide prices
We show a guide price for orientation, based on the recommended retail price. Because prices and discounts fluctuate strongly, we do not claim a best price, but link to the shop for the current price of the day. If you buy via a marked affiliate link, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.
Where we draw the line
We prefer to include silhouettes with documented data and reliable availability. We only show pure hype and limited models that are hardly available if they remain relevant in the long term as an iconic silhouette. What we cannot document cleanly, we would rather leave out.
