These Terms & Conditions govern your use of The Shoe Recommender website. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
The Shoe Recommender offers shoe suggestions based on your quiz answers and our experience fitting runners. Think of it as informed guidance, the kind of thing a knowledgeable person in a shoe store might tell you, not a guarantee or a professional diagnosis.
This is important enough to say twice. Our recommendations are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, tendon issues, or chronic pain should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. Never disregard or delay seeking medical advice because of something you read on this site. The right shoe can help, but it is not a medical treatment.
Every foot is different, and no recommendation works perfectly for everyone. We don't guarantee that a recommended shoe will fit you perfectly, prevent injury, eliminate pain, or improve your performance. We strongly encourage trying shoes on and, where possible, getting fitted in person before committing, especially for a significant purchase.
Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. This never influences our recommendations. Full details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.
When you click a link to buy a shoe, you leave our site and complete your purchase with a third-party retailer such as Amazon, Running Warehouse, or a brand's own store. We don't control those sites, their prices, their stock, their shipping, or their return policies. Any purchase you make is a transaction between you and that retailer. We're not responsible for it, and any issues with an order should be taken up with the retailer directly.
Prices and product availability shown via third-party links can change at any time and are controlled by those retailers, not by us. We make no promises about pricing or stock.
The content on this site, including our text, design, and quiz, belongs to us. Please don't copy, reproduce, or republish it without permission.
The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site, from any shoe recommendation, or from any product you purchase through a link on the site.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
We may update these terms as the site grows. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.
