What each tier is allowed to claim

The tier on a page governs what we are willing to say about the shoe. We would rather publish a smaller number than imply we measured something we did not.

Wear Tested

Measured, then worn

Weighed and measured on the bench, then worn for recorded miles on recorded surfaces. Scored on all nine criteria. The only tier eligible for the seal.

Bench Tested

Measured, not yet worn

Physically weighed, measured and stress-tested for stability, but not worn far enough to judge comfort over distance or durability. Carries measurements and an Orthotic Volume Rating — no overall score.

Spec Analysis

Not in our hands

A podiatrist's reading of the manufacturer's published specification, plus what the clinical literature says about that construction. No score and no seal, on purpose.

No brand has ever paid for a score

No sponsorship, no gifted-shoe quid pro quo, no paid placement. Where we earn a commission, the link says so and the score does not change.
