FAQ

Based on the page type and available product data.

How many running shoes should a comparison include?

This site only publishes list pages when at least five eligible products have specs, offers, and review-source coverage.

Why do prices differ by retailer?

Retailers update prices and stock on different schedules. The pipeline keeps each offer separate so cheaper or in-stock merchants can be surfaced.

Do affiliate links change the ranking?

No. Products are ranked from specs, price, availability, and review signals before outbound affiliate routing is applied.
