Affiliate Disclosure
Flat Feet Shoe Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
What this means for you
Some links on this site — including "Check Price on Amazon" buttons — are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission. This does not change the price you pay. Amazon's pricing is the same whether you use our link or navigate to the product directly.
How this affects our recommendations
It doesn't. Our review process and ratings are based on first-hand testing and research, not on commission rates. We do not accept payment from brands in exchange for positive reviews, and we do not manipulate ratings to favor higher-commission products. When a shoe has a real drawback, we say so, regardless of how it affects a potential sale.
Why we do this
Running an independent site takes time — research, testing, writing, and maintaining accurate content as products change. Affiliate commissions help cover that time and keep the site free and ad-light for readers. We believe this is a fair, transparent way to fund independent reviews.
Identifying affiliate content
As required by the FTC's guidance on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationship on any page containing affiliate links, including this notice and short reminders near relevant buttons and product sections.
Questions
