Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 1 June 2026
RUNSHOEINDEX is a community-powered running shoe deal platform. Some links on this site are affiliate links, when you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. These commissions help us keep the site free to use, cover the cost of tracking prices across UK retailers, and fund the work of building new features for the community.
Community independence
Affiliate relationships have no effect on deal rankings, voting, or moderation. Deals are submitted and voted on by the community. A deal's hot score is calculated from community signals, upvotes, downvotes, claims, comments, the size of the discount, and how recently it was posted, with flagged or expired deals pushed down. No retailer can pay to promote a deal or influence its position.
Retailer transparency
The destination retailer is always shown on every deal page before you click. You always know where you are going. Affiliate links redirect through /out/deal/ on our servers before reaching the retailer. This is how we track clicks for analytics and apply affiliate tracking where applicable.
Link attributes
All outbound deal links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer" in line with Google's guidelines for affiliate and paid links.
Price accuracy
Earning a commission never changes the price you pay, and it does not change which prices we show. We track prices at major UK retailers daily and surface community-submitted deals, but our coverage is partial rather than complete, so always confirm the final price and your size on the retailer's website before you buy. If you ever spot a price on the site that looks wrong, please let us know and we will correct it.
