What this means for you
When you use an affiliate link on The Foot Facts and make a purchase, the retailer (for example, Amazon, Zappos, Boot Barn, or Walmart) may pay us a small percentage of that sale. The price you pay does not change.
Affiliate links do not influence which products appear in our work boot guides or how they are ranked.
Why we use affiliate links
- They allow us to operate independently without selling ad placements or rankings.
- They cover essential costs such as hosting, analytics, and research tools.
- They help us maintain and update guides first published in 2019 and expanded each year.
How we choose products
Our product selections are based on structured comparison, verified specifications, and worker feedback. Commission rates do not determine placement.
Some products we recommend do not offer affiliate programs. We include them when they meet our criteria for fit, durability, and safety.
Affiliate partners
We participate in affiliate programs including (but not limited to):
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
- Walmart Affiliate Program
- ShareASale network partners
- Impact Radius network partners
These programs use standard tracking technology to attribute referrals. This data helps us understand which guides are most useful to readers.
Our commitment to transparency
- Affiliate relationships are disclosed near the top of relevant guides.
- We do not accept payment for placement, ranking, or “featured” status.
- We do not remove negative information at a brand’s request.
- Sponsored content, if ever published, is clearly labeled.
Legal statement
