About the project
Why RunningRecs exists
Running shoe reviews are scattered across Reddit, YouTube, shops and forums. RunningRecs puts those experiences in one place and lets runners add their own.
A shoe that works for one runner won’t work for everyone. Knowing someone’s mileage, gait, foot shape and how far they’ve gone in a pair often tells you more than a score on its own.
Runners, not promotions
No sponsored rankings. No paid placements. No ads, affiliate links or sales. Ratings come from runner submissions, and external comments stay separate from those ratings.
A work in progress
RunningRecs is new. Runner submissions are moderated before publication, web reviews link to their sources, and shoe specifications come from the brands’ published figures.
Adding your experience
You don’t need an account. Reviews are held for moderation before appearing publicly. Write about shoes you’ve actually run in and be specific about what worked for you.
Your privacy
An alias is optional. If you leave an email address, it is stored privately with your submission and never included in public reviews. Leave it blank if you prefer.
