? How we decide

The rule, and what it leaves out

  • Sold by the brand as a stability (support) shoe; every other shoe we track is recorded as neutral.
  • Only current shoes whose specs we have checked against cited brand or retailer sources are listed. Discontinued shoes link to their replacements from the all-shoes table.
  • 17 current shoes are still being verified and will be added if they meet the rule.
  • Weights are as each brand publishes them, at its own reference size (3 different stated sizes on this list; 15 weights have no stated size), so small gaps may come from the size rather than the shoe.
  • Brands can't pay to be listed. Methodology.
