The rule, and what it leaves out
- Heel-to-toe drop of 0 mm, as published by the brand.
- 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.
- 3 current shoes do not publish the drop, so they are left out rather than guessed.
- 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 (0 different stated sizes on this list; 7 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.
