Review methodology

Every review starts with a product order placed by our team. We document the order date, seller, price, and shipping timeline. When the package arrives, we photograph the packaging and note any damage or discrepancies. We then inspect the product for materials, stitching, hardware, smell, and overall construction. For wearables, we do fit checks on multiple body types and wear them for at least 10 hours over several days. For sneakers, we check comfort, sizing, and durability. We compare the product to retail references when available. We use a five-point scale for hands-on scores, and scores for physically tested products can occupy the full 1 to 5 scale, including disappointing results. Each review includes a summary, score breakdown, and testing notes.

Scope of the findings

Fit and wear findings identify the tested sizes, participants and duration. Retail comparisons specify the reference used and do not certify authenticity, durability beyond the test period or every production batch.
