Affiliate Disclosure

Disclosure Policy for flexsole-com

At flexsole-com, transparency is a cornerstone of our commitment to our readers. This Disclosure Policy explains our affiliate relationships and how we generate revenue, ensuring you understand the business model behind our content.

Affiliate Mechanism

flexsole-com participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on links to products on external retailer sites from our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from that retailer. These links are typically generated through unique tracking codes that identify flexsole-com as the referrer.

Compensation Transparency

It's important to understand that:

  • No Extra Cost to You: The price you pay for a product through an affiliate link is exactly the same as if you went directly to the retailer's website. Our commission comes from the retailer, not from an added cost to your purchase.
  • Revenue Generation: These commissions help support flexsole-com, allowing us to continue providing high-quality, free content, research, and recommendations on natural footwear.

Editorial Independence

Our participation in affiliate programs does not compromise our editorial integrity. We are committed to providing honest, unbiased, and thoroughly researched information. Our recommendations are based on our evaluation criteria (wide toe box, zero drop, flexibility, etc.) and what we genuinely believe offers value to our readers, not on the potential for commission.

  • Product Selection: Products are chosen for review or recommendation based on their merits and relevance to our audience, not because of an affiliate relationship.
  • Content Creation: Our content is written to inform and educate, with affiliate links added only after the content has been developed based on its own merits.

Our Reader-First Promise

Your trust is our highest priority. We promise to always put your interests first by:

  • Providing accurate and well-researched information.
  • Maintaining objectivity in our reviews and recommendations.
  • Clearly disclosing our affiliate relationships.
  • Focusing on products that genuinely align with the principles of natural foot health and minimalist design.

By being transparent about our affiliate relationships, we aim to build and maintain a trustworthy resource for all your natural footwear needs.
