Our Grading System

How we calculate comfort scores

We analyze thousands of real reviews from multiple e-commerce sites to create comprehensive comfort profiles for every shoe. Our AI extracts comfort-related mentions and aggregates them into scores you can trust.

What We Measure

Arch Support

How well the shoe supports the natural arch of the foot, including plantar support and relief for flat feet or arch pain.

Wide Fit

How well the shoe accommodates wider feet, including toe room, width comfort, and suitability for bunions.

Blisters

Risk of causing blisters or rubbing, including break-in period, heel slip, hot spots, and overall friction.

Breathability

How well the shoe ventilates, including airflow, mesh materials, moisture wicking, and prevention of sweaty feet.

Plantar Cushioning

Cushioning under the sole of the foot, including padding, shock absorption, and whether it feels soft or hard underfoot.

Ankle Support

Support around the ankle area, including stability, lateral support, and prevention of ankle roll.

Toe Constraints

Comfort in the toe box area, including whether toes feel pinched or have adequate room to spread naturally.
