EnglishWhat partnerships and data services does RunRepeat offer?
Updated
RunRepeat offers two main business-facing services: footwear testing partnerships (including prototype testing) that benchmark a shoe against its library of 1,000+ tested models, and Retailer Data Access via API, which lets retailers add reviews, lab-tested data, and specs to their product pages. Both are aimed at brands and retailers rather than everyday shoppers, and the site also lists affiliate content and shoe pipeline among its partnership types.
Footwear testing and prototype testing
This is the service for brands that want an independent read on how a shoe performs. RunRepeat states it buys shoes with its own money, cuts them in half, and assesses over 30 parameters per shoe, then wear-tests them in their appropriate settings. The stated selling point for partners is comparability: tests are standardized, and results can be benchmarked against 1,000+ already-tested shoe models.
For a brand, that means you are not just getting a review — you are getting a data point positioned against a large existing dataset. Prototype testing is listed separately, which suggests it covers shoes that are not yet on the market.
Retailer Data Access (API)
Retailer Data Access is an API that lets a retailer enhance its own product pages with RunRepeat's reviews, lab-tested data, and specs. The practical use case is a product page that shows measured values and test results alongside the standard manufacturer description, without the retailer running its own lab.
What the partnership types cover
| Partnership type | Who it's for | What it provides |
|---|---|---|
| Footwear testing | Brands | Benchmarking a shoe against 1,000+ tested models |
| Prototype testing | Brands | Testing of pre-release shoes |
| Retailer Data Access (API) | Retailers | Reviews, lab-tested data, and specs for product pages |
| Affiliate content | Partners | Content-based partnership |
| Shoe pipeline | Industry partners | Pipeline-related data or insight |
What this means if you're a shopper
None of these services change how you use the site. The consumer-facing side remains the reviews and guides: running, hiking, track and XC, walking, training, tennis, basketball, and sneakers categories, plus in-depth guides on topics like running shoe foams, energy return, breathability, and rockered shoes. The partnership and API offerings exist so brands and retailers can plug into the same testing data you read as a visitor.
If you are evaluating RunRepeat as a data source, the relevant question is whether its standardized, cut-in-half testing method matches the parameters you care about — the site's own testing process page is the place to check that before committing.
