We really want your shoe reviews and are giving away 10 pairs of shoes to prove it.

I'm assuming you get a kickback from folks that click the link and make a purchase?

Done - just did a review. I have a suggestion - Make it easier to find where these shoe reviews are. I have no idea where to look. A basic check of the homepage didn't lead me anywhere.

Never mind... just noticed you mentioned that the reviews have been offline since last year - my apologies.

I can't find this typo. Can you send me a screenshot?

Here, use Command + F:

What iss your average training pace per mile?

(I think you fixed the "injured" typo?)

I didn't change anything w/r/t to the injury typo. But I also couldn't find any mistakes. If someone sees what Jeff was mentioning, let me know.

Pushing a fix for "iss" now.

Thanks, Jeff.

FYI I had trouble submitting a review. Survey claimed I had already submitted a review for multiple models of the Pegasus (33 and 34) and I had to use an obscure version of the shoe.

Ah. I assumed you fixed it because I couldn't find it. Now I found it.

Command F:

Were you injured prior to running in this shoe?

CLICK "YES"

What was injurede?

It doesn't pop up until you click YES. That's why I couldn't find it!

I hope that helps :-)

Looks like review the pegasus 33 on 2015-12-02, which is around the last time we had this survey open. So thank you for that. That is why you got the bug.

I see your new review, too, of the Air Zoom Pegasus 33 Shield. Is that in reference to the 33 specifically? Or the 34? Or both?

Do you rate them equally? If so, the site will work best if you submitted separate reviews for each of those shoes. I could duplicate one and assign the same review to each model, if you truly think they are equal shoes.

12-2015 or 12-2016? Definitely possible I had the shoe twice and forgot i reviewed it but the 33 came out June 2016 so would be weird if I reviewed in 2015.

I tried to submit a review for Brooks Launches. When I hit submit it said that there was an error submitting. I scrolled up to the top and it said that I have already reviewed these shoes. This is a new pair of shoes for me and I know that I have never reviewed them before.

Thanks. With a second person reporting this issue, I figured out there was a bug that was preventing users from submitting reviews of already-reviewed shoes. This was supposed to prevent one person from reviewing a shoe twice, but it wasn't correctly checking WITHIN a user.

It's fixed.

every time that i try to submit it says that i had not yet selected a shoe to review even though i had. i checked and re checked that i had in fact selected a shoe and it still had the red x.

One small issue that I have is the same as the previous site/version.

This is a review of the runner and then it adds what shoes they wear.

The questions are all about the runner.

The questions should be about the shoe.

If I wanted to find a shoe on the previous site, I would always end up with the shoe(s) that I reviewed.

I would not be able to search for shoes based on...

Cushioning,

Stability,

Heel Drop,

Toe box width,

etc...

Runrepeat do it right...

You need to be able to search by characteristics, such as drop, type, weight, toe-box width etc.

Need to add an income and wife rating on the personal questions section

One minor bug,

On the height question, putting zero for the inches gave an error, "you must input a number". I had to change it to 1. I did not try leaving it blank but I assume that would result in the same error.

I hope you get a lot of reviews, because it will take a lot to make it work. In the previous version of the site there were not enough reviews to use more than two search variables and still get several matches. A few reviews don't mean anything.

How many review matches should you shoot for using how many variables? I don't know. But if you estimated how many reviews you'll need to get a minimum 10 matches from ANY combo of 4 variables, my guess is the number would exceed what you can get off LRC alone.

For example (with made up numbers), if I input that I am a forefoot striker (1/3 match), training pace sub 7:00 (1/20), 140-160lbs (1/10), and run more than 50mpw (1/8). Then odds of one match are 1/3 *1/20 * 1/10 * 1/8 = 1/4800. To get 10 matches that's 48000 reviews. Add another variable or two and that number gets big fast.

You could have a slider bars where you can select a range and broaden results. Still, I think you'll likely need reviews from outside LRC to make this thing really function the way you are imagining.

Also, I agree with the poster above, you need to pull in shoe specs. I know the direction you are trying to go, "what do runners like me wear". But two identical runners could run in vastly different shoes. The example search above could return both a narrow/firm/high drop shoe and a wide toe/soft/zero drop shoe and there would be no way to differentiate them. I think the shoe spec filters are more useful than the runner type filters. That's why it's the way all the other shoe finders work. People know at what they like.
