Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

HeelCupsis reader-supported. When you click a link on our site and buy something, the retailer or brand may pay us an affiliate commission. This never costs you anything extra — prices are identical whether you use our link or not — and it's our only source of revenue.

Brand-direct partnerships

Many of the products we review are sold directly by the brand rather than through a big retailer. For those we link to the brand's own store through affiliate networks. These links carry sponsored link attributes; the brand pays a commission after a purchase and the price you pay is unchanged.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate, HeelCupsearns from qualifying purchases. Product prices, availability and ratings are shown on Amazon and are subject to change; we don't display Amazon prices on our pages because they move too often to be accurate.

What commissions never buy

Commissions don't influence scores, rankings or verdicts. Brands cannot pay to be reviewed, to improve a score, or to remove criticism. Our methodology is documented in How We Review, and both positive and negative points appear in every review. Recommending something that disappoints you would be a terrible long-term business.
