I love the way this came together - great execution! Congrats team. Incorporating more shoe education/ratings/social discussion into the site so that I can not only find the best place to buy a shoe, but also the best shoe for me, would be rad!

@iamjoshuascott Hey Josh! Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, good call. Even just giving you more context that the shoe you're looking at is a stability / motion control etc. would be super easy to do and could then help you make smarter buying decisions. Nice!
Imran Khoja
Hey Cat, thanks for starting a discussion! Right now, we're pulling from 17 of the top shoe vendors including Amazon. We looked at which vendors had the best prices across the most popular shoes and started there but are constantly adding additional ones.

Showing comparable models would be a good feature.
Richard Tortora
@haseeb I definitely agree, especially if we join it with the pricing data, and could confidently say "Save X dollars by trying this very similar shoe instead." We don't have that data yet, but I believe we could figure it out. Thanks for the suggestion, really dig this one!

I am glad to see you are not cluttering the search results with all the tiny stores that claim to have a pair of shoes in stock and then after you order tell you "sorry we had a problem with our stock control and the pair you wanted are out of stock". One thing that would be good to add is color choice.

edit: Just found the Version dropdown. Oops. I tried and most current generation shoes I run with aren't available. I guess that's because they don't go on sale? I tried Bondi 4, Clifton 2, Sayonara 3, and Peregrine 5.

@ayn I see your edit, glad you saw that! By default, we hope (and assume) people won't mind which version they run with simply because they can save more. You can specify which version you want with that filter, but you'll probably save less money. We recently got a suggestion to allow searching for specific models as well as general 'shoe families' from the initial search which I really like, which will help clear up that sort of confusion.

Not only is this an awesome product, Imran couldn't be a cooler dude. Congrats on the launch brother!

Great launch! Just noticed the insights program for retailers. Has that launched? How does it work?
