Getting in Touch With Us

General Questions

First off, if you want to talk to us about anything at all, then please reach out to us. We love to chat with our readers and we are always happy to help. We try to turn around a response in 48 hours max.

Product Review Requests

Over the past 5 years, we have reviewed over 500 products and over 400 different shoes from some of the biggest manufacturers in the world. Before we go further let me be clear that we provide unbiased and candid feedback, as well as anecdotal commentary on the equipment we rigorously test in the field. Our reviewers use the gear every day as part of their work and play and have the same expectations of test equipment as something they would spend their own money on.

Bottom line… if you can’t handle a candid review, then we probably aren’t the right place for you.

If you would like to send us product(s) for review, then please contact us at reviews@runningnw.com. We have a lot of folks reaching out to us and we cannot, of course, accommodate every request, but if we feel it’s a compelling product then we will definitely work you in. We can turn things around fairly quickly as needed to line with up with PR events and of course abide by any quiet periods. Please do plan on anything you send getting pretty well destroyed. We want to give our readers the best indication of how things perform in real-world conditions, so we test them thoroughly.

If you have something releasing in the future and want to tease it via a Preview piece, then we can accommodate that as well. If you require it to be returned to you after testing, then please include a return shipping envelope or your UPS or FedEx shipping number so we can get it back to you.
