This disclosure applies to all content on WrestlingFitLab.com, including reviews, comparisons, buyer guides, and any other pages that contain affiliate links.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track when a visitor clicks through to a retailer and makes a purchase. If you buy a product through one of these links, we receive a small commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Wrestling Fit Lab participates in affiliate programs operated by retailers and brands in the wrestling shoe industry. These programs allow us to earn a commission when you make a purchase through links on our site.
Affiliate programs we participate in may include, but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates
- Direct brand affiliate programs (Nike, ASICS, Adidas, RUDIS, etc.)
- Retailer affiliate programs (WrestlingMart, etc.)
Our Commitment to Honesty
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. This is non-negotiable.
Here is how we operate:
- We buy every product we review with our own money. We do not accept free products from brands.
- Our scoring system is based on measured data (caliper widths, weight, grip testing), not affiliate commission rates.
- We recommend products based on fit and performance data, not which brand pays the highest commission.
- If a product scores poorly, we say so — regardless of whether it carries an affiliate link.
- We do not accept payment for placement in "best of" lists or reviews.
Where Affiliate Links Appear
Affiliate links may appear in:
- Product reviews (individual shoe reviews)
- Comparison articles (head-to-head matchups)
- Buyer guides ("best for" roundups)
- Shopping guides (where to buy, deals pages)
Every page containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice above the first monetized link, in compliance with FTC guidelines.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and conspicuously. The FTC requires that material connections between endorsers and advertisers be disclosed. Our disclosure statements comply with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).
How This Affects You
You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your purchase price.
In some cases, using our affiliate link may even give you access to exclusive discounts or promotions that are not available when visiting the retailer directly.
No Sponsored Content
Wrestling Fit Lab does not publish sponsored content. We do not accept payment from brands to write favorable reviews, create comparison content, or feature specific products in our buyer guides.
