At bdpumps.com, we’re passionate about bringing you the best in footwear insights, style guides, and product recommendations. To keep our site running and our content free for readers like you, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how that works and what it means for you.

How Affiliate Links Work

We feature links to products and services from various retailers, including footwear brands and general e-commerce platforms like Amazon and eBay, through trusted third-party affiliate networks such as Awin, CJ, and TradeDoubler. These are referred to as “affiliate links.” If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or network.

No Extra Cost to You

The good news? This doesn’t cost you anything extra. The price you pay for a product remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s site. These commissions simply help us cover the costs of creating high-quality content, maintaining bdpumps.com, and supporting our dedicated team.

Our Commitment to You

Your trust is paramount. We only include affiliate links to products or services we genuinely believe align with our mission to provide valuable footwear insights and might genuinely interest you, our readers. However, please note:

  • We do not control the quality, availability, or policies (including privacy and shipping) of these third-party sites or products. Any issues with a product purchased through an affiliate link must be resolved directly with the retailer.
  • Clicking an affiliate link doesn’t imply we endorse every aspect of the product or retailer—it’s a recommendation based on our independent research, expertise, and editorial judgment. Our primary commitment is always to providing unbiased information.

Transparency and Trust (FTC Compliance)

We are disclosing this in full compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides. We value your trust, and it’s important that you understand our relationships.

  • Clear and Conspicuous: We strive to make our disclosures clear, conspicuous, and easy to understand. While this dedicated page serves as a comprehensive disclosure, we also aim to provide prominent notices (e.g., at the top of articles) where affiliate links are present.
  • Further Details: For more details on how we handle data related to affiliate links (e.g., through the use of cookies), please refer to our [Privacy Policy] and [Cookie Policy]. Our [Terms of Use] also cover how we provide this content “as is.”
