The Kayak of running shoes: structured specs and price comparison for 1,200+ models across major retailers, in six languages.
Runometry is a running shoe knowledge base and price comparator that calls itself the Kayak of running shoes. It catalogs 1,200+ shoe models from major brands (ASICS, Brooks, HOKA, Nike, adidas, Saucony, On, Mizuno, New Balance, Salomon, Topo Athletic and more) with structured specs like weight, drop and stack height. Shoes can be browsed by category (daily trainers, max cushion, stability, tempo, racing, trail), and the comparator refuses to match shoes that are not genuinely comparable — matchup pages like Brooks Ghost 18 vs Mizuno Wave Rider 30 are generated from the catalog. The site also publishes guides and data articles, and is fully localized into six languages (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, NL). The business model is affiliate commissions with no display ads, and the author's editorial rules state AI-generated content is reviewed by him before being treated as fact. The whole project — a catalog build that would have taken a small team months — went from first work to live in about 3 days.
