FAQs

The ranking is based on aggregated user sentiment from Reddit. It aims to show which Trail Running Shoes are the most well reviewed.


Ranking factors:

  1. The number of positive user sentiments
  2. The ratio of positive to negative user sentiment
  3. How specific the user was in their reference to the model

Scoring mechanism:

  • Each user contributes up to 1 "vote" per model, regardless of no. of comments on it.
  • A user's vote is less than 1 if the user does not specify the exact model - their 1 vote is "spread out" among the possible models.
  • More popular models are given more weight (to account for the higher likelihood that they are the model being referred to).

Score calculation for ranking:

  • We combine the normalized positive sentiment score and the normalized positive:negative ratio (weighted 75%-25%)
  • This score is used to rank the Trail Running Shoes in descending order

Our data includes Reddit comments and posts from the past 1 year from 12/5/2025, to keep rankings fresh and relevant.

We continuously crawl Reddit for discussions on Trail Running Shoes across all subreddits. Each comment and post is analyzed to identify specific Trail Running Shoes models and brands, and then a sentiment analysis is performed to gauge user satisfaction.
