Accessibility

At Shoe Clarity, we believe footwear information should be accessible, understandable, and useful to as many people as possible.

We are committed to improving the accessibility and usability of our website, ShoeClarity.com, so visitors with different abilities, devices, and assistive technology needs can access our footwear guides, research-based reviews, and educational resources.

Our Approach to Website Accessibility

We aim to create a clear, accessible browsing experience for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, or other assistive technologies.

Our ongoing accessibility goals include:

  • Readable Content: Using clear language, meaningful headings, and organized page layouts to make information easier to follow.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Working to ensure important website features, links, and navigation controls can be accessed without relying solely on a mouse.
  • Alternative Text: Providing meaningful descriptions for informative images where appropriate.
  • Color and Contrast: Considering text visibility and color contrast when designing pages and interactive elements.
  • Responsive Design: Supporting access across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.
  • Descriptive Links: Using understandable link text that helps readers identify where a link leads.
  • Consistent Navigation: Maintaining a predictable website structure to make footwear information easier to find.

These are ongoing goals, and we recognize that some accessibility barriers may still exist.

Accessibility Standards

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a reference for improving website accessibility.

These guidelines provide recommendations for making digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

Although we aim to follow relevant accessibility practices, we do not claim that every page, feature, or piece of content currently meets all WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria.

We intend to review accessibility issues and make reasonable improvements as our website develops.

Possible Accessibility Limitations

Despite our efforts, some parts of Shoe Clarity may not always work as expected with every browser, device, or assistive technology.

Potential limitations may involve:

  • Images or visual elements that need improved alternative descriptions.
  • Third-party forms, embedded content, or interactive features.
  • Navigation or layout behavior on certain devices.
  • Older content that may require accessibility improvements.
  • External websites reached through affiliate or reference links.

We aim to identify and address accessibility barriers as they become known.

Third-Party Websites and Affiliate Links

Shoe Clarity may include links to footwear manufacturers, online retailers, research publications, and affiliate partners.

These external websites operate independently and maintain their own accessibility practices.

While we aim to provide clear and descriptive links, we cannot guarantee the accessibility or functionality of third-party websites, checkout systems, or external content.

Reporting an Accessibility Issue

We welcome feedback that helps make Shoe Clarity more accessible.

If you experience difficulty accessing a page, using a website feature, or understanding content because of an accessibility barrier, please let us know.

You can reach us through our Contact Page.

When reporting an issue, it may help to include:

  • The webpage URL where you encountered the problem.
  • A brief description of the accessibility issue.
  • The device, browser, or assistive technology you were using, if relevant.
  • The information or feature you were trying to access.

Please share only information you are comfortable providing.

We will review accessibility-related feedback and consider appropriate corrections or alternative ways to access the requested information where feasible.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing part of maintaining and improving Shoe Clarity.

As we publish new running shoe guides, walking shoe comparisons, work footwear information, and other resources, we aim to keep accessibility and usability in mind.

We recognize that accessibility improvements may be needed over time and welcome constructive feedback from our readers.

Thank you for helping us make Shoe Clarity more useful and accessible.
