Shoes are a daily purchase with real consequences. Readers want to know how to pick running shoes for flat feet, whether expensive sneakers are worth it, how to break in leather boots without blisters, and which work shoes are comfortable on a 12-hour shift.
Our Footwear Write For Us page is open to podiatrists, shoe designers, cobblers, sneaker enthusiasts, stylists, and writers who can give buyers honest, practical guidance. If that’s you, WorkPrices would like to publish your work.
What we want to publish
Buying guides. How to choose shoes for specific needs: running, walking, hiking, work, travel, wide feet, high arches, or standing all day. Fit, sizing, and what to check in store.
Sneakers and athletic shoes. Technology explained plainly (cushioning, drop, stability), model comparisons, and when to replace running shoes.
Foot health. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, blisters, overpronation, and diabetic foot care. Please say clearly when readers should see a podiatrist.
Style and occasion. Sandals, boots, loafers, heels, and formal shoes, plus how to match footwear with outfits and seasons.
Materials and craftsmanship. Leather grades, vegan alternatives, soles, stitching methods, resoling, and how to spot quality.
Care and maintenance. Cleaning suede, removing odor, waterproofing, storage, and repair tips that extend a shoe’s life.
Kids and special needs. Shoes for growing feet, school shoes, orthopedic footwear, and adaptive designs.
Industry and sustainability. Recycled materials, ethical manufacturing, resale culture, and shifts in the shoe market.
What a strong pitch includes
- A specific problem, such as “best shoes for nurses with heel pain”
- Real testing or hands-on experience, with details on how you tested
- Honest trade-offs, including who a shoe does not suit
- Original photos showing fit, wear, or construction
What we decline
We don’t accept claims that a shoe or insole can cure foot conditions, or advice that replaces a podiatrist’s diagnosis. Unverified performance claims, undisclosed brand partnerships, and articles that read like ads are rejected. Sponsored posts, paid reviews, and affiliate-heavy roundups are not accepted.
