FTC Disclosure Compliance
In 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) updated its guidelines for affiliate disclosures. These rules are designed to ensure that readers and viewers of digital content are aware when a blogger or content creator is being compensated by a brand or company. As a reader of ShoeTalks, please assume the following about the links and posts on this site:
Some of the links on https://shoetalks.blogspot.com are affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you click on these links and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you click on an affiliate link from this blog, you’re taken to a third-party website (like Amazon or another shoe retailer) to make your purchase. If you buy a product through that link, I may receive a small commission as compensation.
Whether you use my affiliate link or go directly to the website, the price you pay remains the same.
Types of Affiliate Programs Used:
-
Amazon Affiliate Links
ShoeTalks is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This affiliate advertising program allows sites like mine to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites. -
Other Product Affiliate Links
I may also promote products from other shoe retailers or brands through affiliate partnerships. If you purchase through those links, I may earn a commission.
Sponsored Content
At this time, I do not publish sponsored posts. My goal is to provide honest and unbiased reviews and recommendations. If a company ever sponsors a post on this site, I will clearly disclose it at the top of the article.
My Commitment to You
I only recommend shoes and products that I have personally used, researched, or would genuinely suggest to family and friends. Your support through purchases made via these affiliate links helps me continue running this blog and sharing useful content.
Thank you for your support — I truly appreciate it!
