Disclaimer
Stryde Footwear makes footwear. We are not a clinic, our shoes are not medical devices, and nothing we publish anywhere — this site, our ads, our emails, our customer reviews — is medical advice. If something is wrong with your feet, the person to ask is a qualified healthcare professional who can examine you.
Part one — Disclaimer
Article 1This is not medical advice
- 1.1Everything Stryde Footwear publishes — on this website, in marketing material, in customer stories — exists to inform you about our products. Nothing more.
- 1.2None of it constitutes professional medical advice, a diagnosis, a course of treatment or a prescription, and it should never be read that way.
- 1.3Our footwear is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition. That includes, among others, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, bunions and any other condition affecting the feet.
- 1.4For guidance that accounts for your own situation, speak to a licensed healthcare provider. There is no substitute for that.
Article 2Results differ from person to person
- 2.1Plenty of people, including some living with foot problems, have got on well with our shoes. That is not a promise that you will.
- 2.2What happens for you depends on how severe your condition is, how your feet are built, your wider health history, and whether you follow the guidance that comes with the product.
- 2.3Those variables sit outside our control, so we cannot promise any particular result to any individual.
Article 3When to speak to a professional first
3.1 — If you already live with a medical condition, get advice from a healthcare professional before wearing our footwear. This matters particularly, though not only, for neuropathy, diabetes and circulatory conditions.
3.2 — Only a licensed provider can weigh up your medical history and your current health and tell you what is sensible for you. We cannot do that, and we will not try.
Article 4We guarantee no outcome
- 4.1Stryde Footwear gives no guarantee that any product will be effective against any particular condition.
- 4.2We work to describe our products accurately and we share the experiences customers report to us, but what happens for one person turns on factors we can neither see nor influence.
- 4.3We therefore make no prediction about your results and offer no guarantee of them.
Article 5Limits on our liability
- 5.1By using our products you accept that Stryde Footwear, its affiliates and its agents are not liable for damages of any kind arising from that use, whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential.
- 5.2That covers personal injury, complications involving a condition you already had, and any adverse effect caused by wearing the footwear other than as intended.
- 5.3Where local law does not permit a limitation of this kind, our liability is limited only as far as that law allows.
Article 6What reviews actually represent
6.1 — What they are
Every review and testimonial on this site describes one person's own experience of wearing our shoes, in their own words.
6.2 — What they are not
They are anecdotes. They are not evidence of a typical outcome, not a clinical claim, and not a result we are promising to anyone else.
Part two — Legal information
Article 7Regulatory position
| Clause | Where we stand |
|---|---|
| 7.1 | Our footwear is designed to meet the regulations and standards that apply to it. |
| 7.2 | It is not classified as a medical device, and is not registered, approved or certified as one anywhere. |
| 7.3 | It is not a replacement for professional medical care or advice, and must not be treated as one. |
Article 8Intellectual property
- 8.1The content, trademarks, designs and other intellectual property used by Stryde Footwear are protected under copyright and trademark law.
- 8.2Using any of it without our written permission is prohibited.
In closing
We are genuinely proud of what our customers tell us they have got out of wearing our shoes. But pride is not proof, and a good shoe is not a treatment plan. Go in with realistic expectations, take it steadily if you are switching from conventional footwear, and if you have an existing condition, talk to someone qualified before you start. That is how you get the best out of the product and keep yourself safe doing it.
