FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How does SoleScout work?

SoleScout tracks prices on 500+ running shoes across major Australian retailers every day. We compare each price against the official Australian RRP to surface genuine discounts — not inflated 'sale' prices.

Do I buy from SoleScout directly?

No. We're a deal aggregator. When you click a shoe, you go directly to the retailer's site to complete your purchase. We never handle payments or orders.

How often are prices updated?

Prices are checked daily. Flash sales and limited-time drops are flagged as soon as we detect them.

Are the discounts off real RRP?

Yes. We use each brand's official Australian RRP, not an inflated 'was' price. A 30% discount on SoleScout is a genuine 30% off the recommended retail price.

Do you earn a commission?

Yes. SoleScout earns a small affiliate commission when you purchase through our links at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Can I save shoes I like?

Yes — hit the heart icon on any deal to save it to your wishlist. Create a free account to access your saved shoes, set size preferences, and get personalised deal alerts.

How do I get deal alerts?

Sign up on our Deal Alerts page. We'll notify you when prices drop on shoes you care about.

Which brands do you cover?

ASICS, HOKA, Brooks, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Saucony, Salomon, PUMA, Reebok, Under Armour, Skechers, FILA, Merrell and more — with new brands added regularly.
