How we test sneakers

Before we make our recommendations, we take into consideration a lot of essential factors. First, we subject all the footwear on the list for meticulous go-over and scrutiny. After gathering crucial data, we perform the tests involving days of wearing the shoes in day-to-day activities and traveling.

Here’s a rundown of the Tops we went thru to identify the best ones:

  • Put in our time, energy, and funds to perform the test for the reviews. We don’t accept sponsorship to preserve the objectivity and integrity of our reviews.
  • Wear-test all the designer shoes thoroughly. It means subjecting all sneakers to the wear and tear of use, engaging in athletic events, and all-day wear.
  • Gather insights and hard data about a particular model’s fit, weight, break-in time, cushioning, lacing system, arch support, versatility, et cetera.
  • See to it that all recommendations are based on real-life tests and honest reviews from dedicated testers.

Lastly, we publish the top rankings of all the men’s designer sneakers in the database. See the CoreScore for a quick overview of the highly rated models.
