6 Best On Running Shoes For Men in 2022

How we test running shoes

All the pairs of shoes on this list have been through our meticulous testing process. That means performing mechanical tests and analysis on each shoe in our RunRepeat lab. We also have our wear-testers clocking up high mileage running on each model and reporting back to us their on-foot impressions.

To make the final cut for our best selections, we strictly follow this approach:

• We purchase all the men’s On running shoes using our own funds to avoid any brand loyalty.
• We cut the shoes into pieces in the lab. We then measure 30+ parameters of the shoes from cushioning and energy return, to upper breathability, outsole, and many more.
• Our runners log 30-50 miles on average on each pair in various on-road or off-road environments.
• We collect additional info from other shoe experts and regular users.

To get the overall ratings, we calculate the scores of all On running shoes using our CoreScore. Based on the above data, the CoreScore system gives the final evaluation and assigns each model a rating that ranges from 0 to 100. The best picks are highlighted on this page.
