7 Best Minimalist Sneakers, 100+ Shoes Tested in 2022

How we test sneakers

Identifying the truly great quality sneakers requires serious wear tests and micro-level analysis. As self-confessed sneakerheads, our team of wear testers and analysts is up to the task. Each model in our database is meticulously examined to its minutest details. Here is exactly our approach:

• We buy the minimalist shoes with our own money for testing. This is because we don’t want any brand to influence our reviews. We want 100% transparency.
• We bring the shoes to our RunRepeat shoe testing lab for a thorough examination of everything about the shoes – the quality of materials used, outsole, softness of the midsole, etc…
• We clock in hours of wear-testing each model exhaustively. We take every model for days of wear and tear performance test to be able to provide a comprehensive review of its fit, comfort, durability, and many more.
• We also check the feedback from other independent testers and sneaker enthusiasts.

To end the process, we assign a final score for each model utilizing our CoreScore system. All the models will show a rating from 0-100 depending on their performance during the testing process.
