I test running shoes for a living, and I love my job. I’m a keen marathoner myself, and having exciting new shoes to try out during my training helps keep me motivated to get out there and run each day. In 2025, I’ve tried out more than 65 new sneakers during my 3000 miles of running.
That’s a lot of shoes, and some of them have been pretty forgettable. Many more of those shoes have been fine — they’ve felt good on the run, but aren’t sneakers that I’ve made part of my own rotation after testing them out.
