Facts about Newton shoe

went running lab to try the newton shoe and to rem the size and model so ahnan can help me buy. At first i like not try then not buying it as it's just not my style to do that.. but after hearing a lot of bullshiting from the salesman and the "know it all" knowledge.. he claim that newton shoe are made for forefoot Striking but it's isn't. did a research and claim that it's a midfoot/forefoot technique. OMG after hearing he say that i just tell myself, try the shoe and get the size and that it.. bye bye to him..



Find your Sweet Spot

When you walk, you land on your heels. When you sprint, you land on your toes. Running is in between. Efficient distance running is about landing on your sweet spot. Not your heel, not your toes. Newton Running encourages running on your midfoot/forefoot, a technique and position that helps keep you running more efficiently, injury-free and faster, no matter the distance. We think of this style of running as a Land Lever Lift scenario.

Newton running shoes have a unique feel as soon as you put them on — lightweight, breathable, comfortable, highly cushioned but completely stable and responsive.

The upper is completely vented from toe box to heel. Anatomical stretch panels cradle the forefoot. The entire upper is highly adjustable with an anti-friction sock liner throughout.

The actuator lugs extend from the base of the forefoot region promoting a natural running technique as if you were barefoot. Newton Action/Reaction Technology™ allows you to land on your forefoot safely. Few shoes can come close to Newton's impact rating in the forefoot. When your forefoot impacts first your foot has less of an opportunity to pronate or supinate as it would if you were heel striking, minimizing injuries.

After the forefoot makes impact and the actuators are driven fully into their corresponding chambers (the action), then levering and propulsion come into play. As you push off and drive forward the lugs are released (the reaction) providing energy return that in comparison to traditional foam shoes feels alive and fast.
