Newton Running Shoes

Running barefoot is wonderful - but not practical. Runners fortunate to have been able to run barefoot on a beach will remember the feeling fondly. No heel strike, the lightest touch-down, minimal impact, quick turnover, drive from the buttocks rather than the toes, total awareness of the ground beneath. Some call it forefoot running, some call it midfoot strike or mid foot running - it doesn't matter what you label it - IT FEELS GOOD!   But put a regular trainer on, and proprioception is lost in a sea of cushioning and anti-pronation/supination manipulation. The foot is unable to function as the guiding, load bearing, immensely strong structure it is designed to be, as now it is being artificially controlled.

UNTIL NOW

Welcome to the new world of physiological running trainers - Newton Running Shoes - setting running feet free. Designed by runners for runners to simulate the advantages of barefoot running and thereby increase performance - wherever you are.

THE NEWTON RUNNING SHOE EXPERIENCE

Newton running trainers have a unique feel as soon as you put them on - almost weightless, breathable, comfortable, stable and responsive. You have a sense of how they are going to help as soon as you stand in them.

The upper is completely vented from the 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 Running Shoes Active Membrane Technology™ allows you to land on your forefoot safely. For the record, the forefoot starts at the base of the long foot bones, which on the outside of the foot is abeam the arch.  Few shoes can come close to Newton's low 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 contact and the actuators are driven fully into their corresponding chambers (the action), then levering and propulsion come into play. As you roll off and drive forward the lugs are released (the reaction) providing energy return that in comparison to traditional foam shoes feels alive and fast.

Come along to Ten-Point and try Newton Running Shoes. If you're good, we'll let you run round the block in them. If you don't come back, we'll chase after you...and we'll be quicker! 

NEWTON RUNNING SHOES ACTIVE MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY^TM  The inspiration? Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Newton Running Shoes Active Membrane Technology replaces the foam and inherent energy loss of traditional running shoes. 

ADJUSTING TO NEWTON RUNNING SHOES

With normal running shoes you typically have to break the shoe in. With Newton Running Shoes, you have to break into the shoes. While running in Newton Trainers, your feet will sense the ground faster and right away you won't feel the need to land on your heel. If you already run with a mid-foot or forefoot strike you will notice that you are on and off the ground quicker with less harsh impact and greater forward propulsion. The faster you run the more you notice the benefits of Newton Running Shoes.

Newton Running Shoes will promote a change in running form, so your body may need time to adjust. You may have sore muscles in areas you were not utilizing before. During the Newton Running Shoe wear testing program it transpired that some runners needed no time to adapt whilst some runners required 2 to 3 runs (1 weeks time) to get acquainted with the technology.
A general rule would be to take it easy for several runs. Enjoy the new feeling and do runs of 2 to 4 miles until you have about 25 miles total. At this point you should be fully adjusted and ready to go further and faster.
