Newton was born in America in the early 21st century and is headquartered in Colorado. Newton's chefs and developers are actively involved in running themselves and conduct interesting training sessions with novice athletes, so the company has gained unheard of popularity in a short time.
Despite its short history, Newton products are not inferior in importance and quality to many famous monsters of sports equipment and shoes. Newton sneakers have become the iron choice of many champions - participants in famous marathons and triathlon competitions.
Jerry Lee is President of Newton, and Danny Ashbier is CTO. Both co-founders of the company are active in running and promoting the sport. Sneakers are quite specific, so the creators of Newton took care of each of their customers, enclosing running instructions in each set of purchased sneakers.
Features and benefits of sneakers
An effective cushioning system that minimizes injury to athletes is a Newton asset. This irrefutable advantage over all other sports giants has made Newton one of the leaders in sports equipment sales.
The company's activities are aimed at instilling in its customers the correct and natural running technique. The company's management speaks to a variety of sports audiences to teach them natural running skills. If you learn the correct natural running technique, then the percentage of injuries will be significantly reduced, and then problems with joints and spine will dramatically decrease.
Technology
Newton sneakers are best for those who run or want to learn to run off their toes. According to some sports experts, running on the forefoot, without involving the heel, is a more natural form of movement.
Most Newton sneakers in the heel are no more than 1 cm thick, since their task is not to cushion it. Newton sneakers are made so that the main load falls on the toe. The company uses Action / Reaction technology. There are 4-5 projections in the sole of the shoe, which should be stepped on by the human foot during running. The heel is not included in the action at all.
Lightweight and breathable material is used in the manufacture of shoes. The legs are supported by a strong frame, especially in the heel. Reflective material is placed over the entire surface. The last of the sneakers obediently adapts to the shape of the foot. Newton sneakers are very bright, as the company almost always avoids dark and gray tones in its corporate style.

Customer Reviews
More recently, I switched to running with the forefoot. The transition was not painless, as the technique changed dramatically. For almost 2 months, the calves were very sore. Then the legs apparently settled down and the pain passed. To master the new technique I used Newton shoes. The running feel in these shoes is not at all the same as in normal shoes. There seems to be some ease in movement. Previously, he always stepped on the heel, which affected the health of the joints of the legs. Now my legs do not hurt, my joints are in order, and my speed has noticeably improved. After 2-3 months of using Newton, I advise you not to give up immediately, but to overcome the pain and gradually get used to a new type of running.

I will tell you my 3 years of experience in training in shoes from the Newton brand. I am a candidate for master of sports in running. Along the way, I'm doing double-event. I run with my feet on the front, somewhere almost at the toe. When the speed is as fast as possible, then I switch to a pronounced running from the toes. Conducted my own research. I also tried running from the heel.
I specially measured the time that I spent on overcoming the same distance, but with different shoes and different running techniques. Training in Newton sneakers was more productive and comfortable. The results grew steadily. I have been practicing running from the heel and running from the toe for several years. And, nevertheless, I came to the conclusion that Newton products most of all contribute to the growth of an athlete in his sports performance.
Sergei
I am a longtime Newton fan. I practice different types of sneakers for different running surfaces. For stadium training I use Lightweight Neutral Performance, and for rough terrain I use Boco At Neutral All-terrain. This is very important as it fundamentally affects the results and health of the legs. The excellent Boco At tread allows you to easily climb steep and thorny hills, and the responsive Lightweight Neutral ride allows you to maximize speed. Both sneakers can safely be rated 5.
Stas
I am a 1st class athlete in long and medium distance running. I am doing triathlon along the way. Newton shoes are very suitable for all running disciplines. I train in the Distance IV Neutral Speed model. They are very lightweight with a fast and responsive outsole for maximum timing. I recommend Newton for athletes of all ages and skill levels. At first there will be difficulties in mastering, then the legs will gradually get used to it, and the results will slowly creep up.

Review of the stunning Newton sneakers in their specific qualities. The magical design combined with the amazing colors of the company's modern sneaker series hit me on the shelves of a sports store. Due to their bright appearance, he immediately gave them his preference. But the sight of the sole, where there were 5 protrusions, scared and alarmed me. I took a chance and bought a Newton Energy NR model, so for novice athletes, sellers give advice to start with it. I watched video instructions on the Internet and tried to run.
The sensations were unusual. Gathering all his will in a fist, he trained hard for 45-50 days, trying not to pay attention to the hellish pain in the muscles of the legs. At the same time I used restorative sessions for my limbs, using massage, baths and all sorts of ointments. At the end of the second month of intensive efforts, he achieved the desired progress, and most importantly, the muscles practically stopped hurting. The shoes are very interesting, of high quality and specific, however, they are not suitable for everyone, but only for the most courageous and persistent runners in their efforts.
Alexei
My experience with Newton sneakers was unfortunate. No matter how hard I tried to adapt to the run for which the shoes of this brand are intended, I still did not succeed. My legs hurt a lot, as I got a lot of muscle microtraumas. There are no complaints about the quality of the material, since the high level of technology immediately catches the eye. It's a pity the money wasted almost to the wind, because Newton's shoes for walking are almost unacceptable. I put them up for sale as second hand.
