The sports sneaker company Newton started its activity in 2005. Its headquarters is located in the US state of Colorado. The founders and staff of Newton regularly run themselves and conduct interesting training seminars with novice athletes, which is why the company has gained resounding popularity in such a short time.

Features and benefits of Newton sneakers
Why are they special and what are their advantages over the rest of the sports shoes in this category? The thing is that Newton discovered at the beginning of the XXI a completely new philosophy of running. More precisely, it revives the correct principles of natural running. This process uses exclusive Action / Reaction technology. This unique feature is not found in other popular sneakers.
Newton shoes are designed for natural human movement. The company's principled view is that natural running is toe running. During the beat, the foot steps on the toe and forefoot and pushes off the ground with it. Therefore, on the front of the sole of Newtonian sneakers, there are 4-5 protrusions, on which the main emphasis of the foot goes. At the same time, the heel is almost completely turned off from running work.
A unique cushioning system that minimizes injuries to athletes is an undeniable big plus for Newton. This unrivaled advantage over all other sports giants has made Newton one of the leaders in selling its products in the entire running space of the planet. The company instills natural running and teaches the correct biomechanics of the athlete's movements to all customers and visitors to its stores.
Even the leaders of this American brand are involved in this process, who themselves conduct training seminars. If you learn the correct running technique in Newtonian sneakers, the risk of injury will be significantly reduced. With a smooth and soft run in these shoes, there will be no pain in the spine and leg joints, as the load on them will be significantly reduced.

Tips for choosing shoes
When choosing sneakers, you should be guided by the following factors:
- The surface of the ground and the surface on which you are going to run.
- Physiological characteristics of a person, such as weight, pronation, etc.
- Distance and running speed.
- On which part of the foot is the foot positioning - on the heel or toe.
Choose your running shoe based on where you prefer to run. You can run through a forest, stadium, highway, dirt road, mountains, sand, etc. It is best to combine different surfaces. Always running on the asphalt will be unhealthy, since when running, the blows of the foot on it are strongly felt for the joints and the spine.
Even the world's most famous athletes try to build their training on different types of coverage in order to protect their legs from diseases. First of all, it is health. Better to take two pairs of sneakers, for example, for the forest and the stadium. For jogging in the woods, it is better to use sneakers with a pronounced tread, belonging to the "off-road" category.
Physiological personality traits will also affect which running shoe you should buy at the store. Basically, sneaker manufacturers classify runners up to 65-70 kg into the first category. The second category includes people from 70-75 and above.
Very few people run with a weight of 120-150 kg, since running here is more likely to harm than benefit. People with this weight should start with walking and exercise, in order to lose weight, and only then, start slow running. Heavy-weight athletes are advised to wear trainers with thick soles as this will enhance the cushioning effect of the shoe.
Modern manufacturers of sports shoes pay great attention to the type of foot pronation. A flat-footed runner should definitely wear sneakers with foot support elements.
Running shoe manufacturers have options for both distance runners and sprinters. If you intend to run a marathon distance in 3 hours, and sneakers with light weight will make your progress easier, then you can use the models designed for this. Newton has plenty of these super lightweight models.
If you like toe running that looks more natural, then Newton has a good selection in this shoe segment. American engineers have tried their best here.
It is recommended to take the size 1 larger than the one you usually wear. This is due to the fact that the foot warms up during running and expands by several mm. And it's better to try on running shoes in a store in the evening, when your leg is slightly swollen, under the influence of constant daytime stress.

At the very first fitting, the shoes seem very comfortable, which fits perfectly on the foot. The inner seams are almost flat and not felt. You get used to an unusual sole in a few days. Muscle pains from the inclusion of other areas in the work gradually disappear.

I bought sneakers on the recommendation of an experienced athlete, master of sports in running. I ran in regular sneakers from Japanese manufacturers, stepping on the toe, thereby preparing myself for Newton. By doing this, I have shortened the period of adaptation to new technology sneakers. After changing shoes, the results and running speed increased. If you buy Newton, you will not regret it.

This was not my first purchase of Newton sneakers. This time I decided to take Boco AT Neutral for running through the forest. Running on wet trails is a pleasure. They have excellent grip on this surface. Feet dry and clean in socks after running. I run in various city and regional trails with great success and pleasure.
