Why buy Newton Running shoes?

Date Posted: 21 August 2023

Wildfire stocks dozens of shoe brands. Why should you consider Newton Running shoes? Danny discusses Newton's unique technology and the main models.

 

Newton Running is not a well-known running shoe brand in Australia...but it should be! Hailing from Boulder, Colarado (USA), Newton Running creates true performance shoes that provide dynamic shock absorption, energy return, ground feel, minimal heel-to-toe drop, and lightweight comfort.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

Newton’s patented active technology delivers unprecedented cushioning and responsiveness to help you run better, faster and healthier.

Action/Reaction™

Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion states that For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton Running’s patented Action/Reaction™ Technology (ART) relies on this law to power the speed of their running shoes, giving you a boost of forward energy with every stride that you take. The active movement of the lugs creates a responsive, trampoline-like cushioning system that provides quicker bounce-back and loses less energy than a traditional foam-core running shoe.

Actuator Lugs

Newton Running shoes promote gait efficiency for people at all levels of the sport, from first-time 5k runners to seasoned marathoners. Special actuator lugs are placed under the forefoot to encourage you to land on your midfoot or forefoot instead of your heel. These strikes will get you moving on and off the ground quicker with less harsh impact compared to heel striking.

Level Platform

Over time, many shoe brands have become thicker, cushier and heavier with massive heel-to-toe drops (height differences). Newton Running shoes feature lower drops to enhance the natural running motion.

 

WHAT KIND OF RUNNER ARE YOU?
