Newton Shoes Review

By now I had hoped to have interviewed Danny Abshire, man behind the revolutionary Newton running shoes and be inundating you with technical detail, the story of the seven patents behind them, a podcast and so on... but things have got in the way.

Newton Shoes and Forefoot Running

http://www.yourrunning.com/blog-at_last_shoes_made_for_forefoot_runners

The running shoe industry is obsessed with promoting the idea that a "natural" gait involves striking the ground with the heel first. Almost every shoe is over-designed, over-engineered and over-technologised in an effort to make "heel to toe" transition as easy and as painless as possible. Well, I've never been a heel striker. And if you watch elite athletes you'll come to the same conclusion as me; 90% or more of them are NOT heel-strikers either.

At last! Shoes made for forefoot runners!
Posted by simon on 4/9/2007 on simon's blog
New Distance Racer from Newton.

Part of the problem with the latest crop of aches and pains (see my previous blog about 100 mile weeks) is that I need new shoes.

Not only are most of mine (I rotate them like crazy) getting worn, but my strength and flexibility has been steadily improving over the last six months and as a result my body is dealing with ground contact in new ways.

I'm a forefoot striker, which has always made foot choice difficult. An inflexible, high-arch type to boot. And I supinate, rather than pronate. Lately I've started noticing I am landing even MORE on the edge of my right foot than ever, while the new strength in my feet and ankles seems to be making the left foot land "differently" -- to the extent that I'm getting Achilles soreness.
