Improve Your Running Style

To discover your best running form all you need to do is run barefoot. You'll immediately discover that when barefoot you're not landing on your heels, you're striking on your forefoot.

Striking on your forefoot is the most natural way to run, it is also the fastest and most efficient way to run. Newton Running shoes were developed to make your feet think they're barefoot and increase your performance.




Your Running Sweet Spot

When you walk, you land on your heels. When you sprint, you land on your toes. Running is in between. Efficient distance running is about landing on your sweet spot. Not your heel, not your toes. Newton Running encourages running on your midfoot/forefoot, a technique and position that helps keep you running more efficiently, injury-free and faster, no matter the distance.
