I know there's been a number of threads on Newton's before, but I felt the need to start another.

I had heard about the shoes down at school, a few of my friends (who run recreationally and not competitivley) run in them daily. I watched the DVD that came with the shoe, looked on their website, read some reviews etc. However, I didn't want to get them because they weren't sold in SuperRunners Shop. Ha. LO AND BEHOLD, I walked into SRS today and there was a whole new display of Newton's.

SO BASICALLY, what have you heard? Have you tried them? Good investment? Bad investment?

(The guy at SRS said he'd trust them for faster workouts but not for adding on mileage for everyday runs.)

re: Komon

I've been wearing mine for a few months. The first 3 weeks my calves were on fire - like after you run a long road race in flats. But somewhere around the 3 week mark I made a shift.

I suppose my muscles just adjusted to the shoe. They really do get you up on your forefoot. I don't know if the shoes are for everyone (someone who is a dedicated heel striker wouldn't do well in these for instance) but they are great for me and a few of my other running buddies.

A little more cash for the shoes but totally worth it for me because it changed my running form and mechanics. It is nearly impossible to heel strike in these.

Hope this helps.

What he said. My PF came back with a vengeance.

Interesting shoes, though.
