I didn't realize that there were a lot of runners here hacking up the hills. I have Newtons at home but I didn't like them. They aren't made for the trails I run either. I might try Zoots soon.
- kajecounterhack 16y agoI can't seem to find any real reviews of Newtons...there are so many fanboy reviews that I wasn't sure if it was worth the money so I never tried them. Hrm.
- atomical 16y agoThis is one man's opinion, but I think the way the lugs are placed at the front of the shoe compact the impact with the ground. I had been running 8-9 miles on average a day. I integrated Newton's into my routine for 1 mile every day and at the end of the week I was having pain and had to take some time off.
- davidwparker 16y agoI've had Newtons for a month now and they are definitely different. They've definitely worked out my calves and other lower leg muscles a lot more than my Brooks. If you're not already a mid-to-fore foot runner, than they'll definitely be painful. I do a lot of trail running, and I can't say they weren't made for trails. In fact, I prefer them for trail running.
