I have a wide foot so this was the best fit for my foot. Yeah no more blisters. Just ran a 1/2 marathon in them and my legs and feet felt great. I will not run in anything else!

After doing some research and reading a few books, which included some on barefoot running and proper form, I bought a set of Newtons. Within the first week I felt so great wearing them that by day 8 I had logged 106 miles going strong. Newtons concept of forefoot running is spot on in my opinion, if you run barefoot, you may run the first 5 min heeel to toe form until your body will naturally tell you "hey this kinda hurts!" and your body will compensate and run with proper mechanics; ie forefoot stricking, with shorter strides etc. The Newtons with more tech and cushin up front force you to land.level and lift which is great. For me someone that was already stricking correctly and had good mechanics it just ment more support and better feel. I have also increased the pace at which I run. The calf workout for the first few times running can be intense but I love iot knowing its just making me a stronger faster and more efficently profound runner.

Everyones gait is differant though so if you've had years of running in a certain way in a certain shoe, it can take a long time to get use to. I've always been a mid foot runner with relatively short stride and fast turnover so I adjusted really quickly to them.

I know that I've had bad experiences with shoes before that cleared up when I went back to an old trusted shoe. When you ran in a newton running shoe, did you try to follow their suggested running form, landing more on the ball of your foot than on your heel? That’s very interesting.

I did some PT, and saw a sport med doc, and they all thought I shouldn't run in those shoes and that they could be contributing to my knee problems. I tossed them, and haven't had knee problems since, so maybe it was related. I bought Newtons abotu 2 years ago – then within a few months I had lots of knee problems.
