I am a distance runner. This past Marine Corp marathon 2011 was my 15th marathon. I started wearing Newton Gravitys in May 2011. My weekly mileage was no greater than it had been prior to the Newtons. I initially loved the Newtons. In July I went for a 22 mile run--again not out of the norm for me. My feet had felt fine before the run--I had not experienced any foot pain--but afterwards I could barely walk. I am pretty sure I suffered metatarsal stress fractures in both feet. I emailed Newtons specifically asking them if other people have complained of similar injuries. They did not answer, but emailed me a lengthy explanation of why through natural inclination or improper training I could be injured. I am very curious if there is a correlation between Newtons and metatarsal stress fractures--maybe also with high weekly mileage. In response to KTHOM

I hope that others will read this and avoid the problems I encountered when starting running in Newtons. In my opinon adaptation is the key. I was quite dismayed to read at the start of this blog that "proper running form brings you down on your heel first" Evolution running and Chi running would have something to say about that! Maybe that works for some people, but that is not the way Newtons are designed to work. Prior to running in these shoes unsure you are proficient in the forefoot/mid foot running technique. Don't pull on a pair of Newtons and expect them to miraculously change your running style. Secondly, work into them very slowly, a couple of kilometers a day for a week no more. Thirdly, don't run on a treadmill with them. It was interesting to read that someone else suffered injury running on a treadmill with Newtons, as I gave myself a stress fracture of my third metatarsal on a treaddie in Newtons. And it re broke it again on a treaddie again in Newtons. If you are not a proficient forefoot runner invest in Chi running or Evolution running prior to a pair of Newtons. Once your technique is sorted out slap your hard earned down for a pair of the best running shoes in the business.
