Newton Running Shoes

A note from your StrideUK Performance Analyst...

Order a half size up from your normal running shoes! 

Because of the way Newton Running Shoes are designed to make you run more mid and fore-foot, you will find yourself running with more weight on your toes, so will need more room up front. The Newtons do come up smaller than normal running shoes, we do highly suggest going a half size up. If we happen to be wrong with your sizing suggestion, we will exchange it very quickly and easily.

Alongside other trainer styles that StrideUK recommends, StrideUK are pleased to announce that we are one of the exclusive stockists of Newton running shoes in the country. Whether training or racing, Newton Active Membrane Technology™ provides greater shock absorption, greater energy return while promoting the natural and more efficient strike of mid / forefoot running.

If you wish to book an appointment time with us at StrideUK, at no cost, we'd be happy to show you how they work and let you try them out for size. With the radical design of these trainers, we do promote however that Module 1 - 2 Video Gait Analysis would be ideal to test whether you are compatiable with them.

NEWTONIAN SCIENCE

Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion is the inspiration for the Newton Active Membrane Technology. Replacing the foam and inherent energy loss of traditional running shoes.

Action: When you forefoot strike with a Newton running shoe the actuator lugs stretch a membrane as they are pushed from the outer sole into the chambers of the mid-sole. This replaces the foam/air/gel used in the outer and mid-sole of traditional running shoes.

Reaction: As you begin to push off after striking, the membrane returns to its original shape pushing the actuators out from the mid-sole and returning the energy into forward propulsion.
