Subject: RE: Newton Shoes? if you want to change your running stride such that you're landing mid-foot to fore-foot, then Newton's will certainly do the trick... in fact they pretty much force you to, as the reward for heal striking is a shock. I used them for a while and took advantage of their 30 day money back guarantee. I'm happy with my current stride and found them too stressful on my achilles- which is my weak link. I also found them really difficult to run down steep hills in, as you can't brake with your heels. Plus, I was in the middle of marathon training and I didn't want to mess with what was working. that said- they're really pretty cool in how they work. there's certainly something to them. be careful tho. you might really like them- and they're very expensive. |
