Newton Gravity Wins 220 Magazine Best On Test

Friday, October 12th, 2012

The Newton Gravity has won 220 Magazine ‘Best on Test’ scoring 92%. Their verdict was “Invest the time, and cash, and discover good form this winter”.

At 235g the Newtons take second spot on the lightness podium but display sensible robustness for high winter milers. If you’re already a mid or forefoot striker, it instantly feels fast, springy, responsive and just right. The four pronounced mid-foot lugs provide gratifying feedback on every stride and encourage you to run well.

The amount of cushioning is spot on and there’s no sense of foot fatigue on long runs. The inner around the heel is wonderfully plush, but the fairly minimal mesh upper and inner of the rest of the shoe, although very fast drying and draining, would require some warm socks in the depths of winter. Grip is good on the road and the hard pack trails but watch out on any mud.

If you’re not already a mid or forefoot runner, it does require a period of adaptation but the winter is an ideal period for this.

You can purchase the Newton Gravity here. Retailers should contact their account manager to place an order, call 0118 932 1556.

Newton Motion Reviewed in The Sun

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

On Friday 2nd March the Newton Motion Stability Trainer was reviewed with six other stability trainers.

The Newton Motion was called the ‘Best Minimalist’ shoe. They said the shoes “feel incredibly light but still have enough clout at the base to counter your overpronation” and that they were “Premium trainers built for speed”. Read the full review here

The Motion continues to make its mark as the leading lightweight high-performance midfoot/forefoot stability trainer. With improved durability in the heel, a new high-rebound midsole material and anatomically designed forefoot strapping, the Newton Motion offers an improved ride with greater stability, durability and fit. A medial (support) post extends from the arch area to the metatarsal heads to combat early and late-stage pronation.
