A leader in natural running, Newton believes that maintaining natural running form without being barefoot requires a shoe that allows the foot to connect with the ground as though it is shoeless. Any geometric change interferes with the natural gait, which is why every shoe is built on a level platform that mimics the foot's natural geometry. Unhindered, flexible movement is essential, as long as the shoe is still protective enough to prevent injury over harsh terrain. So who are Newton running shoes for? They are for runners who are already midfoot or forefoot strikers, as well as those who are working on transitioning from heel striking to a more natural running form.
