Newton Running Shoes were designed by runners for the runners to mimic the advantage of barefoot running.
Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion is the inspiration for our 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.
