Newton Running Shoes

By Anneke Hak

These shoes are designed by runners, for runners to mimic the advantages of ‘chi running\' (or barefoot running to me and you). Their special technology encourages the runner to run on the forefront of the foot, which is what happens when we run barefoot, rather than the heel, which can cause deceleration and injuries.
