They'll feel more like a regular running shoe with the expected support and cushion, but they'll give that benefit of putting you lower to the ground so you can get that support but keep your midfoot landing you've worked so hard to implement and as a result benefited you in so many ways.<br /><br />PS....Back at ya JoshRunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-20578257282268154182012-02-09T00:37:43.377-05:002012-02-09T00:37:43.377-05:00WoW! isn't it amazing to look at?!! the new lo...WoW! isn't it amazing to look at?!! the new look is design for a runner like me!

It has made a midfoot strike easier & seems to have fixed my ITB problem (knock on wood!). There is a small price to pay with these lower, flexible shoes -- sometimes my footpads & inner ankles get really sore. Do you think adding the Triumphs or new Guide 5's to the rotation would help? I was thinking that the extra padding & support would give my feet & ankles a break.

I tried the kinvara but they didn't have enough cushion for my forefoot. I'm loving my cortana best decision ever made was getting a pair of the cortanaPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851378037307779670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-76764982610673010182012-02-04T19:21:11.553-05:002012-02-04T19:21:11.553-05:00Very pleased that you posted this.

I will have to try these on for the summer for sure as mine are getting old and are close to the mile max. I know that I mid foot strike but need the more traditional shoe so hers hoping.Runnerbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476176488293338945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-32917251155786267672012-02-04T16:59:25.494-05:002012-02-04T16:59:25.494-05:00Hi Mark!,

I can go about a mile and then my feet kill me. Newtons are great shoes and several of my friends swear by them, but they just dont work with my feet. That's the thing about running shoes....one size does not fit all. That's why on the blog I try to present all sides because 8mm may work for me while barefoot running works great for my good friend Barefoot Josh (hi Josh) and the Newtons do the trick for you.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-45393646505356967722012-02-04T16:19:09.728-05:002012-02-04T16:19:09.728-05:00If going from 12 to 8 mm heel-to-toe drop has prov...If going from 12 to 8 mm heel-to-toe drop has proven good for you, why stop there? Years ago I went from my former 12 mm Brooks Adrenalines to 4mm Newton Motions, and along with a concurrent change towards a higher cadence mid-foot strike proved a Godsend.Mark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.com
