Unlike foam, actuator lugs return impact energy into forward motion. Up to 67% more energy return.

The vertical displacement of the actuator lugs create greater cushioning then foam.

Less surface area spending less time on the ground equals less friction so the shoes last longer without breaking down.

Newton's Flex Groove between the metatarsals and toes allows the foot to flex as if barefoot.

Newton Membrane Technology allows the foot to respond to the ground as though it was barefoot.

Besides providing more cushioning, actuator lugs work independently so that misaligned metatarsals or leg length differences are inconsequential.

Less Weight

Newton Membrane Technology weighs up to half as much as traditional trainers. In fact our training shoes weigh about the same as a typical racing flat.

ACTIVE MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY™

When you run barefoot you naturally land on your forefoot. Newton Running shoes were developed to make your feet think they're barefoot and increase your performance.

The sole of Newton mimics your own, allowing your foot to move freely and promote a forefoot impact.

OVER TEN YEARS, EIGHT PATENTS

This has not been an easy task to bring the Newton Running program to market. It has taken over 10 years to invent, design, test and now manufacture Newton Active Membrane Technology into lightweight performance running shoes. Our technology is covered by at least 8 US Patents with other US and foreign patents pending.

NEWTONIAN SCIENCE

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.

Get the Shoes: Distancia

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.
