Natural Running:
Optimal Running Form

Run barefoot to discover your optimal running form. You'll discover immediately that when you run barefoot, you're not landing on your heels. Instead you are landing on your midfoot/forefoot.

Landing on your midfoot/forefoot is the most natural way to run. It is also the fastest and most efficient way to run. Newton Running shoes are the only shoes that were developed specifically for Natural Running.

Find your Sweet Spot

Adobe Flash Player not installed or older than 9.0.115!

When you walk, you land on your heels. When you sprint, you land on your toes. An optimal running gait falls somewhere in-between. Efficient running is about landing on your sweet spot. Not your heel, not your toes.

Newton Running encourages running on your midfoot/forefoot. We think of this style of running as a Land, Lever, Lift scenario.
