What Makes Newton Unique?
Truly Next Generation
Newton’s are powered by the only active technology in athletic footwear, gender engineered, and made from the most premium and durable recycled materials. The new generation continues the evolution by adding enhanced cushioning, energy return and fit to elevate comfort and performance in ways you feel with every stride.
Comfortable & Secure Fit
Designed to make sure mile 26 is as comfortable as step 1, the new generation’s plush, secure fit starts with a gender shaped engineered air mesh to optimize comfort and security with a sleek new throat and lace configuration to help the shoe mold to your foot like it was made for it.
Action/Reaction TechnologyTM
The magic powering Newton Running shoes is the revolutionary full foot Action/Reaction TechnologyTM system. The lugs on the sole compress and rebound as you move through each stride, creating a responsive, trampoline-like cushioning system that provides greater impact absorption, quicker bounce-back, and less energy loss than traditional foam-core running shoes.
What Our Runners Think
Newton always delivers quality running shoes. I have been alternating between Distance 13 and Kimset 9, and both provide great performance and comfort—Kimsot 9 more for my recovery day and Distance 13 for long runs and speed workouts.
The Men’s Kismet 9 had a whole new feel to it, that took some time to adapt to. The ball of the foot is built up and you know it. After a week or so, it is unnoticeable. Glad I took the sales advice and ordered a half-size larger than usual. Even at that, it felt very tight. Again that 'feel' wears off and the shoe is now very comfortable. Give it some time and it will pay off as advertised.
I was looking for a Newton trainer that had more cushion, and this is it. Pleased with this shoe.
The Kismet 9 has a great appearance but also a somewhat light and minimal feel. I’m new to Newton, so not sure what I expected but there is extra rubber padded sole under the ball of the foot with these shoes giving a somewhat spring to your step. Nothing earth shattering but surprising considering the relatively small amount of a cushioned feel or real padding. I battle plantar fasciitis and these have actually helped reduce pain and allowed me to continue to run. Worth a try and a more minimal shoe compared to other brands.
Comfort, speed and stability. What more could I ask for??? Maybe this exact shoe with greater drop?
