Newton Running Men's Distance

What Makes Newton Unique?


Men's Distance side view

Enhanced Cushion

The new midsole formulation of next gen NRG™ and Hytrel® foams combine to deliver outstanding impact absorption and rebound compared to other forms, while improving on the amazing responsiveness the Distance is most known for.

Elevated Comfort

The highly breathable open weave mesh is designed specifically to the anatomical structure of a man's foot to optimize the interaction between foot and shoe and make you more comfortable, secure, and positioned for the best possible performance.

Evolved Performance

The XPS plating system is an evolution to our Action Reaction Technology™, the secret sauce powering Newton. Generated by the active movement of the lugs in/out of the midsole, it creates a springy cushioning system that provides a quicker bounce back with less energy loss than typical running shoes.

Phenomenal

I've been running in Newtons for about 10 years now. And, exclusively in Distance Elite for since 2018. With all the talk about "super shoes" these days, I decided to give the Distance 12 with the performance plate a test ride. I immediately felt the enhanced response. I was pretty shocked to be truthful, I wasn't expecting to feel much difference. I guess my beloved Distance Elites will have to share time the new Distance 12! Great job design team, you hit this one out of the park. Thanks, Brian

I’ve been wearing Newton running shoes for the last eight years. I’ll be honest I have tried other shoes and I always go back to newtons.

Nice Running Shoe

I am truly impressed by this shoe. I am looking for long distance running shoes with less mid foot drop and have been using Saucony Kinvara 13 for my recent marathon which are excellent running shoes with mid foot drop of 4 mm but slightly more cushion than I like. I also use Xero shoes for my everyday work/ walk and short runs. Newton is a perfect balance. 2 mm drop with slight amount of cushion. Also get a good bounce when running which is a plus. I have been starting to run 10-13 miles in these shoes and they are very comfortable. Planning to run my next marathon in these shoes in October. Feels very light. Toe space is excellent. The fact that the top is made from recycled plastic is another plus. It does feel a little stiff in the beginning but then it gets better very quickly. Overall very pleased with the shoe.

Great to be back!

Jumped back in with 10 miles then followed up with the Missoula Half. Responsiveness and fit are awesome!
