Men's Distance 9

Outstanding shoe that I would highly recommend for quicker paces. Very light with a comfortable fit. I have a history of Achilles issues and prefer running with lightweight shoes. Ran 13 miles day after purchased and experienced no problems. Not sure if I would do 26.2 in this model but it's a fast shoe.

I had gotten away from Newton for whatever reason but decided to try the Distance again - couldn't be happier. Ran a 14 km and a 17 km on consecutive days and felt great.

I have been using Newton shoes since 2014 and have never been dissapointed. I would normally train and race in Gravity shoes and just tried Distance 9 for the first time. It is a great complement to Gravity and definitely feel more responsive and lighter at higher speeds. Great for speed work and racing. I would say it gives me around 5-10 secs per km at same perceived effort vs Gravity (2-5% faster) when running around 3'30"-3'50" min/km pace. Free PB there

I've had the Distance 7s, 8s, and now 9s. The timing worked out on this model to where I'm breaking it in as my 8s are reaching the end of their life (around 450 miles, could probably hit 500 or 550 with them). With the two break in runs I've had, the 9s offer the same light feeling and supportive toebox that I've come to know and love from Newton. I can't get too technical with my review because I just don't know/care enough about upgrades made on this model. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, I would have been slightly richer if I bought another pair of the 8s but I always prioritize making upgrades when they're available.
I use this model as my trainers and feel like they give me enough support for the miles I'm putting in (20-30 per week). To any runners switching to Newtons or this shoe in particular start slowly!! Don't switch to these and then rely on them exclusively for your miles. This shoe will make you run differently and I felt that difference in my calves when starting to use these shoes. Finish longs runs or do easy short runs to start off with these shoes. Then you can start adding mileage in them once your body is getting used to them.
I'm 5'10", 160 lbs, and normally wear a size 12. The size 12 fits me perfectly as usual, no complaints there.
I do like the color of the shoe too!

Just did an easy training session with the new Distance shoes. Even though I walk more than I run I love these shoes.
