So good to see so many different super racing shoes in your video and you are very elite skill who can wear different left vs right foot. Appreciated !
Thanks! I am definitely not elite, but I do enjoy having several options!
Great review 🎉
Thanks!
Fun shoe off
Thanks! This was one of the weirder ones!
I got the pro 3s last month for $149!
Right now, the Pro 3 is the best value on the market!
Great no nonsence revirew; I my experiance the Puma's are brilliant at letting your level of fitness shine through but better for people with a smaller volume foot or at least a thiner forefoot, The saucony pro 3 I would say has a little more assist but the upper suites a larger volume foot (I have done a couple of marathons in both , I prefer the puma as it us more understated and just lets you run .. but it shreads my toes due to it being too narrow )
Thanks for watching!
I've been running in Newtons since their original shoe (which I still have). At the time I was skeptical but it was the only shoe that reliably minimized my knee pain after consultation with an orthopedist and insole specialist for Olympic athletes. So I stuck with them, even through the company sale and reacquisition debacle. I continued to try all kinds of other shoes from Nike to Mizuno, Hoka to Saucony (Endorphine Speed 3s were particularly awful). Other brands are flashier, but fit is mixed, and their durability is overall horrible. Most of all, I hate the high drops most of them have. I've gone back to Newton Gravity as my everyday trainers, and while they've had some model year duds, it's just the right fit for me. That said, I'm hardly a fanboy, and the CF1s just don't look or sound appealing. If you have suggestions for a midfoot neutral runner who likes 2-4mm drops, I'm all ears.
Man, 10 years ago, you would have a lot more options on the market to choose from. With that kind of drop, most brands only have one or two trainers (or racers) that would fit that description. However, most Topo shoes have a 5mm drop or less and an anatomical toe box that allows for foot splay. They range from very flexible (like the Cyclone 2, which I have reviewed on this channel) to more stiff, and they have some more cushioned models that I’ve yet to try. Altra has also started releasing some 4mm models like the FWD Experience, which I’ve also not tried yet.
For myself, I’ve been running a lot of base miles in the New Balance Rebel v4 and Hoka Mach 6 lately. Neither are 2-4mm drop-they are 6mm and 5mm respectively-but they do the job in a no-nonsense way and they stay out of my way.
The under armour velociti elite 2s have a 2mm drop, can you please review them?
Newton shoes are top quality but a concept that died when Nike invented the air pods.
I always thought the concept behind their proprietary technology was ironic. They tried to encourage what was touted as “natural” running posture by putting more technology underfoot, rather than less (like minimalist shoes of the time were doing). Regardless, a lot of people perceived performance gains. Anecdotally, at least. But I agree; the Newton tech is less relevant in today’s market.
You don't see Newton anymore.
It’s true. They really started fading about 7-8 years ago when they laid off 2/3 of their staff.
I understand their move trying to keep up from a business standpoint but knowing what Newton stand for...I think they sold out by making a thick midsole, carbon plated, race shoe...smh They should keep focusing on the lug system/minimalistic approach and try to improve on it because they will always play second fiddle to the "big boys" in the carbon plated world.
I never would’ve called them minimalistic. Quite the opposite. They might not have been maximalist like Hoka was at the time, but they tried to influence a natural style of running by putting more technology between the foot and the ground, not less. Which, to me, is noble but ironic. 🤷♂️
Your point stands though. In my experience with this shoe, the actuator lugs and the Peba/CF plate combo are not a synergistic choice.
@@thecaptainchas2820 Yea I got what you're saying. I guess I was speaking from their "Distance Elite" line...it's a racer for minimalist that I fell in love with. Yes, overall I would agree with you that "natural" is the best description and judging by your review, they have a lot of work to do!
Newtons are gimmicky trash.
