Newtons aren’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill running shoes. With an emphasis on natural running, the brand uses its patented Action/Reaction Technology to make running sneakers that promote speed and efficiency.

The Gravity is just one of the latest pieces of premium running footwear offered by Newton. Meant for use as a training shoe, the Gravity incorporates Newton’s signature Action/Reaction Technology, which offers a faster, more flexible ride, with less impact and greater energy return. The revolutionary technology is placed under the forefoot to propel the runner forward and provide smoother, more natural strides. The shoes are designed to encourage forefoot strike. For runners who are unfamiliar with Newton shoes, it may take a few steps to get used to running in the Gravitys. However, once you hit your stride, the shoes will perform beyond your highest expectations.

Sneaker Report weartesters put the Gravitys through the ultimate performance test across various surface types. The result was a shoe that can hold it’s own on virtually any terrain, including asphalt, dirt, and grass, and performs equally well regardless of the weather conditions. The shoe features a highly breathable screen mesh upper that dries instantly when wet. Its high rebound EVA midsole features an ETC anti-friction sockliner for proper support, while the carbon rubber outsole provides proper balance and footing.

Bottom Line: Great option for anyone looking for a training runner that helps improve posture and keeps body mass neatly aligned, resulting in less pressure on your knees and other joints.
