I know… I can’t help it, I am totally OBSESSED with Newton Running! Anyway their 2013 line of running shoes became available yesterday. I am really excited to buy a new pair of the Distance U. However, I was unsure if I needed a new pair of the Gravity or not. So I posted photos of my shoe’s lugs on their facebook page and this is what Newton had to say about them.

I have had them since September! I have raced 2 races in them, The Army 10 miler, and the Annapolis Half Marathon. They have a little over 400 miles on them. – dorseyml

• Newton Running Quite good! You could probably get another 1-200 miles out of them and maybe even more if you can tighten up your gluteus medius, relax your ankle and land with your foot a bit more even on the ground rathe than so far out on the lateral side.

First of all, I want to Thank Newton! When I posted photo’s of my shoes on their facebook page, they immediately responded. I didn’t think they would get back to me that fast, but they did.

Also they gave me amazing advice! I  was confused on how many miles my shoes were capable of having. Everyone is different, and I had heard that you can run in these shoes for twice as long as traditional running shoes, but I was still unsure. I am so glad they cleared this up for me. I also have been really focusing on my running form. So for them to notice from the wear on my shoes, that I need to tighten up my gluteus medius, and relax my ankle a bit,  is brilliant. I will work on this, so it will better my form and make me a more efficient runner.

Thank You Newton Running!
