Newton running shoes have arrived

Ghisallo is proud to be the exclusive dealer in St.Louis to carry Newton running shoes. Newton running shoes have a unique feel as soon as you put them on — lightweight, breathable, comfortable, highly cushioned but completely stable and responsive.
The upper is completely vented from toe box to heel. Anatomical stretch panels cradle the forefoot. The entire upper is highly adjustable with an anti-friction sock liner throughout.
The actuator lugs extend from the base of the forefoot region promoting a natural running technique as if you were barefoot. Newton Active Membrane Technology™ allows you to land on your forefoot safely. Few shoes can come close to Newton's impact rating in the forefoot. When your forefoot impacts first your foot has less of an opportunity to pronate or supinate as it would if you were heel striking, minimizing injuries.
After the forefoot makes impact and the actuators are driven fully into their corresponding chambers (the action), then levering and propulsion come into play. As you push off and drive forward the lugs are released (the reaction) providing energy return that in comparison to traditional foam shoes feels alive and fast.
