All Weather Newtons




Are your feet getting cold and wet this winter. Well Newton has the answer for you. The Motion All-Weather, is a Motion hybrid that offers Newton’s unique universal posting that accommodates all foot-types, stability and neutral. It features a wind resistant, water-repellent breathable upper, gusseted tongue, and high reflectivity for cold, dark, weather. The patented Action/Reaction Technology™ in the forefoot and heel as well as the midsole foam are specifically tuned for cold and wet temperatures. The outersole incorporates a grippy rubber for reliable traction on wet surfaces.


Also Newton athlete Josh Cox broke the American record by over four minutes on Sunday, for the 50 kilometer distance. Running 2:20.32 for the marathon distance, despite six episodes of stomach distress and two bathroom stops, Cox was ninth place at the marathon distance at PF Changs' RNR Arizona, when he headed to a local track for five more miles on the track. Finishing the last lap in 71 seconds, Cox broke a seven year old US record, set in Palo Alto,CA of 2:51.48 by Alex Tilson. Josh's time was 2:47:17.
