"With most triathlons, victory is reliant upon a lightning quick run, so it's always a confidence boost to throw on my Newtons in T2." - Chris Legh
"I have always relied on my bike/run combination to ensure most of my victories, now that I have teamed up with Newton my run has become my stand out strength. Even after 28 years of running, Newton has allowed my running to evolve to another level." - Chris Legh

What's the Buzz?

  • Went for my first run in the Gravity's this morning. Wow!! They change everything (in a great way). Maybe my biomechanics are conducive to a mid-foot striking shoe (not sure if that's the correct terminology?), but these shoes are amazing. I can't wait to log some more mileage. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. You're definitely leading the way into the future with this shoe.
