A Better Planet, One Step at a Time

A Better Planet, One Step at a Time

3 April 2025

At Newton, every month is Earth Month. First and foremost, our mission is to make shoes that are equal parts good for your next run and good for the next generation of runners. We are always innovating our materials and practices with the planet in mind. 

What does that look like? We are glad you asked. 

Every pair of Newton Running shoes contains seven recycled water bottles. The bottle of water you are drinking today might be the shoes you are running in tomorrow.

Since Newton's inception in 2007, every pair of shoes has been made with certified vegan materials. That means there are no leathers, suedes or animal byproduct adhesives in our shoes. 

Newton's office and warehouse are powered by wind energy. Every year, Newton avoids releasing 15,000+ pounds of C02 into the environment by using the energy from two megawatt wind turbines.

All packaging is made of 100% recycled materials. Nearly 90% of all packing and materials that come through the Newton warehouse and office are recycled and reused.

This Earth Day we are a more sustainable company than we were last Earth Day. Next Earth Day will be even better. Thank you for joining us in our ongoing journey to make the world's best shoe, for both runners and the planet.
