Born To Perform

The Elite is a true homage to the purist racing heritage of Newton. A modified version of our minimalistic racer initially only available to our elite race teams, it’s become a favorite for those looking for spike-like performance but want enough structure and cushion for fast miles.

Elevated Comfort

Designed to maximize comfort and security, the ultra breathable upper with an offset lacing system ensures an optimal fit and security to make sure you get the most from every stride.

Dynamic Performance

Newton’s technological edge lies in our proprietary Action-Reaction Technology™. The Elite is the purest incarnation of this, powered by the active movement of the 4 lugs it creates a trampoline-like effect that absorbs impact better and provides a quicker bounce back with less energy loss than other running shoes.

These are the only running shoes that iwill wear that are not minimalist shoes that are designed to provide a feeling of being bare foot. In my experience Newton running shoes always have a generous toe box, so your toes and feet aren’t crammed unnaturally and they are designed to provide what i call intelligent cushioning, so you can still feel the ground and use your foot muscles when you run. You don’t feel like you are running with excessive cushioning that feel like pillows tied to the bottom of your feet like the shoes that many running companies sell today.

best running shoe I've found for midfoot strike

low heel-toe drop plus good cushioning and light weight equals an excellent running shoe for long distance running

Amazing shoes. I’ve used these for 15 years straight (new pair every 6 months or so… lots of running).
