Newton Running’s POP-3 Platform

If you’re familiar with Newton Running you know they’ve segmented their shoes into three “POP” categories. The Energy II and Aha incorporate the new POP-3 platform (basically the gateway drug into Newton running shoes). They give you the distinctive Newton “pop” in a really subtle package.

Press Release:
Newton Kismet Named Best Performance Shoe in Running Network, LLC 2014 Fall Shoe Review

SAN JOSE, CA - Newton's Kismet took top honors as the Best Performance Shoe in the Fortius Media Group, LLC 2014 Fall Shoe Review.

"The Running Network shoe reviews have, since 1998, provided the consumer with a great series of options for finding the shoe that best fits their needs. From the tiniest of brands to the global leaders, Cregg Weinmann works hard to find you a shoe that makes sense for your feet," noted Larry Eder, publishing director of Fortius Media Group, LLC.

Hundreds of wear testers are carefully matched to shoes based on their footstrike, foot shape, and motion to start the testing process. After reporting their initial impressions, testers evaluate the shoes throughout the testing process based on seven key performance characteristics. At the end of the testing process, the data is entered into a software system developed by Cregg Weinmann, Fortius Media Group's footwear reviewer, producing a winner in each category.

"For the Fall Review, testers piled on hundreds of marathon training miles to put the shoes through their paces. This rigorous testing provides the critical feedback that validates the strengths of shoes from the various brands. The small differences between shoes are carefully compared within a matrix of features, price, and performance to determine the category winners," said Weinmann. "Runners need to recognize that the general categorization of the shoes is only a starting point for them, and their needs should be their top consideration. The parity between brands has never been as close as it is now, meaning it's more important than ever to find the shoes that fit and function best for you."

"In addition to a new configuration of the Action/Reaction membrane, the stable Newton Kismet also features new geometry with a less aggressive feel than previous versions. The upper has a snug feel from the midfoot to heel, sufficient toe-room, and a racy look. The midsole is quality compression-molded EVA with a responsive feel. A more durable rubber in the outersole, EMB (Extended Medial Bridge) in the midfoot, and tapered lugs for a smoother touchdown make the Kismet better suited to regular training than previous Newton shoes. All of this combines to form a responsive Performance trainer, earning the Kismet top honors as best shoe in the Performance category" (to quote Cregg Weinmann from the 2014 Fall RN Shoe Review).

"Comfortable upper. I like the wider toe box that these shoes offer. The Kismet has a great feel, definitely has a structured transition from heel to toe," said one wear tester, describing their experience with the Newton Kismet.

Established in 2010, Fortius Media Group, LLC is a media company focused on developing creative approaches to building interest in the sport of global athletics. The Running Network LLC was established in 1986, and has published their Fall & Spring Shoe Reviews since 1998, edited and tested by Cregg Weinmann. The Fall Shoe Review was distributed on a multi platform basis, September 1-November 1, 2014.

Mizuno Wave Rider 18 Review

If you are looking for a great neutral shoe, that is lightweight, with just a touch of support, the Mizuno Wave Rider 18 may just be perfect for you too. It has my stamp approval!

Saucony Ride 7 Running Shoe Review

Overall, the Ride 7 is a great traditional, neutral trainer that seems to be well built. It did a nice job of keeping my foot locked down while giving lots of cushion and holding up well to lots of miles.

Skora Fit Review: The Shoe I Wanted To Love

I really don’t want to give you all the wrong idea here. The Skora Fit is a well-made shoe that, for the right foot and stride, will be very comfortable and last a long time, all the while providing a zero-drop platform capable of long runs or speed work with equal gusto. Unlike the rest of Skora’s line-up, it is affordably priced at $100 MSRP. In those respects, it’s everything I should have wanted. However for my feet, they just didn’t work.

Salming Running Distance Review

it offered me great protection, a fast feeling without being to bulky and heavy. I like to feel the road when I run but at the same time I need the right amount of protection.

On The Cloud Running Shoe Review

The Cloud is a bit of an odd shoe. It looks like a fashion shoe but runs like a racing flat. I love the ride, especially when picking up the pace, but would like a bit more flash for a speed shoe. However, they are conservative enough in appearance that you can wear them out and about and not look like you’re wearing a running shoe. I’d recommend these for someone who likes a firm, flexible feel with a low-key aesthetic (with a average to narrow-width foot). The Cloud is solid offering from ON.

New Balance Zante Running Shoe Review

The Zante is my shoe of the year. I really like the Newton Fate, and have been loving racing in the ASICS Hyperspeed 6, but the Zante is the one for me. As far as feel, the Zante feels like a lighter Brooks Launch to me—super smooth transition, disappear on the feet and really, really fun to go fast in.

Skechers GOrun 4 Running Shoe Review

This is a great shoe. If you aren’t over the “Skechers” thing yet, you are missing out. Some shoes beg to be picked for a morning run. The GOrun 4 is that shoe. It promises smooth fast miles in comfort and it delivers. I highly recommend this shoe for anybody that runs and has feet.
