Featured Topic: Newton Running Shoes

In this featured topic, I interview Danny Abshire, inventor of Newton Running Sheos. Newton Running products were conceived and designed by Danny Abshire through his experience as a runner and designer of lightweight custom orthotics. Working with elite athletes, Danny dreamed of creating a shoe that would help runners of all levels get back to natural running techniques. Danny has been a running coach and the Director of Biomechanics and Injury Prevention for Multisports.com since 1993. He is also a consultant with the Lydiard Foundation and received his Pedorthic training from Northwestern University. Danny not only is an avid runner but also enjoys art, camping and spending time with his wife Jennifer, who manages the Newton Running Lab, and his two sons.

Where did the idea for Newtons begin?

Are there different types or styles of a running shoe like a Newton?

What type of distances and speeds would that type of shoe be designed for?

Are there injury risks or precautions that people should be aware of if they are switching from a non-Newton shoe?

Should people put orthotics in a shoe like Newton?

Do you support the use of barefoot running?
