    Article: Barefoot Running -- according to a running shoe maker

    Thanks for this really detailed review. I have never actually tried on a pair of Newton running shoes, but based on what I've seen of them, it's hard to imagine them leading to any kind of "natural" running experience. I think scaring people about barefoot running is easily done. Before I...
