I recieved exactly what I was buying, shoes that will help me run forefoot without injuring myself. and have to say that I have become a more efficient runner, I won't praise these shoes as the only thing that made me run faster, but I can say that they helped. I am happy with them, as for the price, all I can say is that Nike has more expensive running shoes and they probably have worse quality than newton. About the color... mine are tennis ball green and they are not exactly good looking, but i don't really care. I bought these shoes in the hopes of getting rid of some knee pain or future injuries.

I guess in the context of trail running, I would say they are OK, but I am not a hard core trail runner, so I am not one to judge. As a road shoe, I am pretty happy (A-) with the shoe. Technically, they do what promised and I feel good running in them. My only two downsides are the price and the ugly orange. I wouldn’t say I am “not quite happy with them” as this comment says.

They have been designed over the last ten years and they have been developed “to make your feet think they’re barefoot and increase your performance”, “mimicking your own, allowing your foot to move freely and promote a forefoot impact”. Right off the bat, that sounds like good idea but the review author is not quite happy with them. [...] [...] Newton running: never heard before about these shoes or the company that makes them.
