GUIDANCE TRAINER
New shoes help runners make the transition to more efficient midfoot/forefoot running technique.
The newest addition to the Newton family offers intelligent control for all foot types. The ISSAC is a neutral guidance trainer designed for runners committed to improving their running form to the more efficient midfoot/forefoot running style. The Sir Isaac and Lady Isaac guidance trainers are designed for runners who want to transition their running form to a more efficient midfoot/forefoot style, but still require a supportive heel and mid-section.
How does the Guidance Trainer differ from the Performance Trainer?
- Beveled Heel and Toe: helps guide runner easily into the midfoot/forefoot
- Beveled Lugs: smoother, stable feel that is more gradual in the forefoot
- Wider midfoot/forefoot and lugs: adds stability and creates a softer feel
- Midfoot Chassis/Shank: adds support and stability
- Carbon Rubber Outersole: increases durability
- Closed Mesh on Upper: keeps small debris out
FEATURES:
Protective enough to run fast paced long training runs and reliable enough to run 5K to marathon races
Superior forefoot cushioning and propulsion
Less impact = less fatigue and less muscle damage to go farther and faster
Shoes fit true to your current running shoe size

NEWTON ADJUSTMENT PERIOD
These shoes are not like other running shoes. Even if you are a forefoot striker, you will need to adjust to them to avoid injury.
ADJUSTING TO YOUR NEWTONS
With normal running shoes you typically have to break the shoe in. With Newtons, you have to break into the shoes. While running in Newton shoes, your feet will sense the ground faster and you will want to strike the ground with the actuator lugs. Right away you won't feel the need to land on your heel. If you already run with a mid-foot or forefoot strike you will notice that you are on and off the ground quicker with less harsh impact and greater forward propulsion. The faster you run the more you notice the benefits of Newton. Newton Running shoes will promote a change in running form, so your body may need time to adjust. You may have sore muscles in areas you were not utilizing before.
A general rule would be to take it easy for several runs. Enjoy the new feeling and do runs of 2 to 4 miles until you have about 25 miles total. At this point you should be fully adjusted and ready to go farther and faster.
