First pair was free but I won't run in anything else since

4/5

Overall

About 3 years ago I won a raffle for a free pair of trainers. I could pick from any shoe at a local specialty running store. I thought I would be picking out HOKA Cliftons but thought I should at least try on some of the other shoes. I just loved the fit/cushioning of the Newton. I get 500+ miles per pair vs 400 which I used to get on Nike Pegasus.
