I really like the Newton Gravity. It is light and I seem to have been able to avoid knee issues in the past. The shoe is a little bright for my taste. I also usually buy the last year's model online instead of paying a very expensive full cost.

A decent shoe. Traction is not good when the ground is wet (during or after rain). I do like that it reinforces running form so I use it in recovery runs when I am tired.
