How it ranks
The Newton Gravity 6’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 4 runner reviews so far, with product line history also informing the score.
Bottom-tier

What runners say
“The lugs always wear flat too quickly; I've even had lugs fall off the shoe.”
“Nothing springy about the Newtonium foam.”
“I can drop sub-5 pace in these no problem at the end of a long run.”
“Have yet to have a pair make it past 350 miles.”
“Combines good feel, cushion, and responsiveness.”
“The problem is the lack of support with these shoes.”
“Nearly an ounce heavier than previous versions.”
“Perhaps best used as a racing flat or track shoe, not for everyday training or long runs.”
