As mentioned at the beginning of this review, the fit of the Energy Nike Air Presto Mens felt off the first time I tried them on. The heel wasn’t locked down well and the midfoot felt a bit tight. After swapping out (or removing) the insole for a thinner one the fit is great. Snug through the heel and midfoot, and a roomy but not spacious forefoot (similar to other Newton shoes I’ve worn). Running Warehouse reports that the shoe runs 1/2 size large, but I found that a size 10 fit me fine (however, I do wear a 10.5 in a lot of shoes, including most Saucony models). You definitely will not need to size up in these.The upper is composed of a stretchy mesh that is not at all constricting, and Nike Air Max 1 Womens the interior is a smooth material that feels good against the bare foot. The interior of the heel and ankle collar is well cushioned and comfortable. There is a plastic heel counter, but no noticeable arch support with the insole www.joomlas.co.uk removed. I tried running sockless in them and got blister under the ball behind my big toe, but that could be do to the fact that I swapped in a non-Newton insole. It wouldn’t be fair to criticize Newton for that.
I’ve run 45 miles in the Newton Energy in the past 2-3 weeks, including runs of 13 and 14 miles. This is one of those shoes that disappears on my feet, and quite honestly, if I had to choose just one shoe right now for all of my runs over 10 miles this could very well be it. The forefoot is responsive enough for distance racing speed, and it’s soft enough for slow, easy miles. I’d opt for Adidas Superstar Mens something lighter and firmer for a 5K, but this shoe would handle most of my other needs without issue. I’m a big fan!Regarding durability, I am seeing wear of the anterior 1/3 of the lugs, to the point where the tread is no longer Nike Air Max Zero Femme visible. There is still a ton of rubber left though and I have found this to be typical of my experience with other Newton shoes. Wear on remaining portions of the sole is minimal.If you’re a light heel striker to forefoot striker this is definitely a shoe to consider, and at $119 it’s the lowest price shoe in Newton’s collection. These days it’s priced right within range of many other shoes in its niche, though I’d love to see the price down around $100. If you’ve been wanting to try a Newton, this would be a great place to start. This is my first time commenting here, but have used this bloga ton to make Adidas Superstar Womens shoe decisions. I have been wearing Newton distance u for years and love them. I’m intrigued by these. I never realized why I hate turning in my current Newtons and never thought about the lug placement being the reason. Would swapping Nike Air Odyssey Dames insoles from the distance work for these? And what is comparison for the distance? Did you find this shoe to run big? I used the shoefitter on running warehouse and it has me a full size smaller than my regular shoes. I would really like to try these on but no shoe stores in my area sell them-so I would be just taking a chance by ordering them.
Also, I am looking for a Nike Air Max Classic BW Mens marathon training shoe-sounds like you like this for long distances-does it still encourage proper form like the others Newtons? I was also looking into the Distance.
