I have been meaning to contact you guys to say thank you for all of your help with finding the right size shoe for me. I worked in retail for 15 years and have to say I was extremely impressed with your customer service. I love my shoes. I just started running one year ago and was running 5K’s. I decided to try a half marathon this year and was told about your shoes, purchased them and wouldn’t dream of running in anything else since then.
I have to tell you two things. I ran (only the run leg) the 10K portion of the MightyMan Triathlon in Sag Harbor last month (to keep my friend who did the whole event company). During the run I noticed a pair of Newtons ahead of me and struck up a conversation with that man as we ran. He is on his second pair and loves them.
I just ran my half marathon last Saturday in 2 hours 10 minutes 5 seconds. For a middle aged woman who never ran further than 3 miles prior to this July, I was thrilled. My shoes were so comfortable and my body felt like it could have kept going!!!!! Anyway, I just got an e mail with the race photos and thought you might want to take a look. Again, I found another runner wearing Newtons. I saw her as I came up to the last mile but just didn’t have the energy to strike up a conversation, I was too busy trying to maintain my pace!!! If you have a second you should go to brightroom.com, my bib number was 1547. There is a great shot of both of us sprinting to the finish line wearing YOUR SHOES. I really did sprint. It was the Hamptons Marathon race in East Hampton, NY on September 27th.
Anyway, just thought you might like to see them in action.
Thank you and happy running.

p.s. My husband also bought a pair
