Jozsef Major

Ironman Champion - 2008 Ironman Arizona

"My Newton Running shoes are so much different from the average running shoes. It was a little unusual to wear them at the first time but after about 4-5 weeks I got used to them and I love them! It really feels good to put them on and wear them. I got to love them so much that I wear my Newtons not only for trainings and races but everywhere, every time! They're very comfortable, flexible, lightweight - they fit just like gloves! I'm very happy that Newton and I found each other. I believe the Newton Running shoes helped me to get faster!" - Jozsef Major

"My Newtons have completely transformed my running. Four months ago I was the typical heel striker despite all attempts to get me on my toes. The Newtons now have me running on my forefoot and, most importantly, running faster than ever. Already this year I ran a personal road best and was over 3 minutes faster than in 2006. For me that's what matters most." - Michael Simpson

"This will be my third year running in Newtons. Not only have they transformed me into a faster and more efficient runner but they have kept me injury free. They are a true runner's shoe!" - Michael Simpson
