Subject: Newton Trainers?
So I went out and bought my first pair of Newtons yesterday. Ended up going with the Newton Trainers, mainly because the difference of weight between the trainers and the racers was pretty insignificant to me. Its kind of weird running with them as of now (Ive already put in two runs with them) and have a quick question. I think the salesperson gave me a size too big. The heal fits just fine with no movement, but it seems like there is a little too much space in the toe area. I know that Newtons have that space on the front that hits you right along the ball of your feet, but it seems a little lower than what it should. Is it ok to have some extra space in the toe area? Or should I just go back to the store and get the next size down? Thanks guys!

I'd contact Newton with that question, they have very good customer service, and nobody will give you a more accurate answer than they will.

I had the same question after wearing them for 2 years, called and spoke to the women in charge of customer service and she gave me some tips to check.

I brought my new and old pair with me to IM Canada and visited the Newton booth. They spent a lot of time with two different folks who looked at my wear pattern and checked my new shoes on my feet. I have short toes but turns out my shoe size is right.

The key is to have your metatarsals hit the middle of the lugs.
