Brooks Ravenna 3 = newton?

I wanted to add that this was the first time I actually went to a running store to get fitted. I remember the lady telling me to walk barefoot back and forward while she was watching. My question is how accurate is the analysis of my gait by just watching me walk? They had me on a treadmill to try all the shoes but did not provide me with more feedback on my running.

Why would you switch to a shoe you've never worn when the Revennas are working for you?? What makes the Newtons so appealing to you? (besides their awesome marketing and cool looking shoes) 

When I had my gait analyzed they recommended two shoes for me; the Newtons and the Revennas (this was before the Revenna 2's and 3's) Since I wasn't sure how much I was going to get into running I went with the more affordable pair, the revennas. They were the first shoe that I really loved to run in...When it was time to get into another pair I knew that I was going to be a runner. I figured there was so much hype about the Newtons and it was a shoe that was actually recommended to me that I would give them a shot. Long story short, I couldn't get more than 15 miles in them before I had to take them off. I was getting so frustrated because I was training for a marathon and couldn't finish my long runs that I started a thread in here and asked for help and almost backed out of the race. The advice was simple: "if you felt great in the Revennas, go back to them." I immediately had a pair overnighted to me and took them on a 20 mile run right out of the box.

The moral of the story: If you love the Revenna 3's (like I do) don't switch.
