The Newton Running Kismet 4 running gives all the support and stability you need to keep going mile after mile. ; Predecessor: Kismet 3. ; Support Type: Overpronation/Stability. ; Cushioning: Lightweight, flexible response. ; Surface: Road. ; Differential: 4.5 mm. ; Adjusting to Newton running shoes will depend upon several factors including: your current running shoes, your running form, gait efficiency, as well as your speed and flexibility. Those new to natural running form, or those transitioning from a shoe with traditional cushioning will benefit from spending adequate time adjusting.
