[quote=_MIKE_]I walk a lot, wear shorts 99% of the time at home and work, and live in a tropical country so this footwear suits that purpose.

How do you find the Flyknit Racers? They're a style I've always thought was pretty cool, but I've never so much as seen a pair in the real world.

Nice haul!
I got some bright green Newton Motion IVs the other day too.
If you are new to Newton, only go for a VERY short run first. Otherwise, you will not be able to walk for a while as your calves will be shot!
Like the look of them. What is the point?I got some bright green Newton Motion IVs the other day too.

EDIT: I should have posted a pic - I'm sure the colourway will have lots of fans here;
Here is the "POP1" lug design on the top of the range Newtons like the motions

Newton shoes are designed to give you a more natural running style. They have springy lugs under the balls of your feet which are supposed to deliver more energy into your stride. "Normal" trainers have a thick heel and encourage heel striking.
The thick heels were originally intended to protect inexperienced / untrained runners from their heel striking of course. It looks smart to people who don't know better, and it's become a standard feature of virtually all running shoes.Learning toe-heel-toe or 'shuffle-step' wasn't initially easy for me (way back when), but it certainly was essential.
Try running 3000m or 5000m in the old style track shoes while heel-toeing it. Certainly not good for you.
Mine were very much like these with no heel padding at all;
