VKTRY gold insoles

These carbon fiber insoles offer protection against injuries and performance support and are ideal for every runner who wants to optimize his mobility, stability and explosiveness. Research in 2020 from the Korey Stringer Institute, supported by VKTRY, showed that their patented insoles improve the biomechanics of the lower body and the stability of the ankles and knees while running. VKTRY credits this to the curved design of the carbon fiber plate, which is designed to maximize energy return and shock absorption with every step. The insoles are individually tailored to the body size, shoe size, weight, age and type of sport of the wearer. Are you looking for a cheaper option? the Silver VK insoles ($ 119) offer great support with less customization.
