Josephine Bulman on carbon fibre insoles through a basketball season
Basketball strength coach Josephine Bulman describes what the carbon fibre insoles did for her recurring aches and her movement.
They’ve been a game changer for reducing those nagging issues we all know too well (patellofemoral pain, plantar fasciitis, etc.) and they give me that extra POP when I accelerate or jump 💥
Adding VKTRY insoles to the Nike PG 6
Pro hooper ls_hoops explains why he paired the insoles with his Nike PG 6s.
as comfy as the PGs are, they lack torsional support so I brought VKTRY insoles to counter that.
Using the insoles inside preferred cleats
The Players Academy describes using the insoles inside lighter cleats:
now I'm able to use the victory insoles to put them into my cleats that I prefer for the footing and they allow me to be stable and powerful out there and just help out really explosively.

From the standpoint of just being a little bit more twitchy on the field
these things definitely provide a little more pop. And for me a small undersized guy I try to take every advantage that I can get
when I'm out there. I mean if it gives you an advantage then that's what I'm going to take. Anything just to reduce ground contact time like getting out fast and explosive. I think especially in my sport reacting to guys that would be hugely beneficial. So for me taking face offs I think the problem I found with a lot of cleats is you're somewhere between a big bulky one where you have the push off of and I like lighter cleats to be faster and now I'm able to use the victory insoles to put them into my↑ quoted above
cleats that I prefer for the footing and they allow me to be stable and powerful out there and just help out really explosively. Agility, you feel the difference when you put them on.
Summing up her season after adding the insoles to her routine, she says:
this season has hands down been my most pain-free yet!
She also notes a broader benefit:
They’ve been great for general joint pain
