Donald Buraglio from Ultra Running writes: "The category of running shoe insoles has been revolutionized in recent years, with advances in material construction and customized assessment methods. Runners now have access to products that approach a quality only previously found via podiatrists and deliver numerous performance benefits. All of this comes at a more affordable price point with a much easier customization process.
The benefits of sports insoles are diverse and may appeal to runners for a variety of reasons. Performance benefits include enhanced energy return, propulsion and ground stability, while comfort aspects include greater shock absorption and reduced foot and lower leg fatigue over long distances. Some runners will be drawn to them for corrective biomechanics to help support injury prevention or recovery. And with such a widespread range of benefits available, some insoles emphasize their specific construction aspects over others in the development of their products. Such is the case with two brands we have tested extensively over the past few months: Kila and VKTRY."
