263 D1 Athletes at four major universities. Why did athletes experience less injuries
with VKs? See the independent clinical research below.
with VKs? See the independent clinical research below.
THE SCIENCE
6-month PH.D. led study by The Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut
The knee is considered especially vulnerable in the lower extremity
kinetic chain. VKs decreased frontal plane knee joint excursion (lateral
movement) with test subjects. Less joint excursion equates to improved
alignment during running and reduces abnormal knee joint load. Even a small variation in knee alignment can result in stress on the ligaments and degenerative damage to the knee.
VKTRY Insoles allowed the test subjects to decrease the degree of dorsiflexion (loading up) to perform the necessary work in plantar flexion (push-off). This allows the tibialis anterior tendon to work less thereby reducing the chances of shin splints, tibial stress syndrome, and anterior compartment syndrome. VKs allowed the test subjects to
“load up” at the ankle less... yet generate more force. Essentially... less risk, more reward.
VKs reduced the degree of ankle plantar flexion necessary for running test subjects to exert a measured ground force. VKs better control ankle eversion (rolling) resulting in improved joint stability reducing the risk of ankle injury. By decreasing ankle excursion (lateral movement), VKs keep the bones & joints of the foot within the normally accepted range of motion resulting in reduced stress on the Plantar Fascia.
Whether walking, running, or jumping, athletes experience ground
reaction forces (GRF). Test subjects experienced significantly less GRF
with VKTRY Insoles (-10%), especially once the athlete was fatigued. This indicates that VKs were able to absorb more shock and distribute the ground forces more evenly for the athlete.

INJURY RECOVERY
THOUSANDS OF TOP ATHLETES HAVE TURNED TO VKTRY INSOLES TO HELP THEM RECOVER
FROM INJURIES.
SMOOTH RIDE
Most insoles are thin foam layers, but VKTRY’s carbon fiber design absorbs shock (like a spring) and evenly distributes ground force for a smooth, comfortable ride and less chance of re-injury.
PAIN RELIEF
Athletes around the world have reported that VKs reduced their suffering from injuries such as plantar fasciitis, turf toe, shin splints, knee, and back pain. We recommend consulting with your doctor since all athletes and injuries are unique.
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Our high-quality custom orthotics are designed to fit your feet perfectly and include our patented carbon fiber plate. They are priced at $495; & you get 50% off each additional pair. Schedule a consultation with our Board Certified Pedorthist, call us at 877-858-7979, or email us at info@vktry.com
HARVARD/MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL STUDIES
Top physicians at this prestigious teaching hospital contacted VKTRY in 2018 and told us: “We have
been prescribing your insoles to our injured patients and have seen amazing results. We want to
study your product further.” Of course, we agreed! Since that time, Harvard Mass General has
completed two independent studies on VKTRY Insoles.
VKTRY Insoles have been scientifically proven to help patients suffering from Foot/Toe Arthritis (Hallux Limitus & Hallux Rigidus) - similar to Turf Toe.
VKTRY Insoles have been scientifically proven to help patients suffering from Plantar Fasciitis.
HOW VKs HELP WITH INJURIES
A significant benefit of wearing VKTRY Insoles is their ability to prevent injuries and aid in injury
recovery. VKTRY has extensive research to support these claims, making it one of the most researched insole companies in the world.

SPORTS MEDICINE EXPERTS RECOMMEND VKTRY INSOLES
“After an extensive 6-month research study by the KoreyStringer Institute, it is clear that VKTRY Insoles improve lower body biomechanics, stability of the ankle and knee during running, and shock absorption during landing. VKs can help safeguard athletes by providing injury protection.”
Dr. Douglas Casa | PhD, ATC, Professor of Kinesiology, CEO of KSI
“The best way to treat an injury is to protect yourself from one. The VK is the best combination of shock absorption while maintaining stability that I have ever seen on the orthotic market. Shock absorption to reduce load and improved stability to disperse load biomechanically to enhance performance.”
Gary Vitti | Former Head Athletic Trainer for the LA Lakers (32 years)
“Because of the VKTRY Insole design, I can reduce sports injuries. The benefits of VKs are valid and undeniable.”
Jack Marucci | Director of Athletic Training & Performance Innovation, LSU (30 years)
“VKs represent a quantum leap in the world of performance insoles providing many of the benefits of custom-made orthotics in an over-the counter device. For the first time, athletes can experience stabilization, shock absorption, and propulsion in a device that is specifically tailored to their size and weight. This is a game changer.”
Dr. Jamie Creps | Senior Physical Therapist, Boston Red Sox
“The VKTRY Gold Insoles have significantly improved my issues with plantar fasciitis and tibialis anterior tendinitis. The energy storage of the carbon fiber adds a noticeable forward spring to my gait and helps me land more evenly on the ground with reduced pronation. I feel lighter and faster during track workouts, trails, and long-distance marathon training runs.”
Dr. Andrew Hsu | Chief - Division of Foot & Ankle Surgery Associate Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery University of California Irvine Medical Center
“My VKTRY Insoles have significantly improved my bilateral foot and ankle degenerative joint symptoms. I feel the Insoles energy restoration has made my gait more efficient and walking more enjoyable. I think others with similar foot/ankle issues may benefit as I have after using VKTRY insoles.”
Dr. David Joyner | Orthopedic Surgeon, former President of the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, former Chairman of the U.S. Olympic Sports Medicine Committee.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
LEGIT GAME CHANGER!!
"We bought my son the Gold pro-level Vk's for Christmas. He had come off of a summer injury and it was his high school basketball senior season so we wanted to give him a boost, and add protection! These inserts were and are a game -changer in his performance! If you are on the fence about purchasing Vk's, do not be! They are 1000% legit!!"

Quality product
"This is my daughter's 3rd pair of VKTRY gold insoles, she has been running competitive track, High School and D1 College, for 6 years and she will not run without VKTRY Gold in her NIKE Pegasus trainers. With VKTRY Gold insoles my daughter has had a significant reduction in shin splints, knee pain and foot pain, and as a bonus her running shoes last quite a bit longer between replacements. - thank you for a quality product."

Knee pain gone / Performance improved!
"My 16-yr old son has had significant knee pain with (Osgood-Schlatter) which negatively impacted his basketball games/practice. Having read about VKTRY insoles I decided to get him a pair and it has made a world of difference in his knee pain. They have improved his overall performance and recovery . The technology is incredible!"
