![]() The pad is designed to provide performance cushioning without a significant loss in energy return. The heel features a medium rebound Poron pad. Positioned at the ends of the insole, the heel and metatarsal, are the Poron cushioning components. Natural support and propulsion all in one brilliant! ![]() The bridge also acts like a spring storing energy as I came into the gait cycle then propelling me through toeoff. What I experienced was a reduction in excessive movements and the ability for natural pronation to still occur through the gait cycle. This nylon bridge is definitely not the hard plastic motion restricting block that I was expecting it to be. This is the 3D DAT, or Dynamic Arch Technology. In the arch of the insole sits what appears to be a rigid plastic bridge. This layer provides not only space but I felt also helped reduce impact while providing bounce.įlipping the sole over the underside reveals the three main technical components that help make the insole dynamic and supportive. The final bottom layer, the uniform gray honeycomb on the bottom, is a mixture of rubber and EVA.I would attribute it to this layer as it allowed the insole to mold to my foot restricting any unnecessary movement. Since using this insole I have noticed a reduction in blisters and hot spots on my longer runs which have reached 20+ miles. After several hundred miles this foam still retains its properties and shows little signs of wear. The middle layer, not visible, is a memory foam material impregnated with charcoal to control odor.The top layer, the blue which is most visible, is a microfiber material that is soft and quick drying.The sole’s platform is assembled using three layers: The CurrexSOLE RUNPRO is a well-designed, and engineered product that is definitely runner specific. The insole producing not only the above results but the highest wear comfort without foot-sole stress was the Currex insole. The end results of the tests revealed that not only was there perceived improved comfort by runners, but there was also a reduction in peak plantar pressure. The tests measured wear comfort and pressures in the feet. Björn was junior world champion in the Olympic distance triathlon before a serious injury took him to the path that he travels now.Ī recent blind study performed at the German Sport University of Cologne in January of this year tested the CurrexSole against five other brands in the same market. The Company is based out of Hamburg Germany and was founded in 1999 by Björn Gustafsson a sports scientist that specializes in motion analysis. The brand gets its name from Currex the Latin king of running. ![]() However, after a couple of months of wear and over 200+ miles logged I think that I have had a serious paradigm shift. So when I was approached to review the RUNPRO CurrexSOLE I was pretty skeptical. Yes I am talking about the wafer thin pieces of foam that lie at the bottom of our shoes.įor myself I have always had a perception of off the shelf insoles being these rigid plastic inserts for people that have sciatica or stand on concrete all day. As runners we naturally spend a lot of time obsessing over our shoes, but what we hardly ever give a thought about the insoles inside.
