Shift in Insole Design
Departing from the conventional foam and plastic construction of most insoles, VKTRY's carbon fiber insoles are designed to help athletes improve their performance. Scientific studies suggest these insoles can potentially aid in increasing running speed and vertical leap. VKTRY's carbon fiber baseplate functions as a dynamic spring, storing and returning energy in a way that traditional foam insoles simply cannot.
VKTRY athletes immediately experience the energy return and added explosiveness.

Customization Tailored to Athletes
Because all athletes are not alike, VKTRY has a proprietary algorithm which uses the athlete's gender, age and body weight to determine the proper spring strength of the baseplate. For example, a 300 pound nose tackle needs more spring action than a 100 pound tennis player. Determining the proper spring strength of the baseplate provides optimal performance, protection and comfort for the athlete.
VKTRY baseplate with 5 unique "Pro Levels" (spring strength) to match each athlete's unique needs.
