There are plenty of carbon fiber running shoes out there, but what about a carbon fiber plate insole that can be added to a shoe you already enjoy? This VKTRY insoles review will help breakdown the science and the feel of using them in your training.
While my focus is around running, you’ll easily see how it transfers to basketball, soccer and other sports.
VKTRY Carbon Fiber Insoles Review
The carbon fiber plate insole from VKTRY is a stiffer insole, so when you land there’s more shock absorption and energy returned into your legs. Think of your feet acting like a spring as you run. We need the stiffness in our ankles to support them spring off.
Wearing a super cushioned shoe, your foot sinks in with each step, thus you’re missing the energy return, speed and power.
You may have heard that there are shoes that can give you a 4% return, but studies are showing that’s not quite accurate. You could probably expect a 1% pace improvement from using carbon fiber plate insoles.
There are two versions of VKTRY insoles:
- Gold- 100% Aerospace-grade Carbon Fiber
- Silver- Slightly less powerful, better for long distances and more affordable

These are not going to work in every shoe. Shoes that have a taller or wider upper fit will work best….
