Sorbothane® is the only insole material that absorbs up to 94.7% of impact shock. Unlike standard insole materials, which can bottom out and lose effectiveness, Sorbothane® never waivers under any conditions. Durable and comfortable, Sorbothane® performance insoles retain their orthotic benefits and shockabsorbing properties month after month. Lightweight and antifungal, they also breathe, which makes for a much cooler insole.
Sorbothane® insoles have been highly recommended by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers for decades. Sorbothane® insoles have proven to be the best defense against foot pain, back pain and impact-related injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, runner’s knee and shin splints.
