Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association Effects of Cushioned Insoles on the Impact Forces During Running
An original article, studying the effects cushioned insoles have in reducing impact forces during running, was published in the January/February 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association. Test subjects performed five running trials with a running shoe only and five running trials with the running shoe and a Sorbothane® shock absorbing insole. The results showed that the use of the Sorbothane® cushioned insoles during running significantly reduced peak impact force compared to the shoe-only condition.
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 shock absorbing 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.
