<p>I was recently offered  an opportunity to review a pair of insoles from <a href="../../insoles.php">Sorbothane</a>. Here’s my  disclaimer: I received one pair of insoles for free to review plus two  pairs of sole cushions for dress shoes. I’m under no obligation to  publish my review, and the opinions that I share are based on my  experience. O.K &#8212; so now for my review.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clip_image002_0000.gif" alt="clip_image002_0000.gif" align="right" />Sorbothane, Inc., in conjunction with <a href="/blog/kick-eez-products/"title="" >Kick-EEZ</a>®, the most  popular<a href="http://www.kickeezproducts.com"title="" > recoil pad</a> on the  market, introduce the Kick-EEZ® <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Red Line</span></span></strong> Dual Action<a href="/blog/recoil-pads/"title="recoil pads" > Recoil Pad</a>. This newly  engineered recoil pad combines two  layers of<strong> Sorbothane</strong>® recoil  absorbing properties.<img src="http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clip_image004.jpg" alt="clip_image004.jpg" align="right" />The first, ultra-soft red <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  layer reacts to absorb recoil and increase accuracy. The second, black<strong> Sorbothane</strong> layer dissipates  energy and completes maximum recoil absorption.</p>
<p>The Kick-EEZ® <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Red Line</span></strong> Recoil Pad is  designed for all shooting applications. Available in four Grind-to-Fit models installation  is easy.</p>
<p><strong>Sorbothane</strong>®, a one-of-a-kind proprietary material, is specified by  engineers worldwide for its shock reducing properties and scientifically proven  to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® has achieved shock  absorption levels of up to 94.7%. Kick-EEZ® <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® recoil pads reduce more recoil and do it better than  any other pad. Less recoil reduces flinching, eases sore shoulders and cheeks.  Unprecedented absorption levels are possible because <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® attenuates shock waves by dispersing energy outward  from the impact source.<strong> Sorbothane’s </strong>delayed  recovery properties minimize rebound kick and eliminate the rebound effect of  the first shot, and therefore second shots are quicker and more accurate. <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® will not “bottom out” or  “rebound” as do most common rubber materials on the market today. <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® provides effective performance  in any and all weather conditions.<span id="more-84"></span></p>

It is the weapon of  choice with first line infantry as well as Special Forces units. Not only does  it have the power and range of a 5.56mm rifle but the carbine barrel is  designed to accept a grenade launcher which can generate harmful recoil energy.  A unique shock absorbing <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  pad was engineered to protect the soldier from the damaging effects of recoil.  This <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® recoil pad is  designed to precisely fit into the weapons distinctive sliding buttstock which adapts  to different firing positions as well as soldiers with various physical  characteristics.<span id="more-83"></span></p>
<p><strong>Sorbothane</strong>®, a one-of-a-kind proprietary material, is specified by  engineers worldwide for its shock reducing properties and scientifically proven  to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® has achieved shock  absorption levels of up to 94.7%. <a href="/blog/kick-eez-products/"title="" >Kick-EEZ</a> <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  recoil pads reduce more recoil and do it better than any other pad. Less recoil  reduces flinching, eases sore shoulders and cheeks. Unprecedented absorption  levels are possible because <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  attenuates shock waves by dispersing energy outward from the impact source.<strong> Sorbothane’s </strong>delayed recovery  properties minimize rebound kick and eliminate the rebound effect of the first  shot, and therefore second shots are quicker and more accurate. <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® will not “bottom out” or  “rebound” as do most common rubber materials on the market today. <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® provides effective  performance in any and all weather conditions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clip_image002.jpg" alt="clip_image002.jpg" align="left" />An original article, studying the  effects cushioned insoles have in reducing<a href="/blog/impact-force/"title="impact force" > impact forces</a> during running, was  published in the January/February 2008 issue of the <strong>Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association</strong>. Test  subjects performed five running trials with a running shoe only and five  running trials with the running shoe and a <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  shock absorbing insole. The results showed that the use of the<strong> Sorbothane</strong>® cushioned insoles during  running significantly reduced peak impact force compared to the shoe-only  condition.</p>
<p><strong>Sorbothane</strong>® is the only insole material that absorbs  up to 94.7% of<a href="/blog/sorbothane®-recoil-pad-protects-soldiers-from-impact-shock/"title="" > impact shock</a>. Unlike standard insole materials, which can bottom  out and lose effectiveness, <strong>Sorbothane</strong>®  never waivers under any conditions. Durable and comfortable, <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® 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.<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p><strong>Sorbothane</strong>® insoles have been highly recommended by doctors,  sports medicine specialists and professional trainers for decades. <strong>Sorbothane</strong>® 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.</p>
