As most of my regular readers know, I have recently returned to running after rehabbing from a stress fracture in my ankle. I haven't mentioned it lately, but never fear... I AM running. In fact, I got in an AWESOME bridge run on Sunday.
In the past I talked about how I'm going low and slow on my running miles right now to prevent re injury.(Although my walking miles are pretty high) One of the other things I'm doing it trying to run on more forgiving surfaces. Unfortunately that's not always an option but I wanted to give my joints a little bit of a break so I looked into insoles. Awhile back I read a review Amanda wrote on RxSorbo insoles and thought I'd give them a try.
They were kind enough to send me a few pairs of insoles to test out. I have been running and walking in the Sorbothane Ultra Work Sport Insoles. According to the company sorbothane absorbs "94.7% of impact shock".
Once I received the insoles I simply took out the ones that came with my shoes and replaced them with the new ones. I didn't need to trim them or modify them in any way. They did make my shoes feel slightly snugger than usual, but not in a bad way.
I'm impressed that they don't slide around in my shoe at all. I also like that I can feel the cushion, but they don't make my shoes feel heavy at all. They are super comfy! I've only had them a short while, but so far I only have good things to say about them.
They have tons of other insole options, check them out at RxSorbo.com.
