Carbon Fiber Arch Support For Runners
Carbon Fiber Arch Support For Runners
Long used in high-performance bike frames, golf club heads and tennis racquets, carbon fiber is now finding its way into running shoes and the arch support that goes inside. For serious runners, like marathoners and ultra-runners, any advantage they can get to optimize biomechanics, improve energy transfer and prevent injuries is worth the investment.
Carbon fiber insoles are incredibly strong and rigid which is important because when the foot strikes the ground during running, there is a lot of force that is exerted on the arch and the insoles. Insoles that flex can buckle under the pressure and cause pain. Carbon fiber insoles are also very lightweight. In fact, the 100% carbon fiber arch supports in Tread Labs Dash insoles are half the weight of the polypro support in our Ramble and Pace insoles.
In addition to their strength and rigidity, carbon fiber insoles are also extremely durable. They can withstand the rigors of high-impact sports and can easily be replaced when worn out. In terms of injury prevention, carbon fiber insoles help by promoting proper foot alignment and reducing the stress of overuse. This helps redistribute pressure and realign structures that can lead to overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis and turf toe.
