If you\u2019re like us you\u2019ve probably put plenty of thought into the specific trainers you\u2019re wearing while you run for the optimal experience.<\/b><\/p>\n

However, this can also be taken one step further by ensuring you have the right insoles placed inside your running shoe<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Providing an extra layer of support and comfort they should be able help with your day to day running, as well as assist you through some tricky injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should you wear insoles while running?<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhy are insoles useful for running? It\u2019s a fair question, so here\u2019s what biomechanics specialist and Enertor founder Bente Rewse-Smith has to say about it: \u201cIt\u2019s simple: prevention of injury<\/a><\/strong>, reducing shockwaves going up through your lower limbs and ensuring an enjoyable time when pursuing triathlon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe standard insoles you find in most running shoes tend to be EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) or foam, which can bottom out quite quickly. The major manufacturers spend most of their money on the shoe soles and the uppers, and spend very little on the insoles. Pull out the insoles from your trainers and you will see.<\/p>\n
\u201cA premium insole will effectively upgrade the standard insole in running trainers that doesn\u2019t really provide much protection. It is also possible to get bespoke insoles or orthotics. These are made specifically for your feet. Eighty per cent of people will only need a good quality insole, but if you have very particular needs then going down the bespoke root can ensure the perfect device for your particular biomechanical needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Are there different types of running insoles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\u201cThere are various different types of running insoles,\u201d explains Rewse-Smith. \u201cSome concentrate more on control and support, and tend to have a rigid shell in order to maximise support. Others concentrate more on shock absorption, possibly with a design to reduce the most common injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
What makes a good running insole?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
There are two key factors that make a good insole, says Rewse-Smith. \u201cFirstly it\u2019s the design and secondly the material. The design is important. Look out for features like a met dome (which helps to spread the load on your forefoot), a slight heel raise for Achilles problems and the correct arch support.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the material you need to pick one that has good shock absorbency properties to help protect against the ground forces. The best thing to do is take time to look for insoles that have specific studies backing their claims and people\u2019s testimonials online to ensure you buy the insoles suitable for your needs. If you are testing insoles in a shop, try them in your trainers you use.\u201d<\/p>\n
