Footprint Insoles

Footprint Insoles TechnologyIf you’ve read any of our previous posts, you know that my feet and Chris’ knee have a lot of miles on them. Both of us are always looking for ways to minimize pain while allowing us to function. I’d seen ads for Footprint Insoles Technology products, and picked up a set of their Hi Profile Kingfoam Insoles with the Aaron “JAWS” Homoki graphic.  I figured if that dude can ollie off buildings and still function, they must be solid!

Since I started using the Kingfoam insoles, my feet have felt better than they have in years. My only complaint on the JAWS version is they are flat with no arch support, but FIT does makes numerous version with arch support.  They also make insoles for snowboarding; I plan to test a set this winter.  Whether you are young or an “Old Guy,” pick up a set of FIT insoles. Your knees, feet, and ankles will be eternally grateful.  Say goodbye to pain!!
