Performance-Enhancing Insoles

These Carbon-Fiber Insoles Give Users Greater Propulsion

— November 11, 2015 — Fashion
Matthew Arciuolo designed a pair of carbon-fiber insoles that boost athletic performance by giving users greater propulsion. For professional athletes, proper footwear is key to improving performance. These specially designed insoles are made for athletes who are trying to go the extra mile.

The 'Roar XG4' insoles are a pair of carbon-fiber insoles that are designed to boost athletic performance for a range of different sports. The insoles are made from an ultra-lightweight material that helps users maximize their speed, propulsion and agility. The insoles feature unique design that directs energy directly towards the ground instead of simply cushioning the foot. By storing the energy an athlete produces while they are in motion, the insoles give the individual greater propulsion.

The performance-enhancing insoles are currently available for pre-order from Kickstarter.
