Currex
Unlike most insoles, Currex insoles are both designed to be incredibly comfortable in your shoe, as well as providing stability and support to aid you in your daily activity. Designed by German sports scientists, Currex is the first insole brand to provide dynamic arch support, and offers the largest line of sport/activity specific insoles (running, cycling, soccer cleats, walking and more). The insoles are thin and low profile, and deliver maximum support and comfort, providing a range of functional benefits. They reduce foot pressure providing additional relief for your feet, and can be cut to custom fit your shoes. Currex stands behind their product, and offers a 60 day warranty, even if you have custom cut your insoles.
