Oregon Aero Shock Blockers - Light Insole Inserts (pink)
Overview
| ShockBlockers® Light Insole Inserts Generally recommended for persons 130 lbs. or lighter but preferred by others, too. The stiffness ratio of the special polymer used in the inserts conforms to a lighter-weight person's feet. Two-layer inserts can be trimmed easily for exact fit. 3/16" thick. Inserts fit most footwear. Instructions included. NOTE: Use the Work/Sport ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts if you engage in high-impact activities, regardless of your body weight. How Do They Absorb So Much Shock? The patented ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts, available to the general public, combine innovative designs and materials. How can something that looks as simple as our insole inserts be so complex? Explains Mike Dennis, President of ShockBlockers Technology LLC & Oregon Aero, Inc.: ?When we run, walk or stand, we generate shock, which is mechanical energy. This shock can cause pain as well as stone bruises, shin splints and compression fractures. The goal of ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts is to reduce the negative effect of this mechanical energy. The total energy generated can?t be reduced, but it can be converted into a form of energy that is more easily manipulated, in this case, into heat. A unique molecule in the ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts polymer creates this conversion. The heat created is then captured by the proprietary fabric upper layer of the insert. This fabric is woven in such a way that it also captures perspiration; the heat and perspiration are wicked to the outer edges of the insole insert where they are released and dissipated through evaporation. An additional material in the fabric reduces friction between the foot and the insole insert, preventing blisters." |
