silica gel
Transparent insole silicone rubber is an addition-type two-component liquid silicone rubber, which is a "solid-liquid coexistence material" composed of liquid and solid. Made of high-quality silica gel, the appearance is colorless and transparent, and it is made by professional technology.

Experience: I also have a pair of silicone insoles, which are modular. The pillars of the forefoot and heel are silica gel, and I don't know what material it is in the middle, like rubber or soft nylon. It is not recommended to buy this kind of silicone insole for fitness here. Because the silicone is too soft, it will slip into the shoes and may twist your feet. Moreover, if you exercise for a long time in actual combat, your knees and ankles will be sore because there is no good support. At present, I don't know the service life of this model. I bought it for fun!
Insole with supporting piece
At present, I have worn a pair of better EVA-based modular insoles! Feeling okay? The price is high. Their insoles are still different from other EVA insoles on the Internet. I played basketball through them several times, and the EVA part was not compressed and thinned, and the elasticity was enough, but the supporting piece of TPU was too hard! ! Probably designed for Europeans and Americans, this kind of TPU insole with excellent hardness is not suitable for everyone! (So be careful)

Orthoclase (orthoclase)
Ortholite is actually a brand of insole. Its density is 1 10 ~ 130 kg/m3, and its general hardness is 10-40 degrees (ASKER. c)。 Compared with environmentally friendly polymer cotton, it is breathable, sweat-absorbent, odor-proof, mildew-proof, bacteriostatic and cushioning.

Experience: At present, almost all the better sports shoes on the market have a pair of insoles with Osolet, of course, because of its breathability. Osolet has good air permeability, strong hygroscopicity and strong fit! First of all, I'd like to introduce an online insole, which is the insole in my girlfriend's sports shoes!
Of course, among various advantages, there are also some shortcomings. First of all, people who like to support will definitely feel that the support is not enough. Secondly, because Osori's insole will lose particles when worn for a long time (and the shoes will be polished), the shoes at the back are all particles, but overall it is still very good.
polyurethane
PU is the abbreviation of polyurethane, which is abbreviated as polyurethane in Chinese. At present, it has largely replaced glass fiber insulation materials, wood and traditional rubber products. PU insole is currently used by most high-end sports insoles. The advantage is that good elasticity is the key, and it will not deform after wearing for a long time. The disadvantage is poor air permeability.

Experience: At present, there are many insoles made of this material, which are relatively common. I will probably introduce a good PU insole, which also has an air cushion! (Not Nike's) The main material of this insole is PU, and the heel is about 8mm air cushion. The sense of movement is not bad, the elasticity is not bad, and the hardness is moderate, but the disadvantage is that the whole body is too heavy (almost twice the weight of EVA), and the PU material itself has problems, which makes it airtight. Like me, it is easy to accumulate sweat after wearing it for a long time.
Air/air cushion
Air cushion technology comes from the manufacturing process of spacesuit. In the Apollo moon landing program, scientists invented a method of heating a mass of soft material to soften it, and then blowing high-pressure gas into the mold. This method is called "hollow blow molding" technology. Later, sports shoe manufacturers found that this process can make a complete upper quickly and efficiently, so they widely used it in the manufacture of sports shoes. The appearance of air cushion enhances the cushioning performance of sports shoes and reduces the weight of shoes.

Experience: Speaking of air cushion, it is actually relatively high in sports. At present, the air cushions of most shoes we see are basically made by Nike. Conversely, it is even rarer to use insoles. In fact, compared with other cushioning materials, air cushion insoles have a greater feature, which lies in the compression characteristics of gas itself. In the process of movement, it can completely absorb the impact force when jumping and landing, and generate auxiliary resilience to provide mobility for launching the action again! ! Another disadvantage to mention is that the insole with air cushion module is biased (because the air cushion is made of TPU, the material is biased), and the heel thickness is too thick for many basketball shoes to wear! ! So this kind of insole had better be tried on first.
Cork insole
The main tree species producing cork are Quercus variabilis and Quercus variabilis. Generally, plants with DBH greater than 20 cm for 20 years or more can be peeled for the first time, and the obtained skin is called scalp or primary skin. Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome used to make fishing nets, insoles and bottle stoppers. In addition, there is a unique way to make the world's top shoes called "Goodyear process", in which the insole is made of cork.
The shape and feeling of the insole are still cool and beautiful. This is made of their cork and ASF, which is more suitable for sports, so I bought this, mostly cork.
