Years of pounding the pavement adds serious stress to your feet, knees, hips, and legs. That repetitive impact, over the course of thousands of miles, eventually takes its toll. If you're not landing in a balanced or neutral position, injuries will keep coming back and slow your progress.
Kila insoles give you the support to land correctly, significantly reducing strain and improving alignment from your feet to your hips. Similar to running on sand, perfect arch-to-arch contact redistributes impact from the bony areas (heel and ball) into the soft tissue of your arch—where your body is designed to absorb it.
Most shoes are built around a generic foot shape, which means force is still concentrated in hot spots in the heel and ball—regardless of your form. Big shoe brands logistically can't offer enough 3D footbed variations in their shoes because it would require thousands of size combinations for each model. That’s where Kila comes in.
Kila custom insoles help:
- Relieve foot pain
- Prevent injury
- Treat plantar fasciitis
- Improve mechanics and form
- Optimize support and alignment
Clinical orthotics are rigid. They provide support—but at the cost of proper foot mechanics. As die-hard runners, we couldn’t believe no one had built an insole specifically for running performance. That’s why Kila insoles are flexible, allowing for all three phases of gait. With perfect arch contact and a zero-drop structure, we can get the big toe joint down faster—which directly increases propulsion.
Performance Benefits:
- Increased propulsion
- Maximum power transfer
- Faster recovery
- Less pain = better training
And using prefab insoles (the ones from the running store) is like wearing someone else’s prescription glasses—likely not helpful, and often worse. We build insoles that match your exact foot shape down to the millimeter—not just increasing comfort, but giving you better alignment and turning your shoes into an extension of your body.
Fun fact: Your feet are siblings, not identical twins. That’s why we craft two unique insoles—one for each foot.
