Saluber / H480 Series
Tech Talk: All full-length Saluber insoles offer support and protection from
impact. e H480 series is for runners looking for the lightest weight and
thinnest insoles. Arch supports are built with a scaphoid pad to provide
comfortable support without flattening out, while a cutaway heel design with
a double layer of PORON promotes full contact between foot and orthotic
insole, providing extra impact protection (for heel-strikers). MSRP $85-$108.
Hero Factor: "e top cover material used in Saluber insoles is 'Alcantara,"
an Italian manmade microfiber that has the luxurious feel and comfort of so
suede. Alcantara is temperature neutral, absorbs moisture and perspiration
without becoming slippery, resists abrasion and sliding in the shoe, and it's
highly durable." – Marc Goldberg, owner, Bonapeda Enterprises n
Currex/Metpad
Tech Talk: New heading into 2024, the Metpad is a dynamic arch support
insole with a deep decoupled heel cup that wraps and locks the foot
into place for stability, less fatigue and the right fit. Flexible support
underfoot adds comfort. Shock absorbing cushioning from heel to toe
relieves stress on joints. MSRP $59.95.
Hero Factor: "Because Currex provides insoles for over a dozen different
activities, we're constantly evaluating trends in multiple markets. e
growth around the sport of pickleball certainly has our team's interest."
