Carbon Insole
Why it
works.
Every stride loses energy. The foam insole in your shoe compresses under load and never gives it back. The VICE Carbon Insole captures that wasted force and returns it as forward propulsion. Less energy lost. More power transferred. No added weight. Three engineered systems. One mechanical advantage.
Four engineered systems. One stable foundation.
Aerospace-grade carbon fibre layered for optimal flex and rebound. The plate stores kinetic energy during foot strike and releases it at toe-off — converting impact into propulsion. More force goes forward. Less goes into the ground.
Carbon fibre delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any commercially available material. The full insole weighs under 40g — adding mechanical advantage without adding mass. You feel the response, not the weight.
The plate is stiff through the midfoot and metatarsal for maximum energy transfer, with calculated flex at the toe for natural push-off mechanics. Rigid where force loads. Compliant where the foot needs to roll.
Carbon fibre doesn't compress, deform, or degrade the way foam does. The energy return profile on day 300 is the same as day 1. No break-in period. No performance decay. Built to maintain its mechanical properties season after season.
Per insole. Aerospace-grade carbon fibre at a fraction of the weight of traditional performance insoles. Strength without mass.
Performance decay. Unlike foam insoles that compress and lose responsiveness over time, carbon fibre maintains its energy return profile indefinitely.

"In testing with MLP Australia players and coaches. Court-sport feedback driving forefoot zone geometry refinements."
"Cross-discipline testing ensures the insole performs under different movement patterns — lateral cuts, linear sprints, rotational loading, and sustained positional play."

Multi-layer carbon fibre plate stores kinetic energy during foot strike and releases it at toe-off. Impact in, propulsion out.
Sub-40g per insole. The highest strength-to-weight ratio in performance footwear. Stiff where it counts, light everywhere else.
Rigid through the midfoot for energy transfer. Calculated flex at the forefoot for natural push-off. Engineered, not generic.
Carbon fiber doesn't compress or deform under load. The energy return on day 300 matches day 1. No foam breakdown. No dead spots. Built to last seasons.
