iRunFar.com reviews our Signature Dean Karnazes Footbeds
iRunFar.com recently reviewed our Signature Dean Karnazes Footbeds. Here's what they had to say:
"Since that initial run I've probably logged several hundred miles and ran a 50k, 60k and a 50 miler on them. Having had them almost six months now two features really stand out as making these footbeds excel over others I've used.
First is the pronounced heel cup. While not as noticeable (to me) on the road, I certainly have a sense that paired with a trail shoe the deep heel cup helps keep my foot in place on nasty sloppy terrain (i.e. McNaughton this year), as well as potentially keeping blisters at bay.
The second is that the SOLE's have noticeably less volume than other insoles I've used while maintaining the same level of comfort. As a runner with a higher volume foot I feel this is a plus, especially in ultras where your feet tend to swell later in the race. When soaking wet, the insoles also don't seem to absorb water like other inserts and don't have that squishy feel even after multiple stream crossings."

I don't put on my running shoes without having Signature Dean Karnazes Footbeds. Since wearing the footbeds I have had no foot injuries. I have had a podiatrist tell me I did not need custom orthodics because he felt the Dean Karnazes Footbeds were good quality and would do the trick. I love my Signature Dean Karnazes Footbeds. They are worth every penny. See you out there, Thomas
