Do gel insoles help when your running?
Insoles may help your feet and legs when training or doing distance work, but they will not improve your time, they may prevent injuries.
Reply:Yes. Gel inserts are soooo comfortable and make all the difference in the world. now listen...if you are more comfortable doesn%26#039;t it just make sense that you%26#039;re performance will be inhanced? Don%26#039;t listen to anyone who says otherwise. The only complaint I have about gel inserts is that they tend to lift you high in the shoe so just go with the heel inserts. Trust me you will feel much better and run better.
Reply:Insoles usually end up sucking and the gel slows me down. The soles the shoes come with are the only insoles that really are made for that shoe. The only reason why you have to get insoles is if you are having pain. Gels are not going to help speed at all. You need to train harder.
Reply:They dont improve performance but do help prevent injuries. You only suck at runnig because you arent in shape... to be good, you have to train consistently. No secret shortcuts
