@@jaydooddid you not watch the video ? 🤣 he sent them a message saying he would buy the product and do an unbiased review after they said they wouldn’t send him a link and free soles to test. He still has a link for doing the review. And as an ambassador to a few brands, let me tell you having an affiliate link doesn’t always mean much. It depends on the brand and the rewards. But affiliate means exactly that, not sponsored just affiliated.
Seeing that there are many people criticising the number of jumps you did i have a suggestion. You should do like 10 jumps and take the mean vert, thats more accurate and it accounts for not soo good jumps like the first one you did with the insoles. Remember bigger sample size, higher precision
If dont really increase your vertical, but what I can tell you guys is it really helps with your landing and its more comfortable. Bought it 2 weeks ago. Thats all I can say.
Honestly you should just get a carbon fiber plated shoe (carbon fiber plates are what makes the shoe bouncy and snappy/stiff) and get a shoe and the carbon fiber plate inside of it which is probably cheaper than buying a 150 dollar insole
FP insoles are pretty good and are what I am using, I was tempted to switch to these but at the $150 price tag versus 30 bucks or so, and after watching this review, I probably won’t.
As a volleyball player i personally love them. I do notice a increase in vertical and it is a lot easier on the knees. One thing that prople overlook is that the insoles arent just for extra vert
I mean they are advertised as vert increasers, like almost every ad about them is about their energy return and how the shoe snaps or with athletes jumping (when in reality it only increases by one or two inches), not about comfortable the shoes are, so it makes senses that people come only thinking about the speed/vertical aspect. Plus most people ain't buying CARBON FIBER at the price of 150 for comfort.
They're actually really good for walking. I don't have vktry specifically but I have another hard springy insole, and the springs take just a little bit of strain off of your foot with every step. I have a disability that makes me get tired a lot easier and having a springy insole lets me walk a lot further in day to day life.
It’s weird how some people expect these things to add 3 or more inches to their vert. They aren’t advertised as doing that whatsoever. I think the bigger benefit with these is injury prevention, the extra vert is just a little bonus
Hello, for people playing other sports like me, I play soccer and football, I definitely recommend them, though you do have to break them in to see a big difference. I can say they definitely help with knee and lower leg support and actually do sort of help you run faster, 1 in springing back and two just more leg support meaning its easier for me to accelerate without as much tightness in my muscles or knees. They definitely do help if you play sports quite often or almost every day
One reason you jumped higher is that the other two jumps worked a warmup. You will jump higher from a few warmups and optimal rest. For a more controlled study you should try it again on another day with just the normal soles and 3 jumps, then another day with the new insoles. Or you can reverse it and try the new insoles first and then back to the originals. With this current review you did you cannot really tell what caused the one inch higher. As for comfort I can see that but for $150
I remember when they were $199. With that being said its cheaper to do what Most NBA players did in the 80's abd 90's simply get a piece of carbon fiber and put them under your shoes insole. Michael Jordan did this, then he had nike just make them in his shoes Jordan 11- 14 started using carbon fiber. Jordan 18 comes with an insole that has its own carbon fiber years before vktry came out
idk where you got that info from but you're flat out wrong. players back then weren't putting pieces of carbon fiber under their soles. you can't even do such a thing since that stuff isn't just laying around lmao.
@@gskuani7769 are you slow, the Olympics even thought about making it illegal. This isn't something new. Carbon fiber has been in multiple shoes the Nike started putting them in Jordan's 11, 12, 13, 14. Then for the Jordan 18 jordan Brand included the carbon fiber insole. All you had to do was Google search Jordan 18 insole
Right to the point, no salesman bullshit speech. Thanks man, it was really cool. Before buying these, I would rather try the Aliexpress insoles, some of them are really neat. I wonder, have you ever tried the move insoles ?
1" can be just random variance. Not every jump is going to be exactly the same. You should have warmed up your jumps and then done a bunch in a row and averaged them out.
Genuine question. What does bending the shoe like that and letting it fling up have to do with your jump at all? Your foot don’t bend like that so that’s like completely irrelevant. That’s like saying this cup won’t ever spill I promise and to prove it I want you to drink some of the koolaid in it and tell me how it tastes. Like I’m just lost on how bending the shoes/insole matters.
It is not biased if you watch the full video. The link is so you can check it out after my review. I think im going to start doing more videos like this to see if products are actually legit
I watched the full video before I posted the comment, but if you insist it isn’t biased then I believe you but you only did one jump without them so I felt there is not enough evidence for you to say vctry was better
@@furi0us_816 I think an extra jump without them again would give an even better idea, but it's not like he claimed they were amazing or anything, he even said for casual players he probably wouldn't recommend them (for that price, pretty expensive). Also seemed to be more positive about the support and help with knees rather than vertical so I don't think the review was really that biased, seemed fair to me (though of course testing could have been more extensive, etc. for a short youtube video it was pretty fair, better than other videos I've seen)
@@furi0us_816how is it biased when we just saw with our eyes that the insoles don’t work? if it were biased he would have lied and said he jumped higher than he actually did
an inch in variantion is just standard deviation in a jump normally. These don't do anything. dont waste your money. There are better insoles that you can buy for much cheaper.
also just letting yk he just bought these so there not fully broke in but it says to break them in for 7 days and it will help. P.S. There's a paper with instructions in the box
Not going to bat here for the insoles but their claim is that return energy when bent. When you jumped with them then didn’t bend much at all. A sprint test would be better to see the actual result
First of all your foot will not bend that much for the insole to give you that much return in power 2nd it might give you some power return but it won’t be that much noticeable since again your foot won’t bend to the same degree that your doing with the shoe flip test.
Am I the only person that is questioning his jump? The approach itself is correct, but why is he not using his right hand and approach from the opposite side? Personally, I thought that would make a huge difference bc he’s doing a “right handed” approach From the opposite side with his opposite hand🤷🏻♂️
the math doesn't make sense... For them to make you jump higher they'd need to have a crazy energy return system and insoles aren't enough to do so. It's they were a whole shoes it'd be more believable. Wouldn't you think Nike and the other big brands would have been selling this forever if this was the case!!!!
Wouldnt make the difference of a shot getting blocked because you're not jumping with all your might in that same fashion when your taking a jumper or a lay.... If you had a ball in your hand and you were shooting using your normal jump form there would be zero difference in your jump height while wearing these..... If you are a an inch away from being able to dunk a ball, these insoles MAY make up that difference on half of your dunk attempts..... If that is worth $150 to you, then go for it.... Otherwise, you're paying $150 to have the blood circulation reduced in your feet.
Yeah there are much cheaper, equally as good inserts. You’re getting taxed by buying these. Check any marathon running support insole. They’re 50-100 and probably even better quality.
