I’m always looking for ways to strengthen my feet. I had the opportunity to check out Biopods Stimsoles. They’re inserts for your shoes with a pod in the middle. The pod creates “a ‘springy’ stimulus that gently increases over time to safely retrain your protective reflexes and help your feet, legs, hips, and back adjust naturally to healthy function.” BioPods Stimsoles “reactivate communication between your brain and feet, realigning your body.”
BioPods are the result of the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team. These specialists in rehabilitative foot-strengthening technologies have developed a unique product that “addresses the cause of most foot-related problems by optimizing the innate body intelligence of the human body.”
Biopods help people with various conditions. These include plantar fasciitis, knee and hip pain, IT band syndrome and more. Stimsoles come in three stimulus levels. They are light (low) stimulus for everyday wear in form fitting shoes, medium (moderate) stimulus for looser fitting shoes and high (more intense) stimulus for higher intensity, running-related sports.
I tried the “performance” (high stimulus) version in my Mizuno running shoes. I removed the shoe’s inserts and trimmed the Biopods to fit using the original inserts as a guide. I started by running a few miles at a time and using these shoes for workouts with my trainer.
The Stimsoles were noticeable at first but I got used to them quickly. I’ve been rotating these shoes in for my mid-distance runs and gym workouts. I notice that I have better balance with the Stimsoles and that I have been having less foot pain after running. Another great feature is that they have anti-microbial properties so they don’t get smelly!
