@@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.
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
Ikr I am going to get them because I have problems with my shoulders, arms, knees and more from pulled muscles (Or other things like it). I think this will really help me
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Thank you very much bro, I wanted an honest review and I wqtch your videos so I trust you and just want to say thank you, keep up with theese awesome videos.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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
my main concern is if the impact on jumplanding is more severe with the carbon plates, because you land on the forefoot. does it feel like your heel and achilles get impacted more?
They cramped my feet which never happened before. They started separating after only a couple weeks and I contacted them to return and they refused. Sadly Ended up throwing them away. I really tried wearing them several times
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
I realised from this video that the sole would never bend to such an extreme when doing a jump, and all of the energy simply came from your calves. The soles are false marketing
ionno if I recommend these to js anyone but if you have any knee or ankle problems or if you're a bigger guy they're definietly super worth it, vktrys increased my vert by 6cm the first time I put them on not js bc of the bounce but because I felt so much more stable and I could actually put out maximal force
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🤷🏻♂️
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
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.
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!!!!
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.

The real crime is this video being recorded in vertical
Preach!!
its cuz he also posted this on tiktok.
I actually fw the vertical 😂 (I’m watching on my phone)
I think these will help athletes but not by a far margin but enough to notice
i love ur channel btw

This is a good dude. Some people would receive an endorsement and try to pawn them off on people. Im glad i found his channel.
Thank you so much i was thinking about getting these but every video is either sponsored or not a good explanation of how good they are tysm ❤
Are you still getting 'em? Cuz, I might just grab myself a brand new pair of Curry's instead of 'dem insoles Haha
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
That would be the best but my knees are not very good. After the 3rd jump I was done
@@MrBeardedDragon I get that man, you're human after all🤣. I was satisfied with two jumps, better to have you still hooping
@@matteoceleste4406broo FINNALY a person that expects that they are human and can't do things over and over
Good idea but stamina might come into play. For example the energy put into the first jump as opposed to the 9th or 10th might skew the results
The website said it is proven to make your vert 1.6”
You shouldve done a 2nd jump without them as well to see if there was any change
he does it on the yt shorts version of this vid
Dang one inch, thats a lot. An inch should be good enough. Most people can’t handle jumping an extra inch.. right?
And inch is average. Its actually pretty big yk? Like an inch is a lot man.
he did say he was feeling taller... so if he got taller he would have a higher reach too
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
Wow 10 👍

Beyond the vertical jump, did you notice a speed boost when you do the race?

This is the kind of honest review we all meed
Lol. love how the cat was like. " AY! What you are doing cauz ?! "
I knew shit was bullshit when his shoe didn’t bounce 8 ft. In the victory videos they always cut right before doing it. Shady

Only dude I trust with product reviews 💯
I like mine a lot the best part is definitely landing, you can feel a big difference on how they absorb the shock.
IF it significantly helps reduce the risk foot/ankle injuries it may be worth it
Thanks for your genuine review, you saved my money.

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.

Thanks bro for the review💯💯💯
yeah that was a straight up review. most of the jordan’s have a carbon fibre shank anyway.
Thank you so much for putting this out! It’s pretty much a scam how they make products these days with no efficiency and expensive!
It makes perfect sense that the tension of those little insoles can't launch 210lbs into the air 😂 lol
Conclusion: The insoles in fact do not increase your vertical or improve performance
Bro acutally thought we wouldn't notice that without the vktry insoles he jumped left right, with the vktry insoles he jumped right left
My conclusion is it’s biased, he has a 20% off link they sponsored him, I doubt it actually did anything

Even if it may or may not make you jump higher, does it make it easier? Like less fatigue or effort in the long run playing in them?
i think probably yeah but those will definitely make your foot hurt or stress after the game also it's seem like a placebo efffect too
Thanks for the honest review G. I just saved 150
suspicious insoles - $150, eventually wears out - vs - knee and leg workouts - free, lasts forever.
Is it good for running, will it make my running bouncier?
(UNBIASED) Proceeds to give a link to buy the product
What's the bad thing ? If people still want to support the channel buying these insoles even after they're not recommended it's their problem…

So far yes. I have been using them the last few days

1:11 I was so confused to see my exact high school 😭
The company deleted the negative reviews on their Instagram. Unethical. Sad.
Did you break them in? Or does that not matter?
I bought a pair back in 2019 for anybody interested. It felt more bouncy jumping off one foot. However, the insoles cracked after 3 games.
maybe rn are better materials and costruction 😎

Did you have to trim the insoles at all to fit?
If they worked, shoe companies would have already put them in their shoes and marketed it as such… think about it
The extra inch vertical is probably just from the extra inch of height the insoles gave you.
They cramped my feet which never happened before. They started separating after only a couple weeks and I contacted them to return and they refused. Sadly Ended up throwing them away. I really tried wearing them several times
Didn’t know u could get up like that 😂
are your arms short? im 6'2 and i got a 8ft standing reach, no hate just a genuine question

You the hero Man
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
It’s funny they have a casual one now too
I realised from this video that the sole would never bend to such an extreme when doing a jump, and all of the energy simply came from your calves. The soles are false marketing
The feet don’t even bend jumping to form a resort push but they might gel to increase speed maybe a video running max would be cool
ionno if I recommend these to js anyone but if you have any knee or ankle problems or if you're a bigger guy they're definietly super worth it, vktrys increased my vert by 6cm the first time I put them on not js bc of the bounce but because I felt so much more stable and I could actually put out maximal force
Finally a good review
these insoles also work as a mandela effect.
How about jumping first with the insoles? Thank you
Not saying I don’t. Belive you but maybe try breaking them in, the company claims they don’t work for the first few jumps
You jump from a flat foot. These are made for jumping with bent toes to get that spring
