@@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.

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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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)
@@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
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.
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
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.
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 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!!!!
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🤷🏻♂️
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.
Listen, if you can jump without these, you will be able to do so with the insoles. If you cant jump without these, you wont be able to with these, as easy as that.
Just thinking about how it bends, (the direction) when you jump it would actually push you back down, their claim makes absolutely no sense. Pushing the shoe down like they do in the advertising and letting it go has NOTHING to do with the direction u are jumping, it actually pushes back down, pops on the floor then goes up in the air. There is no force created pushing up when you are actually jumping, zero. It pushes back down towards the floor people! 😂

Maybe you think that because they sponsor you?
Thx for this review! As a player myself thinking about getting these, it helps out finally having a review that’s not sponsored.
it is sponsored look at the pinned comment
@@Skoot_-71watch the vid atleast
I have them. They suck
@@TheRoadLessChosengood to know 😭
@@TheRoadLessChosenwdym for me they gave me 3 or 4 inches of vert
The real crime is this video being recorded in vertical
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
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.

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

@AzureAscend what I'm sayin is that it's more than just the vert so people overlook that
@@rastapaez3992 yeah a bit. You just feel more quick and explosive all the time
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
I’ve been thinking about this for a while thank you for doing this
i was waiting for someone like u to do a review
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 👍
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
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.

I wonder, have you ever tried the move insoles ?
thanks bro very much i save my money ❤❤
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!
yeah that was a straight up review. most of the jordan’s have a carbon fibre shank anyway.
are your arms short? im 6'2 and i got a 8ft standing reach, no hate just a genuine question
You got some nice shoes!!!
Did you have to trim the insoles at all to fit?
Can you see how fast you run in them? In the ad it says they make you run faster
Holy shit 8’2 standing reach is nuts
It’s funny they have a casual one now too
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
How about jumping first with the insoles? Thank you
Did you break them in? Or does that not matter?
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.
They do actually work I have them and they did make a huge difference
What shoes are those?
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
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 😎
Thanks. Knew it was cap
Will you be using the yourself in the future?
So far yes. I have been using them the last few days
In my opinion,, simply good insoles are enough for athletics,
How tall are you?
My conclusion is it’s biased, he has a 20% off link they sponsored him, I doubt it actually did anything

@@MrBeardedDragon oh ok its just ive had mine for a bit and when i first got them they where pretty stiff but after a week or 2 they got alot better

20% off? Where?
The extra inch vertical is probably just from the extra inch of height the insoles gave you.
