Increase Your Speed and Power: Why Non-slip Insoles Are a Volleyball Must-Have

Volleyball is all about speed, control, and explosiveness—and Blumaka insoles helped me master all three. Blumaka’s Non-slip insoles have been nothing short of transformative on and off the court.

From the moment I slid Blumaka insoles into my shoes, I noticed an immediate improvement in the traction between my feet and my shoes. I feel like I have so much more stability and control in my movements on the court. The first time I wore Blumaka insoles I noticed I could change directions more quickly which is everything in volleyball. As an outside hitter, I’m constantly moving every which way as fast as possible and then exploding up to block or transition into attacking the ball. I was surprised that with the increased grip, there was no sacrifice in comfort. The cushioning is soft, providing just the right amount of support without feeling rigid. 

As someone who spends a great deal of time on their feet lifting in a weight room, training speed and agility in a gym, and practicing volleyball on a court, finding the right support for my feet has always been a challenge. Just like my dear old dad I have narrow feet, which sometimes slip around inside of my shoes. (One of my most notably embarrassing moments in my career at Bradley was literally jumping out of a shoe during a home game!) I’ve tried a variety of insoles in the past (which always ended up with holes in them), but none have provided the level of comfort and grip that Blumaka insoles have. 

One added benefit of Blumaka insoles is that 85% of this product is made of recycled materials that would have otherwise gone to landfills. That truly resonates with me as I’m a big advocate for conservation, sustainability, and reducing waste. So that’s something you can feel good about.  

I’m so grateful to have found Blumaka insoles. I’m positive they have helped improve my speed and explosiveness and will definitely give me an edge in my next volleyball season. I just wish I had found them sooner!
