The Latest Insole Innovation - Blumaka NonSlip Carbon Elite
By Stuart Jenkins - Blumaka Founder and CEO
Introducing the Blumaka NonSlip Carbon Elite: Power, Protection, Propulsion
Football cleats have come a long way. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor have spent hundreds of millions chasing speed, agility, and protection. But despite all that investment, turf toe remains one of the most common and frustrating injuries in the game.
That’s where two innovation-driven companies—Blumaka and Carbitex—stepped in and changed the game with a single insole.
The Blumaka NonSlip Carbon Elite is built around the Carbitex GearFlex G3 carbon fiber plate, a breakthrough in propulsion and joint protection. This plate flexes naturally as you run, but stiffens throughout the gait cycle—locking out at 22 degrees of backward bend. This stops over-rotation of the MTP joint, helping reduce the risk of turf toe and accelerating recovery if you're already dealing with it.
Traditional turf toe inserts use stainless steel or ultra-stiff carbon plates. They offer protection—but at the cost of natural movement. Think Herman Munster trying to run in boots.
Blumaka’s solution is different. The GearFlex plate features asymmetrical stiffness—it bends easily forward for a natural gait but resists backward motion to protect the toe joint. No other turf toe system offers this combination of protection and agility.
On top of the plate sits Blumaka’s Konnect NonSlip grip layer, proven in pro sports to dramatically reduce foot slippage inside the shoe. In an independent study of over 200 professional athletes:
- 80% improved their start/stop speed
- 90% ran faster overall
- 80% reported improved lower-body stability, from the knee down
That means more speed, better control, and less risk of injury.
Why it matters:
- Helps prevent turf toe by limiting overextension of the big toe joint
- Acts like a starting block in your cleat for explosive power
- Compatible with Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and other cleats
- Reduces in-shoe slippage for better traction and fewer injuries
- Pairs advanced carbon fiber tech with proven non-slip performance
The cleat brands make good shoes. Blumaka and Carbitex just made them better.
The Proof
A professional sports team’s biomechanics lab conducted an independent study utilizing 200 athletes comparing Blumaka Nonslip Insoles with standard insoles.
Blumaka's Nonslip Insoles delivered a statistically significant performance advantage on every key metric.
