Before NFL locker rooms, before world-class biomechanics labs, and before tens of thousands of athletes began swearing by Blumaka insoles — the trail is where it all began. Long before Blumaka became a leader in performance footwear technology, its first problem to solve was simple but critical: how do you stop your foot from sliding inside your shoe on rugged terrain?
The answer was the original Blumaka NonSlip insole — designed specifically for trail running.
The Rabbit High Country: Powered by Blumaka
That same innovation now lives inside the Rabbit High Country, one of the most anticipated trail shoes of the year. While the spotlight might be on Rabbit’s entry into the trail footwear market, a key element of the shoe’s performance advantage lies beneath the surface: the Blumaka NonSlip FoamLock insole with Zonal Grip Tech.
This isn’t just an insole — it’s a performance system built to anchor your foot in place when every second counts. Trail runners face unpredictable terrain, sudden shifts in movement, and constant elevation changes. A foot that slides even slightly in the shoe can cost stability, increase injury risk, and sap power. That’s why Rabbit chose Blumaka to build the insole for its trail debut. Because when you’re bounding up loose gravel or descending sharp switchbacks, your foot shouldn’t budge.
Built for Trail Running — From Day One
Blumaka’s NonSlip insoles were built to solve exactly this problem. The ‘FoamLock’ grip layer delivers targeted traction between sock and insole, eliminating internal foot slippage without compromising comfort. Independent lab testing has shown that athletes using Blumaka insoles consistently start and stop faster, hit longer stride lengths, and experience greater lower-body stability. These aren’t small gains — they’re game-changing advantages for anyone pushing the limits off-road.
A Full-Circle Moment for Blumaka
What makes this story even more powerful is that Blumaka didn’t pivot to trail running — trail running is in its DNA. CEO and founder Stuart Jenkins originally developed the NonSlip insole to tackle the exact demands that trail runners face: wet terrain, steep climbs, unpredictable footing. Rabbit’s new High Country shoe is not just a product collaboration — it’s a full-circle moment for Blumaka.
Sustainable. Durable. Trail-Tested.
Add in the sustainability advantage — with insoles made from up to 85% recycled foam — and you’ve got a shoe that performs at the highest level and helps reduce waste in an industry that discards hundreds of thousands of tons of foam waste every year.
Performance. Comfort. Sustainability. It’s all built in — from the ground up.
With Blumaka NonSlip inside, Rabbit’s High Country isn’t just another trail shoe. It’s proof that when your foot stays locked in, you are free to roam.
