The short answer
Currex says its insoles last "at least 400 to 600 miles" and we couldn't find any testing behind that. Ours come with a 1,000-mile cushioning guarantee, and in testing by Heeluxe, an independent lab, they kept 87% of their cushioning after 1,389 miles. Ours also have a grippy NonSlip top, published performance testing and a 90-day guarantee, even if worn, compared with Currex's 60 days. Per mile, ours cost 5 to 6.5 cents. Currex's cost 10 to 15 cents by their own numbers.

Where Blumaka comes out ahead
Arch support that holds your whole foot. In medium and high arch, our support is one molded piece that wraps and cradles your foot from the heel through the arch. Currex uses a separate arch piece with what it calls a decoupled heel cup.
Close to twice the mileage, with proof. Currex says 400 to 600 miles. We guarantee 1,000, and an independent lab measured 87% of our cushioning still there after 1,389 miles. That's 5 to 6.5 cents a mile for ours, against 10 to 15 cents for Currex.
Real test numbers. In independent biomechanical performance testing, 90% of athletes ran faster, 80% stopped faster and 80% increased lower-body stability. Currex's headline number is a customer survey.
Your foot stays put. Our NonSlip top grips your sock. Currex uses a moisture-wicking top cover.
