WHICH CARBON IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Adaptive flex or maximum rigidity?

Both carbon models integrate the plate into the insole, add the full-surface NonSlip top cover, and sit on the same performance cushioning. Choose the plate that matches your needs.

NONLINEAR STIFFNESS

Why is the Carbon Elite a solution for forefoot injuries?

The GearFlex plate embedded inside the Carbon Elite is designed to stay flexible through normal movement, then increase resistance as forefoot bend and load rise. Flexibility and comfort that doesn't sacrifice the structure that protects you.

  • 01

    Flexible

    Low resistance through ordinary movement, so the foot is free in the performance range.

  • 02

    Stiffness engaged

    Resistance increases as load and forefoot bend increase.

  • 03

    Peak stiffness

    Added resistance at the top of the bending range, where demand on the forefoot is greatest.

Athletic trainers and medical providers have been using the Carbon Elite to treat Turf Toe, Lis Franc, and Jones fractures.

Research on variable-stiffness carbon insoles found reduced peak forefoot bending during sprint acceleration, and reductions in selected knee and ankle loading measures. See the methodology

THE FOAM UNDER THE CARBON

Better Cushioning. More Energy Return. That Lasts.

The Carbon Elite is built on the same high-performance ETPU foam platform as the rest of the Blumaka line. Crafted with up to 85% recycled foam, it absorbs shock while the carbon protects the forefoot.

Reviews

Speed and Comfort

"Insoles provide comfort, stability, and feedback when playing soccer on artificial turf or natural grass. My only suggestion is to make them a bit more narrow in the forefoot to fit in shoes more properly."

Oliver (5/5)

"Not enough cushion and not enough stiffness of carbon fiber plate — its ok but there are better ways to accomplish whatever ailment youre tackling especially considering the cost. Not horrible but would not purchase again."

Alexander (2/5)

Does not fit right in my soccer boots

"Every time I put the insole in the boot it crumples up in the toe area. It needs to be stiffer on the front part. So have to go back to my other insoles."

Mark (3/5)

Add bigger sizes already!

"I’m a writing a review in regards of this item not having my size which is 17-17. 5. I’ve waited long enough and I’m to the point of giving up."

Jonathan K. (1/5)

Great perfromance but give you blister.

"The nonslip carbon insole is great perfromance insole, you can feel the energy return with each forward push. However there are 2 big drawbacks. 1. Arguably the price is a bit steep compare to other insoles. 2. The nonslip aspect has a friction affect that give my toes a big blister. Long duration of using the insole for more than 2 hours is not recommended. Even with my new cushioned socks, the friction is noticable & uncomfortable during long play time."

Tin V. (3/5)

Amazing Products!

"I'm a HUGE fan of Blumaka. Superior on court/field performance paired with a better-for-the-planet solution is a slam dunk! Stuart and the Blumaka team are helping athletes succeed and the planet remain. Thank you!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your return and refund policy? +

We are proud to offer a 90 Day Performance Guarantee, which means that if you're not completely thrilled by your Blumaka insoles, you have a full 90 days after receiving your item to request a return and receive a full refund even after you've worn them. To start a return, contact us at help@blumaka.com.

What is your shipping policy? +

We offer free shipping on all orders in the United States. We will ship in 24 hours after receiving your order excluding weekends and major holidays.

Are your mailers recyclable? +

Yes, our mailers are recyclable. We chose a 100% recycled brown paper envelope as our mailer because nearly every recycling center around the world can accept paper and recycle it.

How many miles/how long can I wear a pair of Blumaka insoles? +

Our Blumaka insoles are made with the most durable foam on the market, which is why we offer a 1,000 mile cushioning guarantee. Most running shoes lose their cushioning long before 1,000 miles, so you can expect your Blumaka insoles to outlast three to four pairs of shoes.

Can I send my Blumaka insoles to you to recycle when I am done? +

Not yet, but we are working to make this possible. Sign up for our email list and we will email you when this is available.

What should I do with the old insoles I take out of my shoes? +

We recommend donating insoles that are still in good condition, or you can turn them into a fun art project!

Which Arch Support is right for me? +

Blumaka's insoles come in three arch support options: Contoured Arch for low or normal arches, Medium Arch for average arch heights, and High Arch for high arches.

Is low profile best for my shoe/sport? +

Low-profile insoles are designed for sports and shoes where space is limited. If your sport uses shoes with more room, a max-cushion insole might be a better fit.

How do I use/clean Blumaka insoles? +

Remove insoles from shoes and hand wash with mild soap and water. Air dry completely before reinserting.
