Can insoles help you jump higher in basketball?
Asked 2 months ago
Hey guys, I've been playing basketball for a while now and I'm always looking for ways to improve my game. I've heard some people say that insoles can help you jump higher, but I'm not sure if that's true or just a marketing gimmick. Has anyone tried using insoles specifically for basketball and noticed a difference in their jumping ability? I don't want to waste my money on something that won't actually help me, so any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Orthotics used for basketball generally could provide some benefit in allowing the user to jump higher. However, the great benefit comes in when landing on the ground after a jump. Orthotics will reduce the shock placed through the legs and feet upon landing, helping you avoid the chances of developing an injury. The benefit comes in with the added comfort and improved biomechanics allowing the user to reach maximum athletic potential.
