Made properly, not dropshipped
We work directly with manufacturers and a certified pedorthist to build the V2. We don't buy a generic insole and rebrand it, and we never will.
About CRBN
Carbon tech, minus the import tax.
CRBN exists because imported carbon insoles cost too much and took too long. So we built our own, locally, with a certified pedorthist, and priced for the athletes who actually need it.
Our mission is boring on purpose: make one insole, make it great.
We don't have a catalogue of forty products. We have the CRBN V2, a carbon fibre performance insole we obsess over, built directly with manufacturers and experts so we never have to compromise on quality. We believe in it fully, and we're proud it's backed by athletes, a certified pedorthist, and the teams we sponsor.
Priced like it's for athletes
Most carbon insoles are imported and cost more than the shoes they go in. We make a genuinely high-performance insole that a 15-year-old can actually afford.
Australian owned & operated
Designed here, shipped free from Sydney, with local returns. No customs, no three-week wait, no overseas support desk.
Certified design, not a marketing claim
Meet Karl Kang,
the pedorthist behind CRBN.
We didn't buy a generic insole and slap a logo on it. We built CRBN directly with Karl Kang, a pedorthist certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics, with over 25 years designing quality insoles. Through Karl, the V2 plate was worked on with NBA G League athletes.

Team Sphera is the #1-ranked AAU basketball program in Sydney, and the whole roster competes in CRBN V2 across the national AAU circuit. When a starter pulls their shoe off mid-game to show the insole, that's the product doing the talking.
