Worth it
Not cheap, but these insoles actually make a noticeable difference. I wouldn't play without them now.
running
next gear
These put me in a whole new gear. Running is easier, more spring in my steps. I can feel myself recovering quicker between plays. Legit technology.
No more shin splints
Had shin splints for months. Tried these and they disappeared in a week.
Excellent
Really good to wear and 100% improved my game
basketball
Great my son loves it
Son loves it for basketball
running
No placebo
no placebo. felt it first run
Better than expected
Honestly I only bought them cause my teammate wouldn't shut up about them. Ended up liking them more than I thought I would.
basketball
Worth it
I play D2 hoops and I'll be honest I thought these were a gimmick. First run with them and I knew they weren't. More pop when I drive, softer landings, and my knees don't ache the next morning.
Insane
Didn't buy these for myself but tried them once and now I won't give them back 😭🔥
basketball
Helped my son's injuries
My 16 year old son plays club basketball and was constantly coming home with sore knees. We even went to the physio who recommended expensive orthotics. I decided to try CRBN instead and it has been the best purchase. His pain has gone away and he says he feels more explosive on the court. I've noticed he recovers faster after tournaments too.
running
Finally no shin pain
My daughter runs track and used to come home complaining of shin splints. Ever since putting these insoles in, the pain is gone and she swears she's faster too.
volleyball
Perfect for volleyball
Bought for my daughter who plays volleyball three nights a week. She has flat feet and always complained of ankle soreness. After switching to CRBN insoles she hasn't mentioned pain once and she even says she is jumping higher on her spikes.
basketball
Perfect for hoopers
If you're serious about basketball these are a no brainer. You literally feel like you're playing at a higher level.
basketball
Gamechanger
Been hooping for years and nothing like this before. My jumps are higher, landings softer, everything smoother.
basketball
My secret weapon
I don't tell my teammates about these because I don't want them knowing why I keep grabbing all the rebounds.
ok
bit tight at first but breaking in now

basketball
finally dunked
Years trying, weeks training, then got these. Finally threw it down in a game.
Service and Price better than anyone
Absolutely amazing price for such insoles and great customer service and very understanding and the insoles work perfectly
worth it
Wasn't sure about the price at first but wow they actually do something. Feel fast and bouncy.
they work
I won't lie they're kinda expensive but once I used them I realized why. They actually give you spring in your step.
Game changer
i never leave reviews but i have to for this. crbn made me feel faster, lighter and gave me the confidence to go harder in games.
Takes time
first few wears felt weird. after that? yeah i get it now
basketball
Feel very safe
I was coming back to basketball after an injury. The CRBN insoles along with ankle straps make me feel so safe, it just feels it absorbs so much of the shock and the springiness and vertical is also a benefit. I really think they saved me from an injury today after landing wrong after a block attempt.
surprised
bro i didn't believe the hype but they're fire.
solid investment
Not cheap but considering how long I play in them, worth every cent. They feel durable too.
Actually works
thought this was cap but nah. legit jumped higher my first game.
Noticeable
Could instantly feel the difference.
Straight up bounce
first time i wore these i felt like i was jumping off a trampoline. best gear i bought all year.
im actually blown away
jump sessions feel different now. way smoother on landings
Crazy tech
I honestly don't understand how they work but they do. Every jump feels easier, landings softer. They're like suspension for your feet.
basketball
Daughter loves them
Bought for my 15yo who plays rep basketball. She actually texted me after her first practice saying "these are fire." She's never said that about gear before.
Faster recovery
recovery feels faster after tournaments
unbelievable
son moves way more confidently now.
running
track I was skeptical but good asf
thought it was a gimmic its not
Really good
I would recommend for any athlete
so light
feels like carbon spring inside ur shoe.
Good but not magic
yeah they help, my landings feel nicer. i don't think they're like a cheat code tho. still solid.
was not expecting this
felt faster on cuts instantly.
Good not crazy
They help but maybe I expected too much.

good but firm
takes a bit to get used to but i think it did help my performance
soft landing
landings feel soft but push-off is strong. weird in a good way.
basketball
A real performance boost
I train for both basketball and track, and these insoles carry over for both. I feel explosive at the rim and powerful on sprints. My teammates ask what changed. CRBN changed.
running
good for sprinting but STIFF
they work but be warned they feel super stiff at first. used them in my track spikes and my starts were more explosive for sure, but they rubbed a bit. took a while to feel right, broke in after like 5 sessions. wouldn't wear them casually tho, too aggressive.
Really good
Great for vertical and speed boost. Also very comfortable 10/10
Low key crazy
thought insoles were all the same but nah. these make me feel bouncy af.
brought it to nats
felt lighter instantly. not placebo
Fresh legs
played back to back games and my legs weren't dead after the second one. never happened before.
basketball
Dunked!!
Was trying for months, got these, and threw down my first dunk. I'm shook.
basketball
Good but pricey
My son loves these in his basketball shoes, but honestly they're a bit expensive for insoles. That said, he says he plays longer without sore feet so we kept them.
its firm but good
not magic, but definitely helps. my feet thank me after games
basketball
Energy boost
feels like ur getting energy back every step. hooping feels easier with these in.
basketball
Great for young athletes
My 14 year old son just had a growth spurt and was struggling with heel pain. We put these in his basketball shoes and the difference was immediate. He says they feel springy and I can see he is moving more freely on the court.
running
track sprinter review
I'm a 100/200 guy and put CRBNs in my trainers and spikes. Noticed more pop out of blocks and def less fatigue in my shins. Also helped reduce my pronation a bit which is always good for ankles. Not gimmicky like I thought.
Ankle support
why do these make me want to jump MORE 😭
basketball
Crazy difference
put these in my lebrons and no joke i feel lighter. i can actually jump higher and i'm not even gassing it.
running
real deal
I tried a bunch of other insoles before. Nothing came close. These ones actually give me energy back when I run.
next level insoles
Way better than anything you find in a store. I tried Dr. Scholls, Nike inserts, everything. CRBN is on another level completely.
energy boost
legit feels like my shoes push me up.
Shocked how good
Honestly never cared about insoles. Tried these cause a teammate told me. Can't go back now. I feel quicker and more stable when I cut.
Solid upgrade
didnt expect much but my legs werent toast after runs solid
basketball
how
Used to dread hard court sessions. Way more manageable now
basketball
basketball
good support. especially laterally
running
Better than expected
I've tried plenty of performance insoles but none felt this effective. Jumping and sprinting both feel boosted. They're also surprisingly comfortable.
good but stiff
They feel stiff at first, not gonna lie. But after 3-4 uses they feel way better. Energy return is real though.
basketball
Great for Basketball and Track
Saw the V2s on TikTok, and I could feel springer as soon as I put them in. It took about a week for me to fully get used to them but afterward I really saw the vertical and getting started off the mark start improving. Doesn't happen instantly though sometimes, I wore it at trainings and games and really started seeing improvement. Defo reccomend, shipped really quick too
takes about a week to really feel good
thought it was placebo but nah 😭
volleyball
Didnt expect them to do much
not gonna lie I thought these were a scam at first lol but my coach swore by them. used them in my volleyball shoes and yeah ok they actually do help with takeoff. my knees used to flare up after tourneys and now they're fine. one star off cause they were a bit pricey but worth imo
crazy difference
At first I thought it was placebo but after 2 weeks my vertical is clearly better. Even my coach noticed.
Actually works
actually works. crazy.
kid loves it
my kid noticed the difference before i even asked.
Works really well
I was expecting it to work wayyy less but the moment i put it in I felt a substantial difference in everythubng. It was much more bouncier with them on, it felt way better. Should buy.
Good buy
Makes me faster, makes me feel more powerful. Price hurts a bit but quality is undeniable.
Best insoles I've had
Used Dr Scholls before but they just feel soft. These actually make me feel more explosive. Big difference.
Fresh legs
played back to back games and still felt fresh
basketball
Smooth landings
after every dunk my knees used to feel it. now i land softer. makes me wanna jump more
Meh
didn't feel much difference tbh. maybe my shoes just don't work with them.

Dunked for the first time
I'm 6ft 1 and never dunked. put these in my kyries and caught my first one. cant even lie i'm hyped.
explosive
explosive. like legit explosive
helped my knees
Noticeably less joint pain after playing ball.
basketball
Won't hoop without them
I left them out of my shoes one practice and instantly noticed the difference. Never again. These stay in my sneakers always.
Helped my posture
Unexpected benefit, but they help my alignment. I don't feel my knees collapsing in after long practices anymore. Very stable.
Big difference
LEGS DIDNT DIE AFTER RUNS.
great for knees
better than stock insoles for sure. knees feel happier
basketball
holy
im ngl i wasn't sure about these but they actually go crazy. i got these about two weeks ago, i could barely touch rim before but after like a week i was consistently hitting it and I feel like im well on the way to my first proper dunk. feel really good on the court too, can move around really well and definitely feel springier. recommend 100%

Parent review
My daughter is a competitive soccer player. She was having constant knee pain after training. Since using CRBN she hasn't complained once and says she feels faster. As a parent, I'd recommend these to anyone with an athletic teenager.
basketball
Great for Basketball
It definitely works. Vertical went up by at least two inches. very comfortable too
Extra boost
First step feels explosive. I'm quicker off the dribble.
better support
I was dealing with sore arches after every game. These insoles give way more support than normal shoes. Haven't had soreness since I started wearing them, and I feel quicker later in games too.
BOUNCEEEE
i feel like im on a trampoline. insane.
basketball
Finally got hops
Been hooping for years but I swear these insoles gave me bounce I didn't have before. Not cap.
basketball
legit good
my legs feel lighter running up the court
Works but not a miracle
Some days I swear I feel the bounce, other days not at all. It's inconsistent. They're still decent, just not reliable enough.

solid product
They give some bounce, they feel supportive. Nothing to complain about except the price.
Defo takes time
First few sessions they were stiff and uncomfortable. They've improved now, but the benefits are kind of subtle compared to what I thought I'd get.

basketball
Unreal bounce
Honestly it feels like cheating. I can grab the rim now and I've never been able to before. Every jump feels powered. I recommend these to anyone trying to level up.
running
Changed running
The insoles have changed running for me. firstly, the shock absorbtion has reduced knee pain SO MUCH, made my shin splints almost go away and overall just feel so much more comfortable especially at long distance. I have measured, and the energy return has taken time off my racing distances over the first few weeks of using them, for long and short distance. Recommend 1000%
football
Helped my daughter a lot
We bought CRBN insoles for my daughter who plays soccer. She has been dealing with constant shin splints. After two weeks in these insoles she told me the pain is gone. She said they even made her feel faster. I don't usually write reviews but these impressed me.
volleyball
Volleyball
The CRBN insoles V2 really helped me in volleyball. Landing feels much softer and feel so much springier. Taking care of my feet really is worth it and I would buy another pair 10/10
basketball
Basketball game changer
These insoles are incredible. I can feel the difference every single jump. Layups, rebounds, even just running down the court feels smoother. If you are serious about basketball, you need these.
running
Nice
Feel good when I sprint.
crazy bounce
my vert feels higher already. insane product
basketball
Game winning edge
I had the game of my life last weekend. More rebounds, faster transitions, and I credit these insoles. They just make me more explosive in every movement.
Legit helped my vert
I test my vertical every month and this was the first month I added 2 full inches. That's not normal for me. These insoles are doing something right.
impressed
pain gone after two weeks im vert impressed
Good but takes time
first two days they felt weird ngl. after that tho i started noticing my legs didn't get as tired.
Best insoles I tried
used nike insoles before but these actually feel different. more bounce off the floor and way better stability.
basketball
Son loves them for basketball
My son was begging me for these and I finally caved and got these for his birthday... I wasn't sure but he says they're really good, and helped him with his jumping in basketball. He's also not complaining of his feet hurting anymore but not sure if that's related. The team were very helpful too when I had questions.
Fire

Like a springboard
Jumping is easier. Running is smoother. My feet don't ache after practice anymore. I'm telling all my teammates about CRBN.
Energy return is real
every step feels like it pushes me back up. totally different feel than normal insoles.
volleyball
Great for volleyball
I play outside hitter and these actually help me get higher on my spikes. Landings feel way smoother too.
WTAF
cuts feel way cleaner
These work
my bro put them in his shoes and even i can see he jumps higher
Break in period
stiff at first. worth it once broken in

BEST
Great increase in vertical and speed when I wear my insoles while playing volleyball
netball
Happy
My kid uses them for netball, swears by them.
fresh legs
fresh legs even late game
football
staying in my boots forever
Tried CRBNs before state futsal and wow...felt so much more reactive. I'm on my toes quicker, cuts feel cleaner, coaches even asked what changed. Best insole I've tried (and I've tried heaps lol)
Game changer
lowkey changed how my shoes feel completely
Good for training
I use them mostly during plyometric drills. I can definitely tell the difference when they're not in. Solid piece of kit for athletes.
really good man
LEGS DIDNT DIE AFTER BACK TO BACK GAMES. HUGE
running
Worth It
I've been using the CRBN carbon fiber insoles for a few weeks now, and they've made a big difference in my training. The support is excellent-especially during sprints and quick direction changes-and my feet feel way less tired after long sessions. They are stiff at first, but once I got used to them, the added stability and energy return were totally worth it. Not cheap, but for serious sports use, I'd say they're a solid investment.
football
Insane for cuts
play football and these help with quick cuts like crazy. no foot pain either.
basketball
Never hoop without them
forgot them once and my legs felt dead. learned my lesson.
takes a minute but great
best purchase i made this season. no debate
basketball
First dunk in game
I was always so close to dunking but just couldn't get there in game situations. With CRBN I finally pulled one off last week. I felt so much more explosive and confident driving to the rim. They gave me that last little edge I needed.
Instant bounce
fire
basketball
Good support
I play rec basketball and needed something for ankle stability. These really do hold my feet better and I feel safer when I'm cutting.
Better than expected
Bought for my son, he said they feel super springy and now he wants another pair for school shoes.
Bouncy from day one
felt bouncy from day one. hard courts dont hurt anymore
Happy with purchase
They're comfy, supportive, and make me feel light on my feet. Would buy again.
Saved my season
I had plantar fasciitis and thought I'd have to sit out. These insoles legit saved me. I can play pain free again.
basketball
Never hoop without them
forgot them once and my legs felt dead. learned my lesson.
Immediate effect
jumped higher first gam no cap
took some time
They felt awkward at first but once I broke them in, wow. I feel bouncy.
Less fatigue
Played Christmas Eve pickup and felt lighter than usual. Great timing.
basketball
huge help
My brother and I both got a pair. We test our verticals all the time and we both went up an inch. It might not sound like a lot but on the court that's massive. Totally worth it.
Crazy bounce
bounce off the floor feels crazy
Not bad
Good quality, still breaking them in tho.

running
explosive energy
The first time I tried CRBN I felt like my legs were loaded springs. It's not subtle, the responsiveness is immediate. Landings feel cushioned, takeoffs feel like you're being launched. I've shaved time off my sprints too.
They just don't move me much
They fit well and seem well made. I just don't feel a big impact when playing ball. Maybe they work better for lighter players?

tried a lot of performance stuff. this ones legit
Muito bom
Muito bom. Salto mais alto e menos dor depois do jogo
love these
Feel light and powerful.
basketball
More than just basketball
I bought them for hoops but now I use them when I run and even for lifting. The support they give my feet makes such a difference in stability and explosion. I actually PR'd my box jump last week.
basketball
Not for me
They felt too stiff in my runners. Probably better for basketball shoes. I went back to my old insoles.

Dope
I was skeptical but they actually slap.
Didn't fit in my shoe but great service with refund
I've seen so many reels of these and I was really excited to give them a go, but when they arrived they didn't fit. I have really narrow custom shoes which I had specially ordered, I've struggled getting insoles in before. I sent them an email and it was a really easy return process, they got back to me the same day and I just shipped it back. got the full refund within 2 days without any issues. great service would recommend but it was a shame they didn't fit.
It's good but it took longer than I thought
They felt really comfortable when I first put them in and I definitely felt springier. I was maybe a bit unsure at first because I tested my vertical on the first day with and without, it was only a bit more. I trained with it and played games and I'm feeling like it's helping support me definitely. I started seeing the vertical go up about two weeks later but I'm not sure if its the insoles
Boost
literally feels like a spring in your shoe
basketball
Never hoop without them
I play college ball and these are my edge. I don't care if anyone thinks it's just an insole, the difference is obvious. More lift, less stress on my joints, better performance overall.
Great customer service
Ordered the wrong size. They swapped them super fast and now I use them for every game.
basketball
for basketball
Best sports purchase I made this year, no question
helps a lot for vertical
helps more than i expected honestly.
two inches just like that
Boa absorcao no impacto. Muito confortavel
smooth landings
landings feel smooth. makes jumping fun again lol
still testing
I only used them twice so far but first impression is very positive. Feel powerful.
