X-Line Run Insoles for Running Shoes
The biomechanics of your feet and legs are different when you are running (compared to walking), therefore increasing the need for supportive, appropriate insoles for each activity. Specifically designed for runners, the X-Line Run Insoles for Running Shoes reduce fatigue when running, by assisting foot function rather than restricting normal foot motions and movements.
What's Included?
- 1 x Pair of Insoles
- 1 x Pair of 4° Rearfoot Wedges
Sizing Information for X-Line Insoles for Running
The X-Line Run Insoles are available in four different sizes that should suit most adults. To find your best size, simply match your shoe size to the table below.
To ensure a precise level of fit, we recommend removing the existing insole from your shoes and measuring the length and width at the longest and widest point as shown in the image below. Match these measurements to the dimensions listed below in order to find the pair that will best fit your shoes.
Size | UK Shoe Size | Dimensions (Length x Width) |
---|
Small | Size 3 - 5 | 253 x 90mm |
Medium | Size 6 - 8 | 270 x 96mm |
Large | Size 9 - 11 | 290 x 100mm |
Extra Large | Size 12 - 14 | 305 x 107mm |

Specially Designed Insoles for Runners
The X-Line Run Insoles are designed for the needs of runners, whether you're a professional sportsman, an amateur, or like to do the odd run every now and again. An excellent companion for your running shoes, the insoles reduce foot fatigue when running by working with your foot function rather than restricting normal foot motions or movements such as pronation.
Why Do Runners Need Different Insoles?
Running is different to walking because the forces on the body are higher and the locomotion pattern is different. Therefore, different insoles for running and walking are ideal for best support.
Walking involves a single-limb supporting period between two-double limb support phases, which means you’ll always have at least one foot on the ground and sometimes both when walking! Running, on the other hand, consists of a single-limb support between periods of aerial flight, where at times neither of your feet is in contact with the ground. This changes the biomechanics within your legs.
Includes 4° Rearfoot Wedges for Unstable Feet
For users with feet which are unstable or develop instability with fatigue on the inside arch (called the Inner Longitudinal Arch, ILA or MLA), the included rearfoot wedges can be added onto the insoles. These uniquely shaped wedges add support and height to the middle part of the insole in shoes where the arch lowers the most.
If you feel that your arch requires more cushioning or if you still experience fatigue when using these insoles, you can add the wedges to increase the arch geometry. Should you find the insoles work well enough without the wedges, you can easily remove them from the shoes.
How Do I Attach the Wedges Onto the Runners' Insoles?
The rearfoot wedges included with the insoles can be attached to the underside of the insole in running shoes quickly and easily. They can also be removed easily when not required.
Excellent as Part of a Muscle Fatigue Prevention Plan
Those who participate in sports and running are at higher risk of developing delayed onset muscle fatigue, which usually develops 12-48 hours after intensive and/or unusual eccentric muscle action. Wearing the X-Line Run Insoles in your running shoes and strengthening your feet with foot therapy ball exercises could help reduce the risk of, and/or delay muscle fatigue.
