This is our new Medic Impact vs. the competitor in their own tests. After years and years of our competitor using our twelve year old product as a comparison in these ridiculous tests, we want to show you an updated, true, and real comparison. Apparently Remind Insoles are amazing for protecting a cinder block or an egg from breaking but most importantly your feet, which is what we designed them for. Shop Here: https://remindinsoles.com
Remind Insoles pro Tommy Sandoval recently dropped in at Heeluxe Labs in Santa Barbara, California, to get a behind-the-scenes look at how insoles are tested, throw down some impact trials with the infamous “Hulk Machine,” and see firsthand how Remind stacks up against the rest of the market.
Dr. Geoffrey Gray of Heeluxe Labs welcomed us with open arms and gave us the full rundown. It was super eye-opening to see just how many insole brands exist—and even more rewarding to see how confidently Remind stands apart from the pack in all the right ways.
As Dr. Gray explains in the video, the Hulk Machine runs tests based on the globally recognized ASTM F 1976 standard—the same gold-standard metric used in footwear labs around the world to evaluate foam performance. This is legit, lab-grade testing, and it was fascinating to watch.
Through the testing, we learned that Remind Insoles performed 14% better than competitors, and 80% better than your basic, average stock insoles. To say we're humbled just wouldn't be saying enough.
There’s a lot of engineering and energy that goes into every pair of Remind Insoles, but seeing it all in motion—the numbers, the machinery, the breakdowns—makes it even more impressive. You can feel the difference when you skate them, but now you can truly see the science behind it, too.
If you’re into gear, performance, or just love nerding out over what’s going on under your feet, don’t miss the video. Tommy and Dr. Gray dive into the details and show exactly why Remind is built different.
Huge thanks to Dr. Gray and the Heeluxe crew for the time, knowledge, and data. Numbers don’t lie. Still riding stock insoles? It’s time to upgrade—your feet will thank you.
These were fun—but here’s the serious part: Remind Insoles are built on science, not stunts. We use premium, responsive materials that absorb shock, support natural movement, and keep you pain-free all day.
Whether you’re skating, snowboarding, working on your feet, or just walking through life—your insoles should work with your body, not against it.
