What is the difference between carbon fiber insoles like VKTRY and carbon fiber shoes? What are the benefits of carbon fiber insoles? Are there certain running related injuries that may respond best to carbon fiber insoles. Can these help plantar fasciitis, achilles tendon pain, and 1st toe joint arthritis?
