Blumaka’s Wide Toe Box insole is shaped for the natural forefoot splay of wide-toe-box and zero-drop footwear from day one.
The shoe wall doesn’t look like it did five years ago. Altra, Topo Athletic, Xero Shoes Vivobarefoot and some others are built around one idea: letting the foot spread and toes work. But there’s a problem with the insoles. Cushioning wears out. Stock insoles wear out faster. When it’s time to replace what’s underfoot, most aftermarket insoles are still built for a narrow, tapered last. Those must be cut rather than being built to fit.
“Why buy shoes shaped like your feet and insoles that aren’t?” said Stuart Jenkins, Founder of Blumaka. “If your insole fitting process starts with scissors, it wasn’t made for your shoe.”
Blumaka’s Wide Toe Box insole requires no scissors or trimming and has no gaps at the edges. It carries the standard Blumaka is already known for: 1,000 miles of cushioning that performs on mile 999 the way it did on mile one, built from 85 percent reclaimed athletic footwear foam. They’re available now starting at $55.
That’s the same durability professional athletes, runners, and everyday wearers already rely on, week after week, mile after mile. Now it meets the shape the sport is moving toward.
Based in Goleta, California, Blumaka builds performance insoles trusted across professional and collegiate sports. They are used by 22 professional football teams and dozens of Division I programs across soccer, basketball, football, lacrosse, field hockey, and volleyball. Elite runners, hikers and athletes around the world also use them.
Blumaka reclaims athletic footwear waste foam and rebuilds it into performance products. The insoles are 85 percent recycled foam, engineered for durability and support built to hold up to competition at the highest level.
