    The First Pair I Tried Is Great. They’re Responsive And Have Very Little Added Anything. They’re No Frills And Flat. This Is Important To Me Because I Don’t Want My Feet To Feel Forced Into An Unnatural Position. After Putting Hundreds Of Miles On My Legs Already In 2017, I Really Like The Stress-Reducing Design. I’ve Worn These In My Retired Running Shoes And My Feet Have Been Very Happy.

Knees, Plantar Fasciitis, Hips All Were Sore And Aching After Playing For Hours. I Found Zelus Insoles After Extensive Searching And Was Instantly Hooked. Not Only Did The Soreness And Joint Pain Go Away, I Found That My Legs And Feet Weren’t As Tired After Playing. The Support And Comfort Of These Insoles Is Incredible.

This Will Be Game Changing For Athletes And Allow Them To Perform Longer And Perform At Their Best.”

Zelus Triple Threat


We get it. Shopping for insoles is tough. With so many options at your fingertips, how do you pick the right one?

Most insoles are designed for either performance OR medical purposes, but only one is specifically engineered to improve performance AND help prevent injuries AND kick pain to the curb.

Prevent Injuries

Our insoles are strategically designed for healthy feet (and bodies) that would like to remain that way. Sure, you feel good now, but does that mean you should just be content and sit around and wait for a painful problem to arise?

Like getting an oil change for your car; taking preventative measures for your feet will help decrease issues in the future. Plus, our SmartCells Technology offloads up to 20% of the impact force you put in, providing your body an out of this world, next-gen cushioning that your feet will thank you for.

Reduce Impact

Our insoles are constructed with a cushioning system unlike anything else on the planet. There is literally no other insole that has the ability or capability to give you the Zelus level of comfort. It’s all thanks to our patented SmartCells Cushioning.

When you have the best anti-fatigue, impact-absorbing tech in your shoes, to say that your feet will feel amazing would be an understatement. Plus, with our varied and unique lineup of insoles, reaching unmatched levels of pain-reduction has never been easier.

Improve Performance

Our insoles are specifically engineered with design elements and materials taken right from a high-class, fully functional orthotic — just like the ones trainers give to their athletes AND doctors give to their patients.

By leveraging the deep orthotic roots of Fastech Labs, we have developed an unmatched off-the-shelf prefab solution to support your feet where they will function best. And when your feet are correctly in place, there is no stopping you from performing at your highest possible level.
