How SmartCells Work:

1. Stable Support: Optimized for Human Performance
how_it_works_01_98a5da24

SmartCells® Cushioning Technology products have a “resting state” – much like a non-compressed spring – with a natural, supportive, upright force that provides a compressible, soft surface that is also stable and supportive for training.

 

2. Cushion on Impact: The More Force, the Softer it Becomes
how_it_works_02_4576b6a5

SmartCells® Training & Therapy Products compress and absorb the forces from high-impact activities and rehabilitation. . After reaching a “critical threshold” the cellular structures soften and collapse laterally, without bottoming out.

 

3. Return Energy: In Phase with your Natural Movement
how_it_works_03_d1fe6083

Like miniature springs, SmartCells® training mats and products store impact energy until pressure is reduced or eliminated. The SmartCells® resilient rubber material and structure work “in-phase” with body movements to actively rebound, releasing their stored energy back into the body.

Playing as many as 4-5 days a week means my feet and joints take a pounding on the pickleball court. I had a few aches and pains starting to arise. 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. I had tried many other options and to me, Zelus was by far the best. I would recommend these to anyone needing additional foot support and pain relief.
