Running is one of the most economical sports activities in the world, because it only needs your body and the desire to run.
Running barefoot, however, is not suitable for everyone.
So the first thing most runners want is a pair of shoes, and once you go through the rabbit hole, you will quickly realize that you will find a pair of long shoes that are reasonably priced
Running is not as easy as it sounds.
Shapecrunch, an Indian startup, wants to change this by moving your attention away from the shoes and moving to the inside of the shoes --the insole.
This is the padded layer inside the shoe and your feet are placed on it.
Shapecrunch makes custom correction for 3D printing, which means customization
It believes that these insoles are more effective in controlling pain and preventing injuries than expensive shoes.
\"The whole industry is not made by doctors, but by marketers . . . . . . When high heels are made, the doctor should stand up and say it is not correct.
This is marketing. You can do everything and sell everything.
This is something we don\'t like, \"Nitin Gandhi
The founder of Shapecrunch told Gadgets 360 during a meeting at the Heal Institute, a sports injury prevention clinic in Khar, a suburb of Mumbai.
\"We haven\'t got into that cool quotient yet.
We mainly sell for people who seek functional products and very good quality from professionals and doctors.
We sell it as a medical device.
Instead of spending rupees, Gandhi said, it would be better to invest in a pair of affordable running shoes and buy a pair of Shapecrunch custom insoles.
Although he clearly has a vested interest in saying this, more than 10,000 of people wear running shoes.
He showed us the insole for shoes worth more than Rs, which illustrates this.
13,000 from popular brands.
The insole of Shapecrunch is thicker, the support is more obvious, and the back is tilted down from left to right.
Gandhi said it was customized according to the needs of a person\'s feet, rather than a mass-produced insole.
