Milford, Connecticut (October 29, 2025) – VKTRY Gear, maker of the world’s first carbon fiber sports insole, today announced a new partnership with the University of Houston Men’s Basketball Team. The Cougars will train and compete this season with VKTRY’s Gold Performance Insoles, leveraging the brand’s advanced carbon-fiber innovation to maximize protection, power, and performance in their quest for a return to the National Championship.
“When you’re running and jumping on your feet as much as we are, it’s important to have the best equipment protecting you, whether you are in a game, at practice or in the weight room. My teammates and I are grateful for VKTRY Gear and all their support this season.”— Emanuel Sharp, Houston Cougars Guard
Born from sport science, VKTRY Insoles were designed by a certified pedorthist to help athletes unlock their full potential. Each insole features a patented, full-length baseplate made from 100 percent aerospace-grade carbon fiber, engineered for enhanced energy return with every step.
Independent third-party testing has shown measurable gains in vertical jump height and sprint speed, along with better protection against common foot and lower-leg injuries, among athletes tested wearing VKTRY Insoles.
Athletes from more than 600 professional and collegiate teams — including Alabama Football, Georgia Football, Vanderbilt Baseball, Texas A&M Baseball, Wake Forest Baseball, USA Bobsled, UConn Basketball and more — proudly wear VKTRY Insoles.
