Milford, Connecticut (August 28, 2025) – VKTRY Gear, a pioneer in carbon fiber sports performance insoles, today announced its entry into the rapidly growing, foam-dominated recovery footwear market with the VKTRY Recovery Clog: The World’s First Carbon Fiber Recovery Clog.

Jamie Creps, Senior Physical Therapist, Boston Red Sox, said:

“The new VKTRY Recovery Clog represents a dramatic step forward in recovery footwear. Its patented carbon fiber plate and built-in rocker sole provide stability and a smooth heel-to-toe gait transition to keep mechanics aligned when fatigue sets in, something foam-only recovery shoes aren’t built for. With added cushioning and ventilation, I think VKTRY Recovery Clogs are the most comfortable and effective recovery shoe an athlete can wear.”

Designed by VKTRY founder and Board Certified Pedorthist, Matthew Arciuolo, the VKTRY Recovery Clog features proprietary Carbon Cloud Technology™, a three-part recovery system built to deliver the same features and benefits of a custom orthotic:

  1. Patented Full-Length Carbon Fiber Baseplate – Designed to move with you and spring back into shape for lighter, easier steps on heavy legs.
  2. Wave-Textured, Ultra-Cushioned Footbed – Built to promote blood flow and provide structured comfort after intense impact and effort.
  3. Contoured Rocker Sole with Arch Support and Deep Heel Cup – Supports natural movement and keeps body mechanics aligned, even when fatigued.

Dr. Andrew Hsu, Chief of Foot & Ankle Surgery, University of California-Irvine (UCI) Orthopedics, said:

“VKTRY Recovery Clogs are a vital component of daily foot health, providing comfort, stability, and energy return through a cushioned slip-on design with a full-length carbon fiber plate. I use VKTRY Performance Insoles in all my shoes and switch to VKTRY Recovery Clogs after work and workouts to keep my feet supported throughout the day. Together, they give me comprehensive foot protection, reduce my risk of injury, and help me get the most out of every step.”

VKTRY will donate gently used Recovery Clog returns to Soles4Souls, giving each pair a second life through reuse and redistribution.

The VKTRY Recovery Clogs are available in two colors, Carbon Black and Cloud White. The VKTRY Recovery Slides, a new style featuring the same proprietary recovery technology, will be available later this year.
