VersaLifts V2 Heel Lift Inserts
VersaLifts V2 Heel Lifts aren't here to help you get higher, the athletic shoe inserts are here to help you get lower. Made for people who want to squat deep, but have limited ankle mobility (yes, apparently there is a critical mass of that very specific group of people out there) VersaLifts V2s are designed to elevate the heels and, in turn, increase the heel-to-toe drop by 1/2". The result is a "drastically improved" squat in terms of movement pattern, positioning, and depth.
Whether you're in CrossFit, working out with a trainer, or just trying to get low, low, low, low, low, low, low like Shawty on the dance floor, VersaLifts notes the squat will probably be your foundation of that strength and conditioning work. If you don't have the ankle flexure needed to squat properly, you'll likely end up using poor form and / or limiting your range of motion and reducing the exercise's benefits. V2 Heel Lifts don't seem like much, but VersaLifts say the simple addition of these polymer inserts to your sneakers or trainers will provide just the boost you need to counteract mobility issues, and squat to your fullest potential.
Check out V2 Heel Lift Inserts if you need to up your down game - particularly if you struggle with overhead and pistol squats - or if you're looking for a gift for an athlete.
