Best oztag insoles
2620 insoles for oztag
Uniquely customizable, G8 2620s give you unmatched support, stability, and power. They also help prevent Oztag injuries and noticeably improve agility and stamina.
Oztag and the feet
To play the game of Oztag well, you well-know you need lightning feet to enable you to pass and catch on the run and swiftly side-step the opposition.
Your lightning feet need the agility to duck and weave, the power to kick and the stamina to endure.
People are often surprised by the idea that you can make your feet stronger. It’s an often-overlooked fact that the human foot is made up of 29 muscles working together.
And just like our biceps or abs or glutes, all of our 29 foot muscles benefit from being worked and strengthened.
Strengthening your feet may seem like a strange idea – and involves more than doing laps of the oval.
To explain, let’s think for a moment about how the foot is designed to work.
Before the invention of the humble shoe, man was barefoot. We ran, walked, hunted and played without restriction, and our feet moved naturally.
Feet are biomechanically designed to flex, splay, contract, roll and extend.

Oztag players are especially prone to lower-limb injuries
Injuries like:
- Patella tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
- Calf tear or rupture
- Ankle issues
- Plantar fascia rupture
- Achilles tendon damage
- Ankle injuries
- Lower leg and knee damage
Sprains and strains:
These injuries often occur to the ankles, knees, and wrists from sudden movements or changes of direction.
Soft tissue injuries:
These injuries can occur to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments from overuse or repetitive motion.
Overuse injuries:
These injuries can occur due to playing too much or training too hard, such as stress fractures or tendonitis.
And so, it is vital to strengthen your feet to prevent lower limb injury.
From injury prevention to performance
Unfortunately, even the most technologically advanced sports shoes restrict foot movement, and this can lead to foot weakness and even injury.
There is a way to actually strengthen your feet – and this can be achieved whether you’re in pre-season training, gameday competition, going for a sunset stroll or doing your grocery shopping.
Leonardo da Vinci said, “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.”
When we study the engineering of the foot, we discover that it’s designed to move dynamically. But – even the best football/oztag boots by omissions in their design will over time, inhibit the foot’s natural movement.
This inhibition goes on to cause muscles to shrink, natural gait to change, and other parts of the body to unnaturally accommodate the force on your feet.
2620’s inside your oztag boots encourage the foot’s natural movement – that is, the amazing feat of engineering our bodies were born with – and help prevent common oztag injuries by strengthening the feet.
Strong feet possess more power to propel you to meet the ball, endurance to carry you throughout the game, and greater accuracy of placement to ensure you’re on target.
Why wear insoles for oztag if I don't have foot problems?
-
Oztage boots inhibit the foot's ability to move naturally. This can lead to the muscles in your feet atrophying. This is what causes pain and numbness - so keeping your feet healthy and strong is an excellent way to prevent the pain from ever appearing in the first place.
-
Because they exercise your foot muscles, using 2620s as your oztag orthotic insoles will over time, enhance your performance. By making your feet stronger, you’ll be able to expel more force through them, leading you to be more stable and move faster.
-
Your feet are more important than you think, and if they’re too weak, the rest of the body will have to compensate. This can lead to issues with your back, knees, ankles and more. The health of your feet has an impact on your overall health.
-
G8 Performance 2620 insoles have been designed to increase blood flow, and so support the healthy supply of blood to your feet. Healthy blood circulation is essential for general health and in the case of our feet can prevent conditions such as "hot foot".
-
G8 2620 insoles increase foot proprioception. Increasing the feeling in your foot is a great way to improve your balance and agility - and prevent falls or injuries caused by numbness of toes and feet.
Stronger feet mean:
1. Increased force transfer, which means greater forward momentum and less pressure on lower limbs.
2. Better biomechanics and a positive effect on ankles, knees, hips and back.
3. Better balance and brain-foot connection (proprioception), meaning your feet respond quickly and more accurately to your brain’s placement signals.
Oztag performance and injury prevention are implicitly tied to foot health and strength
G8 Performance 2620 insoles are specially designed to strengthen your feet by mimicking the dynamic function of bare feet even whilst you are wearing any shoes - regular shoes, and oztag boots.
Unlike other insole products on the market, 2620’s aren’t a ‘quick fix’.
Instead, they are designed to increase foot strength and health in the long term. And because 2620’s are fully customizable, they can be quickly and easily adjusted as your feet strengthen.
Many 2620 users report increased performance and endurance over time.
2620’s actively exercise and strengthen the forefoot by assisting flex at the forefoot for maximum energy disbursement on impact. This allows the foo to efficiently expel energy.
Other full-foot benefits include:
- Supporting the foot throughout the entire gait cycle
- Enhancing stretch and strength within the foot
- Maintaining bone structure
- Facilitating a more natural way of moving.
As more and more oztag players adopt the 2620s, we continue to hear how players at all levels are experiencing what we now know as improvements in biomechanical symmetry.
In addition, players are experiencing improved power output as the feet continue to become stronger and more efficient.
