From Finish Lines to Front Lines, AXA Super Insoles Bring "Super Shoe" Tech to Real-World Demands: All-New Comfort & Relief Designed for Busy Feet

BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS^® Composites, the advanced materials and technology company behind breakthrough carbon fiber innovations, recently announced the expanded availability of its AURORRA By ARRIS™ AXA Super Insoles at select Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) locations. This milestone comes as ARRIS continues its broader introduction through national sporting goods retailers following its first public reveal at the 2024 New York City Marathon.

"Partnering with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and leading sporting goods retailers is a natural fit for us," said Riley Reese, CEO and Co-Founder of ARRIS. "We designed AXA Super Insoles for their customers — from service members to outdoor enthusiasts. This allows us to bring our product directly to the people who will benefit from it most."

In 2024, ARRIS was selected for a U.S. Army research study through the University of Massachusetts at Lowell (UML) HEROES program on carbon fiber plates for boots, aimed at improving soldier performance and reducing injury risk. While service members have been organically adopting AXA Super Insoles, availability through the Army & Air Force Exchange Service now expands their access to this advanced footwear technology (SBG Media).

Race-day technology, reimagined for everyday life. Inspired by the "super shoes" built to maximize propulsion through a stiff carbon plate, thick springy foam, and a pronounced rocker shape, AXA Super Insoles adapt the same core technology — especially the energy return and force efficiency — for the shoes you already wear. Breaking away from race-day–only designs, they are the first of their kind to channel "super shoe" propulsion into a versatile, everyday format.

That engineering delivers reduced fatigue, explosive energy return, rock-solid stability and alignment, and comfort that lasts with every step. As adoption has grown, so have the use cases—runners seeking a less aggressive training option, people managing plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, or big toe pain, and professionals across industries logging long hours on their feet.

"ARRIS has the proven expertise — and the manufacturing agility — to make premium technologies and materials accessible to more people, raising the bar for what's possible in everyday footwear and redefining the future of insoles," said Elizabeth Griffin, Vice President of Marketing & Communications and AURORRA™ business unit leader. "The ARRIS team is extending technology proven at the highest levels of competition to meet the demands of everyday life — because life itself is its own kind of marathon."

Earlier this year, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) recognized AXA Super Insoles for promoting better foot health and mobility. By striking a precision balance of flex and firmness — something the ARRIS team couldn't find in existing insoles — they deliver enhanced support and stability while helping to reduce fatigue and aid injury prevention.

ARRIS ranked as one of Fast Company's "10 Most Innovative Manufacturers" and has earned the BIG Innovation Award four years straight from the Business Intelligence Group — the most recent award announced in 2024 recognizes ARRIS MTO Spokes (Made To Outperform^®), an ultralight carbon fiber spoke recently debuted with a major bicycle brand at the 2025 Tour de France.
