CURREX® Attends MLP Columbus as the Official Pickleball Insoles

For athletes pushing their limits in the fast-paced world of Major League Pickleball (MLP), the right support can be the difference between a foot fault and a championship title. At the recent MLP Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, CURREX, the official shoe insole of Major League Pickleball, showcased just how crucial that support can be.

From Thursday, May 1 through Sunday, May 4, MLP’s second regular season event was hosted at Pickle & Chill, the largest indoor/outdoor pickleball facility in the Midwest. These four days of fast, intense play involved nine premier coed pickleball teams competing and earning points towards a spot in the MLP Playoffs this August.

CURREX’s sponsored athlete Gabriel Tardio of the St. Louis Shock dominated the championship court throughout the course of the tournament. Despite the tight scores of a few games, their unmatched speed and fierce focus propelled the team to victory at the end of every match.

Along with a winning mindset and support from his teammates, Tardio relies on the comfort and support of CURREX PICKLEBALLPRO™ insoles to keep him quick on his feet.

“Ever since I started using CURREX insoles, I love the product,” Tardio told the CURREX crew. “They’re great on my first step and more comfortable on my feet.”

Pickleball is a dynamic sport based in agility and skillful coordination. A secure foundation from your feet up is crucial for quick, consistent, and responsive play. One of Tardio’s biggest issues on the court was his feet sliding in his shoes. The athlete explained how CURREX’s unique SuperGrip technology locks his feet in place, creating a rock-solid platform for agile movement and speed.

“Sometimes, I feel like my first step is not the fastest, but CURREX has definitely helped me a lot,” he said. “The sliding was the biggest problem for me. With the SuperGrip, now it’s much better."

CURREX PICKLEBALLPRO insoles are the only sports-specific pickleball shoe insoles engineered to keep up with the intensity of the game, featuring:

• Dynamic Arch Support enhances comfort & helps reduce fatigue.
• Decoupled Heel Cup delivers a perfect fit for increased stability.
• Targeted Forefoot Cushioning boosts energy return for responsive rebound.
• Non-Slip SuperGrip secures lateral motion for powerful, precise moves.
• Ventilated Top Cover keeps feet cool and dry for longer matches.

Available in three arch profiles for a highly customized fit, CURREX insoles for pickleball are trusted by players at every level for increased comfort, control, and agility.

At the event, CURREX provided free insole fittings for all attendees. With a free arch analysis, these fittings help pickleball fans and athletes discover their perfect fit.
