- FEEL BETTER, PERFORM BETTER: Flexible support and shock absorbing cushioning from heel to toe help reduce fatigue, prevent common running injuries such as shin splints, and boost performance everywhere you run, from the trails to the track; the insoles also fold at the flex point, enabling maximum flexibility with movement
- 3D Dynamic Arch Technology & Multiprofile Arch Support: Our dynamic arch support insoles come in low, medium and high arch support profiles; they feature a deep decoupled heel cup that fits, wraps and locks the heel in place, improving stability, reducing pressure, and providing a perfect fit
- Engineered to Energize Your Running: Rebound cushioning and controlled power transmission provide faster regeneration and powerful propulsion with every stride; plus, a zero heel drop provides a great fit in most running shoes with optimized motion for all running foot strikes (insoles can also be trimmed to fit for the perfect fit)
- Moisture Management & Breathability: Top layer mesh and PORON premium foam design help dehumidify the inside of shoe, keeping the feet dry and running shoes fresh throughout exercise; note you should replace your CURREX insoles after 500+ miles or 12 months, whichever comes first
- Made for What Moves You: CURREX is the only insole company that offers a full line of activity-specific insoles customized to help improve how you move; whatever you or your family loves to do, from the workday through the weekend, CURREX makes moving more comfortable, leading to better performance and more fun

Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM, FACFAS
Michigan’s Most-Watched Foot Doctor — and the one patients call when others say “nothing can be done.”
Why Dr. Tom Left the Hospital System
Dr. Biernacki graduated valedictorian — twice. First from the University of Memphis with a 4.0 GPA in Biochemistry (ranked #1 in his class), then again from Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine with another 4.0 GPA, ranked #1 of 135 students. He then completed a 3-year surgical residency at St. Mary Mercy Hospital and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in the Detroit metro area, followed by two fellowship programs: one with Dr. Thomas Zgonis at the University of Texas San Antonio (Diabetic Reconstruction & Orthoplastic) and a second with Dr. Edguardo Rodriguez at St. Joseph Presence Hospital Chicago (Orthoplastic & Microsurgery).
He is triple board-certified (ABPM, ABFAS Foot, ABFAS Ankle) and holds an active fellowship with the American Microsurgical and Orthoplastic Society (AMOS). Despite the credentials that would have made him a permanent fixture in any large health system, he left in 2020 to build Balance Foot & Ankle from the ground up — because patients deserved more than rushed 10-minute visits.
Dr. Biernacki is also America’s most-watched podiatrist online. His YouTube channel has 950,000+ subscribers and 156 million+ views — because he believes patients deserve real education, not just appointments. He has published 8,672+ foot health articles and holds surgical privileges at Trinity Health Michigan, Corewell Health (Beaumont system), and Henry Ford Health — Michigan’s three largest health systems.
