NURVV Run is a new type of wearable tech that comes in the form of insoles and trackers which sit inside your running trainers. They track and provide feedback on stats such as cadence, step length and pronation (as well as distance, time and elevation) to help you improve your running times and reduce the risk of injury. With many of us taking up running over lockdown, they're just the thing if you're looking to improve your speed and performance after turning a new hobby into a passion. NURVV insoles usually cost $300.
The Nurvv Run inserts come in two pieces. There are the insoles that go in each shoe, with a mount that runs out of the shoe, as well as two trackers—oblong-shaped hardware housing the smarts (and the battery) that clip into said mounts. Getting the trackers off the charger and snapping them to the mounts is a learning experience. They sit securely, which means you have to grip them properly when removing them from the charger or mounts. Do it wrong and the force required might snap the cable. Nurrv says its replaceable insoles will last through three pairs of running shoes, or about a thousand miles if you’re a tightwad like me. I didn’t see any degradation in my months of testing. They're IP65 water-resistant too, so you can wear them in the rain and through puddles (just avoid waterlogged shoes). The battery lasts around five hours, which makes them suitable even for ultra runners, though they'll need to be charged more often.
