currexSole Partners With Pro Triathlete Nils Frommhold
Europe’s leading insole maker for athletic shoes will support Frommhold
with both cycling (BIKEPRO) and running (RUNPRO) insoles to ensure
optimal comfort, training and performance
Boston, MA (May 5th, 2015)—currexSole, the leading insole maker for
athletic footwear in Europe that is rapidly growing in the US, is pleased to
announce an official partnership with Professional Triathlete and two-time
Ironman Champion, Nils Frommhold. As an athlete supported by currexSole,
Frommhold joins a team of decorated triathletes, including two-time ITU
World Champion and five time Ironman Champion, Caroline Steffein, who
have reaped the benefits of increased comfort, and therefore better
performance and injury prevention from wearing currexSoles. Frommhold
finished 6th in 2014 at the legendary Ironman World Championships in
Kona in 2014, and has been using the currexSole sports insoles for over
2 years. The rising German star looks forward to formalizing the partnership
and will continue to wear both bike-specific and run-specific currexSole
insoles which have a semi-custom fit to them.
"Partnering with currexSole is very special to me because I have enjoyed
wearing the sport-specific insoles for years," said Nils Frommhold. "I am
delighted that we are now perfecting our collaboration with an official
sponsorship. It's great fun and a privilege to work with the experts from
currexSole, who have helped me stay healthy throughout my training and
racing." Frommhold's world-class accolades were achieved despite a
month–long break due to injury in 2011. Since then, he has been wearing
currexSole and has completed nine Ironman races, finishing in the top six
each time. He is the 2014 Ironman South Africa Champion and 2012
Ironman Arizona Champion.
"We are pleased to have another champion triathlete join our team, and
Nils is an excellent fit for us both in terms of personality and his attitude
towards triathlon," says Lutz Klein, CEO and President of currexSole North
America. "On top of that, we are committed to triathlon in both the field
of running and cycling, and offer both the RUNPRO and BIKEPRO discipline
specific insoles which provide the dynamic-flexibility necessary for these
sports. We look forward to continuing to support Nils and sharing our
product and story with more triathletes.”
