Superfeet

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Superfeet different from other insole brands?

  Superfeet began at the Northwest Podiatric Laboratory in 1977 and is built on podiatric biomechanics, with a signature Superfeet shape that includes a deep heel cup and rear-positioned arch to promote natural alignment. Their designs combine medical-grade orthotic geometry with activity-specific cushioning and reinforced foundations, making them trusted by medical professionals and athletes alike. This blend of heritage, shape-driven support, and durable construction sets them apart from standard flat insoles.
• How do I choose between Cushion and Support models and the activity-based names?

  Superfeet model names start with the intended activity (Run, Hike, All-Purpose, Casual, Hockey) and end with the feel—Cushion for flexible, softer cushioning and Support for firmer, more structured stability. Pick the activity that matches your primary use and then choose Cushion vs Support based on whether you want a more forgiving ride (Cushion) or a more stable, corrective base (Support); also match the insole’s low/medium/high arch option to your foot. Models like Run Support Medium Arch and Hike Cushion illustrate that combination of activity, feel, and arch height.
• What key materials and technologies do Superfeet use in their insoles?

  Many Superfeet Cushion lines use Aerospring™ viscoelastic comfort foam for long-lasting heel-to-toe shock absorption, while higher-support models rely on reinforced foundations such as rigid plastic cores or EVOLyte carbon fiber for torsional strength. Additional features across models include deep structured heel cups, contoured arches, ventilated forefoots, and variable moisture-wicking topcovers to balance durability, support, and comfort.
• How do Superfeet insoles improve comfort and reduce fatigue during activities?

  Superfeet’s contoured geometry disperses impact through a deep heel cup and rearward arch support, which helps stabilize the foot and promote more natural foot motion under load. That combination of cushioning (in Cushion lines) and structural support (in Support lines) is designed to reduce localized strain and perceived fatigue on hard or repetitive surfaces.
• Are the legacy color models (like GREEN or Blue) different from the newer named models?

  The legacy colors—Green for durable support and Blue for an all‑purpose medium arch—are being replaced by descriptive names but retain the same underlying designs and biomechanical shape. New names like All-Purpose Cushion, Run Support, or Casual Pain Relief simply clarify intended activity, feel, and arch height while keeping the signature Superfeet construction intact.
