Insoles: Superfeet, CURREX, and SOLE

Why use insoles?

Insoles can enhance the feel and function of your foot within a properly fit shoe. The foot functions in 3 axes of motion. Since shoes are 2 dimensional, the use of insoles can help to improve the comfort and fit of a shoe by providing a third dimension to your shoe. We carry three brands of insoles: Superfeet, CURREX, and SOLE.

Superfeet

Superfeet was founded by two doctors in 1977 after they branched off from Northwest Podiatric Laboratory. The premium insoles that Superfeet produces are based on proven podiatric medicine and the founder’s years of knowledge and experience of working on feet.

The feet are the foundation of the entire skeletal system. Misalignment in the feet can cause the arch to collapse, which can cause pain in the feet, ankles, shins, knees, hips, and even up into the back, shoulders, and neck.

Superfeet insoles provide a firm, supportive foundation to hold the body’s infrastructure in place. Every Superfeet insole provides a structured heel cup to maximize natural cushion of the heel, rearfoot support to support the arch and stride, and a reinforcing foundation for durability. Through proper alignment of the foot, Superfeet can help alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs, shin splints, and knee pain. They can also help to reduce “hot spots” that turn into blisters by reducing areas of friction.

Which Superfeet is right for me?

Ask a Fleet Feet Outfitter for help in selecting the proper insole for your foot. Selecting the proper insole depends on your arch height, gait, needs, and preferences. There are three families of Superfeet product: Dynamic, Support, Heritage.

Run Dynamic - All Run Dynamic models feature a decoupled heel and arch for greater flexibility while still providing a structured heel cup

Run Dynamic Low Arch

Run Dynamic Medium Arch

Run Dynamic High Arch

Run Support

Run Support Carbon - Carbon fiber and polymer blend to make a thin, supportive, and responsive insole. Great for tight fitting, minimal footwear like cleats.

CURREX

CURREX is a truly dynamic insole designed to move with your foot during activity. We carry both CURREX's RUNPRO for low, medium, and high arch types and their METPAD for low and medium arches. The RUNPRO is a great choice for running, walking, or standing and features EVA foam underfoot and a flexible arch to support your arch and move with you in your activites. The METPAD combines a dynamic arch with a metatarsal pad to take pressure off the ball of the foot, which is a great option for anyone dealing with neuromas or ball of foot pain.

SOLE

The orthopedic base layer of SOLE molds to your foot by wearing or heating it, providing customized support. The moldable feature of SOLE allows for a continuous contact point across the entire length and width of the foot. There are many benefits of continuous contact, including support of the medial longitudinal arch, equalized pressure distribution in the forefoot (ball of foot and toes), and decreased strain on the soft tissues of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Through research done at the Running Injury Clinic in Alberta, Canada, accommodative Sole footbeds have been proven to reduce strain on the plantar fascia by 34%.

SOLE footbeds not only reduce strain on soft tissues, but they also help with shock absorption and help to better align the foot for energy transfer which results in greater power and endurance of the foot and leg muscles.

SOLE insoles can be used for relief of pain from plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and in cases of under pronation where increased shock absorption is necessary.

SOLE footbeds are durable, odor-resistant, and have a moisture wicking top sheet to help the product last. The average life of a SOLE is 1 year, or typically, 2 pairs of shoes. There is a 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

We carry SOLE's Active Medium insole which fits most sneakers.
