Footbeds are like mattresses. A good mattress is made of firm, supportive materials. A bad mattress is soft and unsupportive. Same thing with footbeds. When you stand on a Superfeet™ footbed, you can feel the firmly supportive shape and materials. It's not soft and cushy like the other brands or like the footbeds that come with most skates... because although soft, cushy non-supportive footbeds feel good when you first put them in your skates, in the long run they simply lead to more aches and pains.
With Superfeet™ footbeds in your skates, your feet are being consistently balanced and supported, improving the fit of your skates. Instead of your feet collapsing inward and stressing the surrounding muscles, joints and ligaments leading to a pain and poor skating techniques. The more precise fit you have, the more precision of a skater you will be. Your skates will be more responsive.
A few details that make Superfeet™ special:
- Rear-Foot Control Point
Only Superfeet™ provides this feature to control over-pronation, thus helping keep your foot correctly aligned in the skate. Result: skate fits better and less stress on muscles and joints. - Mid-Foot Control Point
Another Superfeet™ original. This area stabilizes the mid-foot. Combined with Rear-Foot Control Point, this enables you to use your skeletal strength to your advantage. Result: a very stable foot, creating less muscle fatigue and more endurance.
- Patented Support Bridge
This feature activates all the control points for better balance and alignment during the stride. An essential feature exclusive to Superfeet.™. - Long-Wearing TrocellenTM Foam
We use only high-quality, durable closed-cell foam. Result: long-lasting comfort. - Natural Shock Absorption System
Only Superfeet™ uses this three-part system to naturally soften heel shock. This includes:- (a) deep heel pocket to center fat pad
- (b) slight rocker bottom to allow for some foot roll
- (c) soft flange to allow for some soft tissue expansion.
- Holofiber™ Top Cover Significantly reduces friction and heat inside the skate. Result: less moisture, blistering and bacteria.
- Patented Shape
Contours to your natural foot shape, which helps provide maximum contact with the ground. Result: a confident feeling of balance and control.
Select size according to your U.S "shoe" size and then trim the length for the perfect fit. Go up one size for wider feet.
With Superfeet™ in your skates, your skates will fit better,allowing you to skate your best. It's that simple.

Comments:Best footbed for help in correcting pronation. Recommended to me by a hockey dad/orthopedic specialist. My son is plays AAA ice and inline and he's on his 7th pair...As his foot grows we keep buying them. Remember to use shoe size, not skate size...even then, they run about 1/2 size small.

Comments: I received a set of Superfeet grey insoles from Inline Warehouse. I had baked my Bauer One95's and liked the fit but didn't realize just how good they would fit with these insoles in them. I have very flat feet and have had trouble with Bauer skates in the past due to their high arch support. With the Superfeet grey insoles, all of my arch troubles are completely resolved. I highly recommend these insoles if you are trying to make an otherwise over-supported arch work for flat feet. I never thought an insole could make that much of a difference, but these babies live up to their price tag.

Comments:I have been using Superfeet for years at the suggestion of my chiroptractor. They have helped very much with my back,leg and foot pain. I would recommend them to anyone having back problems or foot problems, or just someone who spends a lot of time on their feet.

Comments:These insoles work great. My skates were fitting a little tight in the forefoot, now they fit perfectly. I stopped getting cramps in my feet. Thanks!
