FIT PROFILE: High profile/High volume insoles; Volume refers to the amount of space these comfortable Superfeet insoles will take up in your shoe, whereas, the Profile is how much shape you can expect to feel under your foot. Full-length Superfeet inserts are supposed to be trimmed to fit in your shoes.
REINFORCED STABILIZER CAP: The base of these Superfeet orthotic shoe inserts supports the rearfoot and provides structure and stability to the foam layer
DEEP HEEL CUPS: These high arch support insoles feature a deep, narrow heel cup that helps support the foot during high-impact activities and long distances
SUPERFEET SHAPE: The signature shape of the arch support shoe insert helps stabilize and support the foot, which can help reduce stress on feet, ankles and knees
HIGH-IMPACT FOAM FOREFOOT: The soft, bouncy foam at forefoot provides great shock absorption during high-impact activities like walking, running, or playing on hard, unforgiving surfaces

I’m a serious runner and I’ve had knee issues for about 9 months and no doctor could tell me what was wrong. And as it turns out, I just needed arch support. Ran the first time with them, wasn’t a Baby Jesus miracle but it was definitely a VAST improvement. My knee no longer knocked inwards, I ran and squatted with aligned legs/ knees.

An ex-football player past his prime (6'3", 360 lbs, size 13D, medium arch), I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. My orthopedist recommended daily stretching exercises and Orthoheel slippers to wear indoors (no more walking around in socks). What a difference! The slippers and exercises lessened my symptoms from the start and, over time, eliminated most of my discomfort, so I decided to find some orthotic inserts to improve my street shoes.
So far, I've tested: 1. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support 2. Aetrex Copper Medium Arch 3. Spenco Polysorb Total Support 4. Superfeet Copper DMP 5. Powerstep Pinnacle 6. Powerstep Pinnacle Pro
each for two hours' total walking time over a few days in two pairs of my favorite shoes: New Balance 606 hikers and Cole Haan loafers with Nike Air.
Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support: Advertised for big & tall men, they didn't do much for me. While the extra cushioning helped at first, it helped less and less the longer I walked on them. I mentioned this to my orthopod and he told me the key to managing PF is not cushioning, it's support. Grade: D
Spenco Polysorb Total Support: Remembering my doc's advice, I chose these for the rigid heel cup and arch support. Though quite comfortable overall, the arch support was a bit too low for my medium-high arches and the heel cup was insufficient support for weight. While they worked reasonably well for me, I believe they would a be better choice for lighter individuals with lower arches. Grade: B
Aetrex Copper Medium Arch: Promising better arch support, these felt very similar to the Spenco insoles even after walking around the block. I then swapped one of the Aetrex insoles for one of the Spenco insoles and walked around again. Only then could I tell them apart. The Spenco offered a little better support for the mid- and fore-parts of my foot, the Aetrex offered a little better support for my arch. Grade: B
Superfeet: I was in an Allen Edmonds store and noticed the Superfeet insoles. The clerk said many men my size have good success with them. I first tried the Orange insoles. While they were too high for my arches, I felt more support in the right places than I had with any other insoles I had tried. I next tried the Copper DMP insoles. These were the right fit for my arches. Superfeet are easily the most rigid of the insoles I've tried...and easily the best. The arch support sits farther back on the insole than other brands. This made a real difference in the support and comfort I felt walking long distances. I also found the medial post support in the heel did a better job than other insoles in combatting over-pronation. Grade: A [Update: I have since tried Superfeet Black in dress shoes that couldn't accommodate the Copper insole. They work well but are not as supportive as the Copper or the Orange.]
Powerstep Pinnacle: While it seems well-made and offered good support, it simply did not work for me. The gel-based arch support sits too far forward and in the middle of the insole. The insoles felt like I had lumps of clay underfoot. After a few blocks of brisk walking, my feet began to fatigue as if I were walking barefoot in sand. Again, these may work for some people but they didn't for me. Grade: C
Powerstep Pinnacle Pro: Other wearers commented that the Pinnacle Pro differs markedly from the Pinnacle, so I tried a pair. I barely made it a block before heading back home. Though more rigid than the Pinnacle and with a better heel cup, the Pinnacle Pro was too inflexible through the arch and ball of my foot. These were the only insoles I tried that truly caused me pain. Of course, it could just be the contours of my feet, and for others the Pinnacle Pro might be great. Grade: F

I usually get the green ones but these were cheaper and fortunately still fit. I wear them in my day to day walking shoes, boots, sneakers. I did like the extra cushion. Typically these insoles last me about a year before they wear out, I try to get as much mileage out of them as I can or skip years because they used to cost me only $20 and now they're about $35-$40.. These insoles are so good that I don't notice when the bottoms of the soles of my shoes wear out until I notice holes developing in my insoles and see a giant quarter sized hole in the heel of my shoe. The green/orange provides the highest arch support I can find. The arch does hit more towards your heel, I'm not sure if this is because men's arches are different, but I buy these because the women's superfeet are too narrow and the arch support doesn't seem as good. As a side note can we stop making women's products pink, purple and pastel? It's like everything is made for 6 year old girls, not grown women.
Also tried the flexmax because they were cheaper but didn't like them as well, my feet still hurt when I wore them After about 4 months gave up on them and subbed these.
This is basically a substitute since manufacturers have started to cheap out and don't provide proper arch support in their shoes, and they charge the same or more as before.
I got my first set of these orange superfeet a year ago. First it takes about a week to adjust to them, because the damage is already done to your feet. The first set held up 13 months with 10 to 15 miles of walking a day. Being heavier in weight I tend to go through inserts faster, but these held up better than other brands I have tried that only last a few weeks, or the feet never adjusted to the other brands. This is a fanastic product and It well worth the money for me.

I tried these since the Pinnacle Powerstep insoles don't last but 3 months for me. At first, the insole felt too narrow. I don't have wide feet and also didn't have to trim the insole itself, so I figured it would be a perfect fit. My foot slid around in my boot the first 2 days. I think I read some reviews about a break in period, so I still continued to wear them. The 3rd day, the balls of my feet were really sore. Again, I figured this was part of the break in woes. 4th and 5th days were more of the same, sore feet and my toes felt like they were right on the edge of the pad. My boots are lace up and I had already tried to reposition the insoles a few times, but it still felt the same every time. By the end of the 6th day, I couldn't take anymore. My feet hurt like hell and my left heel is bruised from the heel cup. I noticed slight pain in it around lunch time, and again chalked it up to the break in. I work construction and am on my feet all day. I have semi high arches and these insoles give great arch support, but sadly fail in all other areas. For the price, I will go back to the Powerstep, as it is cheaper, very comfortable from day 1, and will last me exactly 2 months and 3 weeks longer than these. I really wanted to like these, but I should've listened to the reviews.
I have tried the Carbon and the Green Superfeet but this one, the Orange, provides the best heel and forefoot padding. While I use the Green in a pair of hiking and approach shoes, the Carbon ones in a pair of pumps these are the best for my work boots and hiking boots. Having recently developed and aggravated case of plantar fasciitis and suffered heel pain in my left foot I needed to find better support for my foot.
While my normal shoes and hiking boots are perfect, it is almost impossible to find a pair of safety boots that give proper support and have a decent insole. In fact even if you go out and spend a lot of money on hiking boots or walking shoes, manufacturers still stick cheap and unsupportive insoles in them.
These Superfeet Orange are just perfect for my work boots in which I can easily spend 12 hours a day on my feet.
Comfortable and supportive they certainly help with the foot pain. These are not much thicker than the Green ones but they do offer much better heel cushioning.
Expensive? Yes, but in mitigation they are probably the best insoles I have had in my footwear in a very long time and I have tried the A to Z of them including Sof Soles, Scholl, Sorbothane etc. They also offer a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. I’m hooked and they work for me.

Absolutely gutted, I spent a fortune getting these after being made to believe they’re the best in the market for people who work long shifts on their feet. I work 12 hour shifts on my feet as an Engineer with a lot of walking and my feet were terribly bruised and in constant pain to walk for days after my shift rotation.
I had to trim them to fit properly in my work boots but as soon as walked around in them my feet were beginning to ache again, the heel is hard plastic which to me makes no sense and should be gel, the forefoot foam is so thin it makes no difference. I simply couldn’t continue so I purchased a pair of gel running insoles for £7.99 which were much much better and seem to be holding up well.
So essentially I spent £37 in total on these Superfeet and can’t even make use of them. I used them for 15min and now they’re sitting in my cupboard with no use for them.
Very disappointed with this product. I would say don’t bother purchasing this product. They were an absolute waste of money. I would actually appreciate a refund as I cannot use these and I’ve just bought them.

I wanted an insole for running that provided both excellent forefoot cushioning and firm arch support. From reading many reviews, I thought these (Orange Superfeet) would fit the bill. Unfortunately, not. The forefoot 'cushioning' was hard, to the point that I had to hold back going downhill because of the impact on my feet (nowhere near as good as my Pedag Viva Sport insoles) and the arch support was inadequate, leaving my feet aching. I have given these a good try, and it's too late to return them, so I have demoted them to my dog-walking trainers. Very disappointing for the price.

I had superfeet fitted at a outdoors shop last year. I am a 8.5 wide they gave me a size 10 cut to 8.5 but i got the width from the 10. They solved my sore feet problem as I walk 4 miles every morning. The problem was I wear slippers for the greater part of the day so I ordered size 10 orange and cut them to the same and fitted these to my slippers. These are very good insoles which support the instep. They are considerably cheaper buying on-line. You need to remove the existing insole of whatever you are fitting these to.
I buy a new pair of these each time I need new running shoes. For me, no matter how much support the running shoes have, these are essential as I have very high arches. I believe these are the best insoles you can buy.
