Superfeet

[bike4ever]

I have custom blacks in my Sidi's. I use custom green in my everyday shoes. I actually need a new pair for my new Brooks shoes. Two of my boys use the blues in both their regular shoes and their athletic footwear. Both will get terrible heal pain without this support.

I've used (a number of pairs of) the green ones in my hiking boots for about 15 years.

on knott's advice I tried a pair. they are really great. I actually have 2 of them so I can stop switching them out of my shoes so much. She also said to wear them a little bit each day so that I don't aggravate my muscles. actually I tried to bike with them after the first day and my arch inflames. listen to knott!

ps I've only got the Berry's but since they work for me I didn't see the point in anything else.

pps I've tried other insoles even the custom ones from REI and they did not work well.

So are the different colours for different problems? How d you know which ones to wear?

The website has a good explanation of which color for different types of shoes. It has to do with the type of shoes and the amount of shoe volume available. I have green ones in my hiking boots and in my safety-toe workboots, blue in my running shoes, and gray ones in my road shoes. I still need a pair for my mountain shoes (blue, I think).

Superfeet are the best

I have a pair of green ones for my Brooks running shoes. A pair of black ones (stiffer) for my bike shoes. I have berry ones but a PT a while back didn't think they were right for my feet -however I can't recall the specifics she gave-something about where the mt bump was for my foot. I really like my superfeet. I do have to remember to replace them more often. (A podiatrist just recommended permanent orthotics for me but my insurance will only cover if for diabetes -$600-800!). He said I could bring my superfeet in and he could make them more custom-like as an option (I guess I could also buy the softer orthotics). Another insert the podiatrist rec'd is Sole.

Course it's important to walk and break in your superfeet before running in them if they're for running. Break in hasn't mattered as much for the bike shoes for me.
good luck!

I took a look at their website but I still can't figure out which ones are for over pronating and which ones are for underpronating. The colour choices tell you more about the kind fo shoes you wear them with than the specific foot problem you are trying to correct. Or am I missing something here? Thanks!
