BLOG: How Superfeet can make your runs 'Super!'

How many times have you reached the end of the day and thought, “Man, my feet are killing me!” You’re not alone. 75% of adults in the US experience foot pain and discomfort. Here are some fun facts about foot pain:

• The average adult takes 4,000 to 6,000 steps a day.
• The average person walks about 100,000 miles in a lifetime.
• Plantar fasciitis affects about 10% of the US population.
• 25% of all the bones in the human body are down in your feet. When these bones are out of alignment, so is the rest of your body.
• Over 2 million Americans seek treatment for plantar fasciitis (heel pain) each year.

Superfeet insoles are made to reduce stress put on your body from running, walking, or standing. It also helps personalize the fit of the shoe by filling up extra space and making the shoe fit better overall. 

While products like custom orthotics can be helpful, they can also be very costly as well as very stiff, making for an uncomfortable feel in the shoe. 

Superfeet offers different lines of insoles: Run Comfort: Heritage, Dynamic, Adapt, and ME3D.

Run Comfort: Superfeet RUN Comfort insoles help runners reduce foot fatigue while gaining efficiency. Responsive EVOLyte® carbon fiber cap and two layers of AeroSpring Rebound foam combine to deliver exceptional comfort and smooth and efficient energy transfer through your gait from foot strike to toe off. 

Heritage: The Heritage products are composed primarily of Polyester fabric top cover, Polyethylene foam, Polypropylene plastic cap and an EVA based adhesive. Slightly more rigid than the RUN comfort collection, this line works well for everyday comfort.

Dynamic: The Dynamic Run insole from Superfeet is made to help your feet move the way they’re designed to. With lightly structured support and cushioning, Dynamic Run flexes and adapts to your foot as you move.

An energizing heel cushion disperses impact and reduces excess vibration to fight fatigue, and Superfeet’s Moisturewick™ technology keeps your ‘dogs’ fresh when you sweat.

Dynamic Run is Superfeet’s lightest support, but it doesn’t skimp on durability. The insole keeps its shape and stays comfortable for up to 12 months or 500 miles of use.

ME3D: ME3D is Superfeet’s custom insole product. Customers stand on a pressure plate at a local Fleet Feet Store and the data is then sent off for the insoles to be custom made just for you. ME3D’s are a great option for people who have discrepancies in their feet including different arch heights & varying levels of pronation, and also for the average person looking for personalized comfort in their everyday running and walking shoes.
