I was given this product for free to try and review, and this is actually my first time testing running insoles, so I came into it with curiosity but not a lot of experience. For context, I use a pair of New Balance 1080v14 mostly for walking, daily errands, gym sessions, and occasional easy runs. The shoes themselves still look and feel great structurally, but the original insoles have completely lost their cushioning, which made being on my feet for long periods uncomfortable. That’s where the Superfeet insoles came in as a replacement option.
Choosing the right model and sizing was fairly simple. Superfeet has different versions based on arch type: low, medium, and high. Since my feet are slightly different — one with a low arch and the other closer to medium-high — I went with the medium version as a safe, middle-ground choice. I personally don’t like overly aggressive arch support because it can feel sharp and uncomfortable, especially while running. Size-wise, they use letter sizing paired with a reference chart based on shoe size. I’m between women’s 10 and 10.5, so I sized up to the “E” instead of “D” and that worked well. If you’re in between sizes, I’d recommend going up.
The installation process was also pretty straightforward. You just remove your original insoles, place them on top of the new Superfeet ones, trace the shape, and cut along the outline so they fit properly inside your shoes. There are clear step-by-step instructions on the packaging, and it only took a few minutes.
In terms of comfort and performance, I noticed an improvement in cushioning right away, especially underfoot pressure points. However, I did need a break-in period. During the first week, the insoles felt a bit firm and not something I could wear for long durations, but after a few uses they molded better and started to feel more natural inside the shoe. Now, they give me enough support and comfort to extend the life of my shoes without having to buy a new pair immediately.
One improvement I’d love to see from the brand is offering single insoles rather than only selling them in pairs. For people like me who have different arch needs on each foot, this could be both cost-effective and better customized.
So far, I’ve only tested Superfeet during walking and light running, but as someone with slight overpronation on one foot, I can feel the added support and stability in daily use. Overall, they seem like a solid option for anyone looking to refresh their shoes without replacing the whole pair.
