Superfeet Insole For Skates - Yellow

• VIEW DEMO

FOUNDATION Our XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) foam, FOUNDATION, provides durable biomechanical support. This ultra-light, closed-cell foam resists moisture and helps reduce shock while offering advanced comfort. FOUNDATION’s resilience and strength optimizes the performance of our Yellow Trim-to-Fit Premium Insoles.

Agion We treat the top covers of all our Trim-to-Fit Premium Insoles with Agion antimicrobial technology. Agion's natural, silver-based antimicrobial is built right into our products to provide long-lasting protection against bacteria. Agion adds continuous cleanliness to our Premium Insoles - creating a clean, comfortable combination.

Encapsulating Stabilizer System [ESS] Superfeet Yellow features a unique stabilizer cap for optimal underfoot support. When integrated with the shape and design of the foam full length, this combination creates a deep heel cup to cradle the heel’s fat pad for improved natural shock absorption. This system provides comfort and necessary stability for different activities, footwear and foot types.

Heel-to-Toe Profile Angled stabilizer cap provides constant contact with the outsole for ultimate control and energy transfer. The heel-to-toe profile contours the foot and improves the fit, comfort and performance of any skate or footwear with a raised heel.

Diamond Venting Venting holes through the foam full length line up with perforated outsoles to stimulate air circulation and control moisture. A strategically centered design ensures that the foam retains its integrity in the forefoot, preserving the overall full length structure.

Wide Forefoot Wide forefoot accommodates newer skate and road cycling shoe designs, offering better underfoot coverage.

The way you trim your insoles can have a great effect on how well they will work and feel. For an ideal fit, follow these simple steps:

• STEP 1
  Remove the insole that came in your shoe (Fig.1). To work properly, your Superfeet insole should lie on the bottom surface of your footwear. It should not rest on any additional insole, arch pad or heel cushion material. These items should be removed.
• STEP 2
  Place the original insole over the top of your new Superfeet insole, lining up both the heel (Fig. 2) and inside edge (Fig. 3). With a marking pen, trace the original insole pattern onto the new Superfeet insole (Fig. 4). Trim the insole by cutting along the inside edge of the tracing line (Fig. 5). Care should be taken not to trim too short. Trim it, try it. Trim it, try it.

• STEP 3
  Fit your insole into your footwear, resting it properly on the bottom. The insole needs to have minimal back-to-front movement inside the footwear (about 1/16" or 2mm) to ensure the insole moves with your foot and is not jammed heel-to-toe (Fig. 6). This is very important. Properly trimmed, your insoles will fit easily into your footwear without a struggle, and will not curl up in the toe area.

If You Have No Original Insole

If there is no original insole in your footwear to use as a template, place your footwear over your new Superfeet insole (Fig. 7), and trace an outline around the toe area (Fig. 8). Then follow the usual trimming instructions. Hint: trace and trim one insole first, then use it as a template for the second insole.

Too Tight in the Forefoot

If your footwear is too tight to accommodate the full length of your Superfeet insole, you can trim off the forefoot closer to the stabilizer cap (Fig. 9). This will have no effect on the biomechanical benefits of the insole.

What to Expect From Your New Superfeet

Your new insoles may initially feel snug, but after wearing them for a few days, the foam forefoot will compress slightly, allowing for a more relaxed fit. Our patented insoles are designed to be firm and supportive, not soft and mushy like most gel-based footbeds. You may initially feel this new support on the inside of your heel (Fig. 10) and suspect the arch is too far back. This is ok. This is the shape and design of the insole supporting your foot where it is needed. Because your previous shoes or insoles may not have supported your foot properly, the tendons and muscles of your feet may need time to adjust to their properly supported position.

Break-in period

We suggest taking a conservative break-in approach; try wearing your Superfeet for just 1-2 hours for the first day, then gradually add more time each day. If you are experiencing discomfort with your Superfeet after 5-7 days of wear, and it is not improving, remove the product from your footwear and contact the store where you purchased the product. (We recommend you retain your original insoles until you have completed your break-in period).

How long do Superfeet last? 

This depends on your foot type, body weight, type of footwear, activity and the environment in which the insole is worn - but the average Superfeet insole lasts up to 12 months or more.

Cleaning instructions for your new Superfeet insoles

Hand-wash with a mild soap and lukewarm water to remove light soil. A soft bristle brush (old toothbrush) works well to remove ground-in dirt. Rinse well. Absorb excess water with a soft towel and allow insoles to air dry overnight. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY. DO NOT AIR DRY NEAR A HEAT SOURCE!

60 Day Comfort Guarantee:

You have nothing to lose but your sore feet. If you are not satisfied with your new insoles, return them within 60 days to your place of purchase for a credit or refund. This guarantee is only valid with a proof of purchase, and is not good for misused, abused or improperly cleaned Superfeet product. THIS GUARANTEE IS SUBJECT TO THE RETAILER'S RETURN POLICY.

Waterproof Liner Disclaimer

Most orthotics will conform to the heel in your footwear, and over time can wear through the lining. Superfeet offers no guarantee against this resulting side effect in footwear with waterproof liners such as Gore-tex®.

How to Choose Your Superfeet

Everyone's feet are unique, and different activities demand different types of footwear. That's why Superfeet designs a varitey of insoles for any foot type or for any sport or activity. Here are some tips to help you choose the right Superfeet products for you:

What type of footwear are you wearing?

Most types of athletic footwear come with some kind of removable insole. Unfortunately, most "sockliners" are made of very thin foam with no added support. The soft cushion effect dissipates quickly within the first few days, and the lack of support provides little, if any, biomechanical help. Removal of this insole provides ample room to complement your new footwear with supportive Superfeet insoles.

Many types of casual and formal dress shoes have no removable insole and provide very little room for the addition of an after-market insole. Our low-volume insoles, BLUE and BLACK, are ideal for this type of footwear. They can be trimmed full length or trimmed back to a ¾ length (See Fig 9). If your footwear is still too tight, we recommend you try one of our EASY-FIT™ products.

What type of activity are you doing?

Most activities will feel more comfortable with the right Superfeet insole in your shoes. If you are a runner or walker, try one of our models designed to provide extra shock absorption, such as our GREEN, BERRY (for women), or ORANGE (for men). If you are looking for support in a stop-and-start sport like soccer, then our BLUE or BLACK models are ideal for tight-fitting cleated footwear. If you skate, cycle or wear cowboy boots, our YELLOW model was designed specifically for you.

No matter what type of foot you have, what type of footwear you are wearing, or what activity you are doing, Superfeet has the ideal insole for every situation.

How to Size Your Superfeet

Every shoe manufacturer has their own sizing, which can be very confusing. One brand's size 8 is not necessarily another brand's size 8. Many people wear shoes that are too small or too big because they don't know what size they truly are. To help avoid this confusion and preoccupation with size, Superfeet identifies each of our product sizes with letters. Each letter represents approximate sizing based on the footwear industry's manufacturing scale. We provide our authorized Superfeet dealers with demo insoles in various letter sizes to help you determine the correct size of Superfeet insole for you. Here is a quick way to size your Superfeet.

• Step 1
  Check the Superfeet sizing chart, and select the letter you feel is the closest to your shoe size.
  
  

  

• Step 2
  If the insole you selected is too short (Fig. A), go up one size (Fig. B).
• Step 3
  Check the heel width. If the insole is too narrow (Fig. C), go up one size (Fig. D).
• Step 4
  Follow the Quick Start Trim and Fit instructions from the beginning of this guide.
