Superfeet Green Review: An Insole With Your Comfort in Mind

Wherever you find Superfeet, the chances are good you will also find selections from Spenco, a North Carolina company. Like Superfeet, Spenco provides a full line of foot care products that include insoles and orthotics.

Spenco insoles aim to provide support across several on-your-feet activities — walking, running, cross-training, hiking, other sports, and even just for prolonged standing.

The Spenco Total Support Max brand is similar to Superfeet Green in that both address people with higher arches. Spenco takes a different approach, however. Spenco inserts include “pods” of varying degrees of hardness. These are placed at crucial areas of the foot to ease the amount of force on your feet.

Both Spenco and Superfeet seek to steer the foot in a way that reduces or eliminates “over-pronation,” which most foot experts believe can causes foot or leg problems.

The Max line is by design stiffer than other insoles made by Spenco. It targets the more serious athlete who is putting numerous miles on their legs during the week.

Customers indicate in their reviews that the Spenco inserts have successfully helped curb foot pain and correct over-pronation and even provide a solution to flat feet.

We should point out in our Superfeet Green review that insoles are not just for men. Power Step, an Ohio-based company that is also employee-owned, offers insoles geared toward the specific needs of women.

PowerStep’s Original Insoles deliver moderate cushioning while at the same time building in the right amount of support for every part of your gait.

The original insoles are multi-purpose. You can use them in your athletic shoes, but also more casual or even dressier shoes. Sometimes the most significant impact on our feet happens during the day at work.

You might find these insoles to be thinner than the Superfeet Green. But keep focused on feel. As long as they provide the support you need, don’t let the width, or relative lack of it, impact your viewpoint.

Customers from a variety of professions leave enthusiastic reviews. They are loved by Army soldiers and nurses — people who are on their feet all the time. As with Superfeet, customers advise that the PowerStep line needs a breaking-in period.

Our final insert alternative is the best-seller in its category on Amazon. You might find them to be a little more affordable than either the Superfeet or Spenco brands.

Walk-Hero inserts are similar to Superfeet Green in that they also come with a deep heel cup to assist with foot positioning on every step. The more in-line you are, the less chance you have for conditions such as plantar fasciitis or tendonitis.

Walk-Hero inserts also are useful in multiple applications — walking, running, hiking, working, even biking, and beyond. You can use them in both casual, work, and athletic footwear.

Customers note that these inserts may look and feel more substantial than either the Spenco or Superfeet, but that’s part of the attraction. With thickness comes reinforced support that you’ll appreciate on your feet.
