Insoles

Post by TwistedTorque »

Most players would agree that insoles are a good addition to your freestyle equipment, but most do not agree on the type of insole that is the best. I'm a big fan of SuperFeet, but I don't think they focus support on the ball of the foot enough to be the best for our sport. Please post Insoles that you support (ha ha) with links to pictures and more info. Thanks!!

I just recently got these...I shredded for an hour and a half and my leg didn't ache like it normally does after about 30 minutes or less. IT'S GREAT!!! Notice it says it's for "high impact activities"....high impact IS footbag.

When I played in any shoe but the ClimaCools I play in now I used the above insoles. They kick ass. 'Nuf said.

I found that these stayed in place if I placed them under my other insoles. End of shin splints for me, never came back when I stopped using them.

Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer Insoles

Do these help with arch problems? I spoke with a rep and he claimed they did not, but I was hoping you guys could clue me in as to what they did for you-because a lot of you guys use them [as referred to above ;-)]

Please help save my feet! :wink:

i use 2 oz. miracles, they work really well and they have this sort of cushioning that forms to your feet.

I've never used insoles before, just cause I never thought to. Right now I haven't played footbag for two months because of knee problems. I am wondering if a lack of insole could be contributing to the problem. Where can I find some good insoles.

Yes, I would say that is contributing a lot to your knee problems. You can pick up insoles at a pharmacy, and most sports stores carry insoles as well.

Me personally, I have two insoles in my Lavers. Dr. Scholls Athletic insoles and the factory made ones. It's a bit tighter fit for my foot, but I think it's a necessary procedure to be able to play the way I have been.

Does anybody else do this as well?

I agree with Ted. The metatarsal insoles are great, just slide em in under your other insoles, and you're set. Good players mostly play on the balls of the feet, so it makes sense to get insoles that focus on that spot. Look at a pair of lavers after a couple years. The heel is fine, its the toes that get worn down.
