superfeet?

“Anyone had issues with their superfeet rubbing the inside of their arch?

I went to the companies website and noticed that they talked about a 'breaking in' period...then I happened upon a thread on whiteblaze that spoke about people having issues with the green superfeet insoles bothering the inside of their arches.

I was just wondering if anyone had this problem as I am trying to decide if I should continue with the "breaking in" period (and thereby continue to make my feet angry) or if I should scrap the blimey things and go back to the factory insoles.

...i never really got a blister from the insoles...it was more like a red rubbed spot that took a day or so to go away after i took my boots off....

“'stu - I had that problem once - I just took out the superfeet, used my hand to squeeze the arch of the insole down a little, put them back in and no more problems”

“sing HOI's method, I re-formed my feet to conform to the superfeet. Once a conformist...”

“keep wearing them, if you want to wear them in other shoes too.”

“I just got a new pair of superfeet too, and they feel a little different than what they did on the AT last year. Personally, I think it will take continued use, such as daily wearing or extended hiking, to have your feet conform to them like it states in their User's Guide.”

“I used SuperFeet for years.

Maybe you do not have "average" feet and need to get custom SuperFeet made?”

“I had that problem with them in my Basketball Shoes. When I got done playing I could barely walk, so I replaced them with other insoles, and problem solved. I still use Superfeet in my backpacking boots though. I probably have 4 or 5 hundred miles on the pair I am using now.”

“Nope, I haven't had that problem. I have really flat feet and bought a new pair last summer. I didn't notice a break-in period.”

“My boots have a contour footbed. The Superfeet insole had a rigid flat base. They were too much of a miss-match to even consider. I sent them back.”
