I havent actually skated them yet, but i have the greens in my carbons 3s with the shock absorber and it feels fine. Might be different when i actually roll around

I don't use them and I don't know anyone who does, just found the website and I'm curious to see if they'd work well in skates.Originally Posted by Special ED
i got superfeet greens. makes your skating skiing or whatever you are doing so much more solid and comfortable
Yep^ i started using the green ones and i like them a lot.
I changed from green to yellow in my carbons. It felt like you were on your toes a little bit, but I could tell it was minor and would be able to adjust. Decided to try yellows because i wanted it to feel normal skating now. Yellows are in no way bad. They fit good with the shock absorbe and it did feel flatter. But the arch support isnt as good in them, or atleast wasnt for me. And my skates feel alot more solid with the extra padding of the green. Im sure after i get used to it i will love them. Not to mention that i am planning on modding some salomons, which is probably perfect for that huge shock absorber. it makes sense. both green and yellow are great. My foot moves more connected to the boot with these. I can tell just pushing off and skating around how much more control i have in them. Def. get them, but make sure u go to the store and put your feet in them and have someone correctly size you. You will understand when you do
Hey guys, whats the deal with the sizing on with the superfeets?
I had some greens since last year and only now come to realise that they could be too small even in the correct shoe size?
At first i notice a huge difference and improvement with the insole but last year was also pretty full of injurys for memostly back and knees and im guessing poor fitting footbed could have something to do with it.
How many sizes up do the most of you guys go? as on mine in the right shoe size the arch sits too far back not fully supporting my real foot shape.
Oh and greens without shocks or yellows with? personal prefferences? i would say i have a pretty high arch so need support and shock absorbtion and have a feeling my greens with shock in my C/free are putting my to high in the skate.
As i live in Germany i have no chance to try in the shops, as i have not found a stockist anywhere in the area!
Any tips would be great as im hopefull to be fully fit again soon and what to get this right to take the strain of my body and reduce the risk of injurys that stop my skating for way to long!
I went to REI and tried a bunch last week, decided on the Greens, will be skating them in my new blades soon. My feet are about a US 9.75 or 10, I went with the size "F", which is labeled as US11.5-13. The arch in the size "E" (US 9.5-11 I believe) was too short for me, but I do have kind of a long arch/short toes foot shape. The heelcup was also a bit too narrow in the smaller size, the "F" cups my heel nicely.
In a Carbon2/3/Free you would still want a separate shock pad, as the boot is flat without it and AFAIK none of the Superfeet have a heel/arch shock pad (the Oranges that I saw are labeled as having more padding but are just thicker all over). A Razors SL pad would probably work well, you'd just need to trim the little square off the bottom that locks into the SL baseplate. I probably wouldn't go any thicker than the Sl pads though, or else I think it would lift you out of the heel/ankle pocket in the boot padding. A Psirus pad or a Solo/Fusion pad would probably work too.
yeah i need to use a different shock absorber, the stock one is too high. i think i'll try my SWS gel ones, or maybe i'll shave down the stock ones.
It's best to go size them at a store or something, the different letters have slightly different shapes. I have D, and then they're cut to fit.

Got a pair of dk response love em after heat molding em.
you have the same arch i had. Size F was mine as well and i am a size 9. The arch support on the yellows, even with a size F, wasnt enough for me.
anyone try superfeet black? i want some for my salomons, superfeet green were too high of a heel so i'm hoping the blue or black will be low enough
Which Superfeetz to choose for a Carbon 2 (and hopefully a Carbon 3, soon...) for someone that doesn't want any additional heel lift but full arch support? I was told to choose the Yellowz? Any opinions?
It really just depends on your foot shape. I tried both yellow and green and the greens feel better to me. You get used to the heel lift before you know it. The yellow def. give your foot a flatter feel, but the arch support for me was not as good as the greens. IMO, the arch support is more importiant than the minor heel lift. But it all depends on your arch. Go instore and try both out, and have someone size you
Yeah, makes sense... I think the same about arch etc. Arch support is the main reason for me looking into those things. But I can't compromise on the heel lift in a skate that has such a low cut cuff...
Maybe get the Greenz with more arch support and remove the plastic for flatter heelz...?
I would not remove the plastic as that is your support and give the insole shape so its doesnt just flop ect....Yeah, makes sense...

Im currently playing with remz shock and greens and is better from the heel high than with the stock shocks!
i'm in the same boat, wanna put superfeet in my salomons without heel rise. should be getting a pair of black's in a few days, they are the slimmest of them all i think, almost no heel lift, no heel shock. and you can't remove the plastic part of the insole, it's integral to the design and wouldn't hold it's form.Yeah, makes sense...

ok, i think the green ones are too thick for carbons. after i put the green ones back in my ski boots and the stock ones back in the carbons, the stock ones put my heel in the heel cup in the back whereas the superfeet greens didn't, they might need thinner ones like black. thats with the stock shock absorber, i tried SWS gel ones and it felt too low, like i was going to fall backwards.
got the superfeet black in the mail today. size F trimmed a bit to fit in a 11.5 salomon boot, feels amazing so far, need to break them in to get the real feel. the heel of the insole is a significant cup so it doesn't take up much more room than my super thin stock insole did. this would probably be the best bet for carbons too, it keeps your heel at the same height so the cuff flexes the same.

For an orthotic arch support, I would check out the Superfeet Yellow Premium Insoles or the CurrexSole FootDisc Hardboots that are more flexible.
If you seek a very slim cushion with some arch support you may try the Spenco Polysorb FLOW-Warm Insoles; however, for basic cushion and arch cushion support for just under $20 the Spenco Full Length Arch Cushions are fantastic and trimmable in any spot (so they can be fully customized to your foot/shoe specs. Please note that they are a basic spencore foam cushion made to retain shape & long term cushion.
