Orthotics can be tremendously helpful to runners who need a little bit of extra support than what their shoes provide. They can also be great for people suffering from plantar fasciitis or overpronation by helping the foot and lower body stay in alignment on a run. But there are two drawbacks to using specialized, custom orthotics in your running shoes: they are expensive, and they add weight. If you’re looking for an alternative, the Superfeet brand has launched their lightest performance orthotic insert to date, coming in at one ounce (28 g)–the Adapt Run, which features all the benefits of a regular orthotic, but with lightly structured cushioning and support to make it feel like a regular insole.
The Superfeet Adapt Run insoles are designed to flex and adapt to your foot’s natural motion for a smooth, easy ride and unmatched cushioning in every step. The low- to medium-arch orthotic support helps stabilize the foot while running, and the insole’s thin profile is made to fit well in all running shoes. This is beneficial for those suffering from plantar fasciitis, helping absorb impact and providing cushioning on hard surfaces. Insoles For Shoes Too Big
The Adapt Run insole can hold its shape over distance, delivering reliable support and comfort for up to 12 months, or 1,000 kilometres. The Adapt Run insoles also feature moisture-wicking technology to keep your feet feeling fresh at any time of year.
Since most custom orthotics aren’t specifically designed for running, they can lack cushioning in high-impact areas. The Adapt Run insole has a responsive forefoot and heel cushioning that reduces excess vibration, minimizing stress and strain on every strike.
The Superfeet Adapt Run insoles can be found online at www.superfeet.com, at Sportchek or at your local run specialty store for $49.99.
