I've used Superfeet GREEN insoles for years...
What other insoles are out there to consider for having extremely good arch support??
I mean arch supports that don't collapse easily while running, I have a 'heavy' stride.
Thank you, :) w
What other insoles are equivalent to Superfeet GREEN insoles??

I've tried the Superfeet Green and the Spenco Ground Control. The Ground Control is 1.8 ounce so it's slightly heavier than the Green. It has more heel cushion. The arch support varies by whether you get the Ground Control High or Medium arch. The arch isn't adustable. The high arch is just a little too much. I've fixed it by trimming some of the padding off.
If you can live with the harder impact on the heel with the Superfeet Green, it's a better insert. If you need more heel cushion, I'd recommend the Ground Control in either medium or high arch.
Given that you want good arch support, I'd still recommend the Superfeet Green. The only reason I tried the Spenco Ground Control is that it was being closed out at $10 where I bought it.

Used Spenco for year's in my trainer's and work boots until I talked with the Representatives at the Boston Marathon expo one year and they were rude as !!!!. That was the end of using insoles for anything.

Currex makes nice ones for high arches

I use the Sidas brand. They are pretty solid.

I had used Vionic insoles with great success for PF in one foot, the other one only occasional heel pain. They quit making the insoles that I was using, and their new ones are not hitting me in the right place. The powerstep greens are pretty simialar, jut a little too firm.. I ended up getting some custom ones because my feet are shaped different enough from right to left to tell a difference with off the shelf insoles. Next I may try the semi custom ones from Road Runner sports. good luck

Why do you guys run with arch supports? Is it because you have a specific issue without them?
I'm asking because I have high arches and someone at a running store said my arches collapse when i run and need shoes with more support. I run in neutral shoes. I've been mostly healthy for 2 decades aside from a few foot issues recently. I do exercises like towel scrunches which I think are helpful. I just wonder at what point do you experiment with arch supports?

reasons to try arch support insoles: some people have low arches, which can result in more pronation, which can eventually cause knee issues, also better arch support can help in other ways
if you're a neutral runner and don't have injuries, proceed cautiously with experimenting
meanwhile there are so many brands claiming to work wonders, i've decided to stick with superfeet b/c it's the only one i can *easily* get, other brands are not sold anywhere near me and the nearest store with anything other than superfeet (they only have powerstep) is a 2+ hour roundtrip, not worth it...
all that said, if anyone knows anything about powerstep insoles that would be very helpful
thank you, :) w10
