I have been doing the Insanity workouts. They are really hard and I am jumping around like a crazy woman! (no comments please!) My feet hurt every night, mostly in my heels. It probably doesn't help that I am working out in the basement on a cement floor that has ceramic tile. There is no give in cement.
When I found Superfeet insoles, I was so happy. I was even happier after I got them and put them in my shoes. My feet aren't hurting anymore. I have more support, more cushion and my feet are not hurting!!! YAY!!
I am using the Superfeet green insole for maximum absorption and I LOVE them! There are many different choices in insoles and you should be sure to check them out online before you purchase one, or go to the nearest retailer and have them fit you properly. You can get a different type of insole for every pair of shoes and what you will be doing in those shoes!
I am so glad that I found these and that I don't have any more heel pain when I do my workouts or just am on my feet all day. When the foot is supported, the body is in alignment. The average active person takes about 8,000 - 13,000 steps per day. If your shoes are not supporting your feet properly, you can get blisters, bunions and misalignment.
The great thing about Superfeet's Encapsulating Stablizier System is the it helps support and stabilize the feet, this makes your shoes fit better and you can avoid discomfort or pain. the insoles have a deep heel cup to cradle the heel's fat pad for improved natural shock absorption!
I'll have to check these out=)
ReplyDeleteSuperfeet is in my neighborhood! Not literally, but the same town at least. :)
ReplyDeleteThose look cool. (So does Insanity!)
ReplyDeleteHey Dana,
ReplyDeleteI too am doing the Insanity workouts, and I have been having pain in the outside edges of my feet. I think it is the constant side to side bounding I am doing with plyometric exercises like the "Heisman" or the "ski jumps" - you know what I mean...
I just got back from our local running store - Pacers - and they also suggested the green Superfeet insoles. I hesitated at first due to the slight stiffness of the new insole, but I've read that it takes a few days to get used to them. I'll be going back to get them next week!
Good luck with the Insanity, and keep up the good work!!
Sarah - these are great, you will love them!
