Superfeet Men's REDhot Ski and Snowboard Boot Footbed Warmth Comfort and Performance Insole

I have been operating under the impression that Superfeet insoles were designed to provide arch support. This is my first pair, advertised as "High profile" (high arch support), and they don't touch the arch of my foot anywhere other than the very outside edge of my foot. The only part of my foot bearing weight is my heel and pad of my for foot. I have always know I have high arches but I must really be a freak of nature. I have found arch supports that do provide support to my feet but it hasn't been easy. I hope the insulation and reflective materiel on these do what it claims otherwise I just wasted $60.

I bought Spenco padded inserts because they were more cushy in my old ski boots. But they took up too much room - I tried cutting the toe off the pad so my toes would have wiggle room to stay warm. That was either the problem or the pads just didn't work because after a day of skiing my feet were sore. (I've skied many days before in my old boots without issue - so it was most likely the missing toe part of the insole.)Decided to do it right and get Smartfeet. They are more compact but so far so good. Not sure how they do it, because I don't feel much cushion. After a day of skiing, my feet aren't sore.Can't quite tell if the boots are warmer. I always rely upon neoprene boot covers - best purchase ever for staying warm. Between the new Smartfeet and the covers, I have no issues staying warm.

I bought this for a ski boot.Like: buying a size smaller and that it is narrower meant I did not have to cut it to size. Just slip it in. The arch support helped tremendously. Seriously I never thought arch support was so essential in ski boots since I never had this problem in my usual shoes.Dislike: actually nothing. Fit well, support well and I had a great time at the slopes without foot pain.

I'm very (5 stars) happy with my purchase, but you should read all the reviews if you're considering the Red Hot. It is true that these footbeds are 'high volume' so keep that in mind if you are considering them. I previously used the green Superfeet plus a pair of simple shoe liners (the $3 kind you can get anywhere) inserted underneath the Superfeet to take top-to-bottom volume out of my boots (Lange RX110). The Red Hot allowed me to remove that simple liner and tipped me up just a bit more in the heel for zero pressure on my left navicular and just a little on my right - less than with the green (I need to have the right boot punched out a bit, but that's an existing issue).Also, my first use was on a 30F windy day with about 10" of fresh snow and my feet stayed very warm all day. (It was a great April Fools Day joke for us in New England.) I'm not sure how much of that was actually due to the reflective liner or me knowing it had a reflective liner (placebo effect). Either way, I'm happy with the warmth and how they performed.

I have used Superfeet in the past so I thought I would take a chance and order online but when it arrived, I checked it out and decided it wasn't worth over $50. The arch height seemed a bit too low for my foot (I have a neutral foot, not very high arches). It also seemed pretty flimsy and not very well. For example the layers seem to be glued sloppily together and I don't have confidence that they won't start peeling about after some use. I was going to return it but was surprised to see they don't accept returns. There may have been some fine print about that but nothing obvious to me. I can't recommend this product.

I put a pair of these footbeds in a new pair of mountaineering boots. I always throw away the stock footbeds in my ski boots, cycling shoes or hiking boots. My other footbeds range from full-on custom made orthotics, through heat moldable footbeds. These are the first pair of Superfeet I've bought and they're at the low-end of the price range I'd spend. That said, they were very comfortable and I have no complaints, which means five stars for the price. My feet have stayed warm using them, but no way to objectively assess whether the Outlast treatment really helped here. I still puzzle why manufacturers can sell $300 mountaineering boots and $700 ski boots with foot-beds they made from toilet paper, but given they do, I'd recommend these insoles...

Like most SuperFeet, it is well constructed and provides an instant improvement over the lousy $2 original footbed included with most boots (even my $760 Scarpa Freedom SL's!). There hasn't been enough snow yet to try them out on the hill, so I will update this review later regarding the thermal insulation that is advertised to be worth the extra $10 these cost over the Coppers. My only complaint is they only offer the Red Hots with a single arch type, and the Red Hots are definitely not a shallow low profile design!

I have no idea whether these would have mad my feet warmer, because the excessive heel lift just ruined my boot fit and my skiing. I had to take them out after a few runs.

This item noticeably keeps my feet warmer,4 stars as the silver coating on the underside has worn away completely.

Bought these to replace the inadequate insole in a pair of “arctic” boots. Out in snow and temperatures down to -7 recently. Feet stayed warm and comfortable. Although designed for ski boots I think these will work well in most boots including wellingtons.

£40 for a bit of plastic and foam seems excessive. However, they do seem to help stop my ankle from hurting and the foil bottom keeps them warm.

A*****

Read some rave reviews about these. Premium product and pretty spendy for insoles, but way cheaper than new boots. Not nearly as warm as expected. In fact, my feet are no warmer than they were with the 25 year old worn out insoles I removed. But very comfortable. I have high arches and the support is nice.
