Your feet connect you to the world. Whether it’s long walks on the beach, arduous hikes on your favorite trail, or a casual stroll through the town, your feet deserve the best so they can get you through life’s daily journeys. Enter the full line of Superfeet footwear: Comfortable, stylish and ready to wander.
On Performance and Design…
For 40 years, people have been reveling in the heel-cradling, arch-hugging shape of Superfeet inserts. More than just another insert, Superfeet is based on the principles of podiatric medicine and has earned over forty US and international patents along the way.
Building on a long and successful history of providing people with personalized fit solutions, Superfeet has taken the business of personalized fit to the next level. Built from the insole out, Superfeet has crafted a full line of footwear for men and women ranging from supportive sandals to street-savvy shoes.
The construction of each shoe begins with Superfeet’s trademarked Lock-and-Key™ construction, which means they start with a premium Superfeet insole—delivering the brand’s unmistakable shape—and marry it to the midsole for optimal fit and function. Then they add an outsole with tread and flex grooves that complement your stride and finish it off with materials like premium-grade leather and highly-breathable mesh.
Each shoe utilizes Superfeet Supercork™ premium insoles. Your eco-friendly heart will love the cork insoles because they are completely natural and 100% renewable. But your body will love these premium insoles because they naturally adapt to the shape of your foot, delivering unparalleled, long-lasting shock absorption so the comfort of your shoes doesn’t give-out before you do.
The result of these foot-friendly features and innovations? You get to enjoy your wanderings with the casual style and the technical prowess usually found in far less stylish footwear. From the Olympia Chipmunk to the Addy Yucca, these shoes have been adventuring with us from bike rides in downtown Scottsdale to walks on the walls of Lucca in Italy. Each step of the way, these kicks have not only offered breathable performance and much needed support, but they have proven to be some of the most versatile shoes in our travel bags.
In addition to providing off-the-charts comfort, Superfeet footwear is incredibly lightweight. Like impressively, cloud walking, heavenly kind of light. So whether you’re sprinting through terminals at LAX, or out for an afternoon at the local farmer’s market, you can wear them all day without ever being weighed down. It’s another benefit of these shoes which will leave you reaching for them more days than not.
Notes from the road…
When hustling through international terminals, and racing your buddies on local rental bikes, you tend to garner a deep familiarity with your footwear. It’s those moments of hard use and abuse that will make or break your experience with footwear. Through each and every mile traveled, our appreciation for the Superfeet footwear, and the compliments they seem to cultivate, has grown.
But there is one issue that we have experienced. Superfeet’s premium take on the classic Chukka boot – the Olympia Chipmunk – features a heel tab on the back of the collar. Despite limited use of the heel tab, the threading which connects the material to the boot has started to unravel, and the tab itself has started to detach from the boot. Admittedly, the tab may simply be there to serve as an aesthetic accent than a purpose driven feature – either way when spending around $100 dollars on a pair of premium leather shoes, it’s a problem you’d expect not to have.
Bottom Line….
Built a foundation of podiatric medicine, comfort and performance, Superfeet’s sandals are shoes are ready to reward your feet for their years of faithful service.
