What type of insoles?

[Anonymous]

Are your kids using special insoles with their soccer shoes? A coach recommended we try some instead of the "crappy stuff they put inside those shoes" and was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with any brand / type over another. Do you take the existing factory insole out and put in a new one, or does the insole slip in on top (would seem the shoes are pretty tight as is).

Unless your kid has a medical condition with his or her feet, you don't need to buy special insoles.

Great question. I am very interested to knowing this too.

Even the $60 Nike soccer cleats and turf shoes I got her, there doesn’t seem to have adequate insoles.

Wouldn't it be better than what there is? My basic running shoes have so much more support than a pair of football shoes which are basically have the internals of a flip flop.

My good friend who I've known since elementary school is a podiatrist and has a very talented daughter who plays U15 soccer at a high level told me the exact same thing. If there is no pain, leave it alone. No insoles needed.

What ages are your kids?

We use orthodics because my kids (9) feet are painful without them. But I could also see also getting a more cushioned insole as well. Cleats put a lot of pressure on a very few spots on the feet.

Soccer boot traditionally should fit tight almost as barefoot of a feeling you can get. There is no reason for insoles as worn in basketball shoes because there's very little jumping high with impact as in basketball. Soccer relies more on touch on the ball therefore you want as close to a barefoot feel as possible .

Mine uses sports insoles.

The insoles that come with the cleats are thin and DD starts getting pain from the knee down. Switched the insoles and boom, fixed.

That's fine for the top, but not the bottom.

Please ignore this post, this person has no idea what insoles are meant to do. Insoles do more than just address impact, depending on the player things such as heel pain, knee pain, back pain can be solved by a solid heel cup and arch support. The 2 I recommend is Currex and superfeet.

Thank you for the recommendations. Do these insoles go on top of the existing insoles or do you have to remove the existing insoles?

We use them and rip out the crappy insoles that come with the boot.

On Amazon's webpage for the Curex, the users questions/answers all suggested removing the manufacturer's insole and using this instead.

They sell and fit them really well at Shoe Train in Potomac. Highly recommend heading out there.

The inserts will generally move you up a 1/2 size and there really isn't any benefit with keeping the old ones, there also isn't really any issues to keep them in either if the shoe fits comparability. These inserts aren't cheap, but they could bring more benefits than the boot itself.
