Football insoles for cleats, turf shoes and game-day fit
Football is built around short, explosive movements — starts, stops, plants and repeated contact. Springbak® Springsoles add a thin 3/32-inch 1,4-polybutadiene layer inside compatible football cleats. The material is designed to compress under load and return toward its shape. Confirm that it lies flat and check fit, heel position, lockdown and lace tension in your own cleats. Former BYU and Raiders standout Todd Christensen endorsed Springbak after using the product.

Why Springsoles fit this sport
A resilient layer designed for energy return
The 1,4-polybutadiene layer is designed to compress under load and return toward its shape. Energy return is the intended material function, not a measured first-step result.
Cleat-safe thickness
At 3/32 inch, the layer is designed to minimize changes inside the cleat. Confirm actual fit, heel position, lockdown, lace tension and plate feel in your own cleats.
Camp durability
The material was selected for resilience; actual service life depends on how often you play and practice, the surface and your cleats. Try them untrimmed, trim only if needed for a flat fit, then keep the setup consistent.
Grounded stance strength
Weber State force-plate testing found that more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. Football stance use is an intended application, not an outcome measured in the study.
The technology, materials and four U.S. patents behind Springsoles are detailed on How it works.

Will it fit my football cleats?
Pick the cleat you actually play in and see how a Springsole is expected to go in, when trimming may be needed, and what to check. These are the ten cleats we get asked about most. Actual fit must be confirmed in your own pair.
Every verdict is an expected fit for a stock cleat, not a guarantee — confirm actual fit in your own pair. Manufacturers revise footbeds between model years. Try the Springsole without trimming first. If the factory liner is removable, remove it and place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner is lightly glued, gently pull to see whether it releases cleanly; if it does, place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner begins to tear, stretch, deform, or resist removal, stop and leave it in place. Put the Springsole on top instead. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner.

- Footbed
- Removable sock liner in stock form.
- Where the Springsole goes
- If the liner is removable, try the Springsole underneath it. If it is lightly glued, remove it only if it releases cleanly with gentle, steady pressure; if it tears, stretches, deforms or resists, stop, leave it in place and put the Springsole on top. Make sure the Springsole lies completely flat.
- Trimming
- Try it untrimmed first. Trim only if necessary, removing very small amounts from the toe or forefoot; reinsert and recheck after each trim. Do not trim the heel or unnecessarily narrow the sides.
- What you keep
- Designed to minimize changes; confirm actual fit, heel position, lockdown, lace tension and plate feel in your own cleat.

Fit, trim & sizing FAQ
Questions the fit checker answers
What does the "fits as-is" verdict mean for my football cleats?
+
"Fits as-is" means to try the stock model with the 3/32" Springsole untrimmed first. "Fits — trim the toe" means a small toe or forefoot trim may be needed only after that first fit check. "Check your pair first" means the liner may vary by model year.
How much do I trim, and where?
+
Try the Springsole without trimming first. Trim only if needed for a flat fit, starting at the toe/forefoot and removing a very small amount at a time. Do not trim the heel and do not unnecessarily narrow the sides. Recheck the fit after every small trim.
Does the Springsole go above or below my insole?
+
Try the Springsole without trimming first. If the factory liner is removable, remove it and place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner is lightly glued, gently pull to see whether it releases cleanly; if it does, place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner begins to tear, stretch, deform, or resist removal, stop and leave it in place. Put the Springsole on top instead. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner.
What size Springsole do I order for my football cleats?
+
Order by your shoe size on the Shop page. Current ranges: US men's 6/7, 8/9, 10/11; US women's 7/8, 9/10, 11/12; EU 38/40, 41/42, 43/45; UK 5/6, 7/8, 9/10. Each pair covers a size range. Try the Springsole without trimming first. Trim only if needed for a flat fit, starting at the toe/forefoot and removing a very small amount at a time. Do not trim the heel and do not unnecessarily narrow the sides. Recheck the fit after every small trim.
Will adding a layer change how my football cleats fit?
+
The layer is 3/32 of an inch (about 2.4 mm) and is designed to minimize changes inside the cleat, but cleats vary. Make sure it lies completely flat, then confirm actual fit, heel position, lockdown, lace tension and plate feel in your own cleats. Stop using it if it creates pressure, rubbing or poor lockdown.
My model is not in the list — can I still use them?
+
Yes. The picker covers the models we are asked about most. Try the Springsole without trimming first. If the factory liner is removable, remove it and place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner is lightly glued, gently pull to see whether it releases cleanly; if it does, place the Springsole underneath it. If the liner begins to tear, stretch, deform, or resist removal, stop and leave it in place. Put the Springsole on top instead. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner. If you are unsure, email info@springbak.net or call 951-277-3000 with your exact model.

Weber State force plate testing
What the force-plate study measured
Weber State force-plate testing found that more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. This was a standing resistance-to-displacement measurement. The study did not directly measure football acceleration, first-step speed, sprint speed, cutting, change-of-direction performance, blocking performance, tackling, collision forces, landing forces, shock reduction, fatigue, fourth-quarter performance, injury prevention, strength improvement or energy returned to the player.
- Three-point stances, starts, plants, cuts, blocking, rushing and receiving routes are intended applications for football — not outcomes measured in the Weber State test.
- The 1,4-polybutadiene layer is designed to compress under load and return toward its shape. Energy return is the intended material function, not a measured football-performance result.

FAQ
Football insoles — frequently asked questions
What are the best insoles for football cleats?
+
When comparing cleat inserts for football or football performance insoles, look at thickness, material, installation, fit in your own cleat and what evidence supports the product. Also check whether the product adds to or replaces the factory liner, and how it affects lockdown in your cleat. Effects on fit and feel vary by product and cleat model. Springbak® Springsoles are a 3/32-inch resilient 1,4-polybutadiene layer designed to compress and return toward its shape; energy return is the intended material function, not a measured football-performance result.
Can you put insoles in football cleats?
+
Many football cleats can take a thin added layer, but it depends on the cleat. Try the Springsole untrimmed first. If the factory liner is removable, try the Springsole underneath it. If it is lightly glued, remove it only if it releases cleanly with gentle, steady pressure; if it tears, stretches, deforms or resists, stop, leave it in place and put the Springsole on top. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner. Make sure it lies completely flat, then confirm fit, heel position, lockdown, lace tension and plate feel in your own cleat.
Do Springsoles work in low-profile speed cleats?
+
Compatibility varies by cleat. Low-profile speed cleats are often snug, so try the Springsole untrimmed first, make sure it lies completely flat, and check actual fit, heel position, lockdown and lace tension. Trim only if necessary, in very small amounts from the toe or forefoot, rechecking after each trim.
What is the difference between a Springbak® layer and a carbon-fiber insole?
+
Carbon-fiber insoles vary by model; many are stiff plates, and some are full-length or add noticeable thickness, which can change how the forefoot bends or how a cleat fits. A Springsole is a thin 3/32-inch resilient elastomer layer designed to compress under load and return toward its shape. Whichever you compare, check fit, lockdown and feel in your own cleat.
Are they legal for high school and college football?
+
Rules can vary by school, state association, league and governing body. Springbak does not treat product design or past athlete use as governing-body approval. Check the current equipment rules for your league, school or association, and ask the appropriate official if you are unsure.
Do Springsoles work in both linemen's and skill-position cleats?
+
The same thin resilient layer can be used in compatible cleats for different positions, from linemen to skill players. Football-position performance outcomes were not directly measured. Confirm fit and lockdown in your own cleats.
Do football insoles actually improve performance?
+
The Weber State study did not measure football performance. It found that more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them — a standing resistance-to-displacement measurement. Individual results vary.
Will they loosen my cleats or cause blisters?
+
Correct, completely flat installation and a careful fit check are important. Confirm heel position, lockdown and lace tension in your own cleats, and stop using them if they create pressure, rubbing or poor lockdown.
How do I choose football cleat insoles?
+
Compare thickness, material, whether the product adds to or replaces the factory liner, and evidence — ask what was measured, in which lab, by whom. Fit effects vary by product and cleat model; Springsoles are 3/32 inch. For installation, try a removable liner over the Springsole; if a lightly glued liner resists or starts to tear, stretch or deform, stop and put the Springsole on top. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner.
What size Springsole should I order for football?
+
Order your regular cleat size. Try the Springsole without trimming first. Trim only if needed for a flat fit, starting at the toe/forefoot and removing a very small amount at a time. Do not trim the heel and do not unnecessarily narrow the sides. Recheck the fit after every small trim. The size picker on the shop page covers men's, women's, UK and EU sizing.
Can I wear them in turf shoes and trainers too?
+
Compatibility varies by footwear. Use the same rule: try it untrimmed, place it under a removable liner, and if a liner resists, leave it in place and put the Springsole on top. Make sure it lies flat and confirm fit in each pair.
How many games will they last?
+
Durability depends on how often you play and practice, the surface, your footwear and use. The elastomer was selected for resilience; check the layer periodically and replace it if it no longer lies flat or has worn.
Do they help with hard turf and field-turf pounding?
+
Turf use is an intended application. Impact reduction, pain reduction and injury prevention were not directly measured. If you have pain, talk with a qualified clinician.
How do Springsoles help linemen stay balanced and grounded?
+
More than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. The test measured standing resistance to displacement. It did not measure blocking performance, playing strength, contact performance or lineman effectiveness. Use in a three-point stance is an intended application, not a measured outcome.
Can an insole really make a lineman stronger?
+
Springbak does not claim the insole increases muscle strength. Howard Gray, PhD, attributed a strength and stability increase under laboratory conditions to the result; that is his conclusion, not a separately measured strength test. What was measured: more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them.
Do Springsoles improve stability for all football positions, or mostly linemen?
+
The Weber State test measured standing resistance to displacement — more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. It did not measure stability during play, cutting or blocking for any position. Use across positions is an intended application.
What does 'more than twice the force to displace' mean for a football player?
+
It means that, in a standing test, more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. For players who work from a stance, that is a possible, intended application — not proof of better blocking or anchoring, which were not measured.
Why does balance matter so much for football performance?
+
Football involves short, max-effort movements from stances, starts and contact, so coaches train balance and body control. The Weber State test measured standing resistance to displacement only; it did not measure balance during football play or football performance.
How much do football cleat insoles cost and where do I buy them?
+
Every pair of Springbak® Springsoles is made in the USA, and covered by four U.S. patents. Pick your size on the shop page and checkout completes on the springbak.net cart. Team and program pricing is available through the bulk-order form.

Not just for competition
Balance and stability off the field
The same patented material shows up in stability testing, not just performance testing. On a force plate at Weber State University more than twice the force was required to displace a person standing on Springsoles compared with standing without them. If you or a parent are on your feet all day, read Springsoles for seniors: balance and stability all day on your feet. And if you play the fastest-growing court sport in the country, see pickleball insoles for court shoes and hard-court play.
Want the grounded-stance answers — how the force-plate result translates into balance, base of support and functional strength? Read the grounded-stance balance & stability FAQ on this page.

Linemen Are Sprinters at Short Distances
Nobody wins a snap with a max squat. They win it with force delivered in under half a second, from a stance, into the ground.

Athletes in these sports face overlapping demands — repeated starts, plants and changes of direction. Springsoles are designed as a resilient layer for those movements; energy return is the intended material function, not a measured performance result.
