Insoles for lifting, plyometrics and conditioning volume

Most of an athlete's total foot contacts happen in training, not competition. Springbak® Springsoles go under the insole of your trainers so the weight room, plyo work and conditioning all get the same resilient layer your game shoes do.

What strength & training demands of your feet

  • Plyometric landings — the highest-force reps of the week
  • Jump rope, sled work and conditioning volume
  • Long lifting sessions standing on hard rubber flooring
  • Back-to-back training days with limited recovery

Why Springsoles fit this sport

Highest-volume protection

You train far more than you compete. Reducing shock across those contacts is the biggest total-load win available.

Consistent feel

The material recovers between reps rather than compressing flat like foam over a training block.

Works in any trainer

Anything with a removable insole — cross trainers, running shoes, weightlifting shoes.

The technology, materials and four U.S. patents behind Springsoles are detailed on How it works.

On the record

What athletes and coaches say about Springsoles

Published endorsements from a Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback, NFL and collegiate coaches, and the biomechanics researchers who tested the material. Individual results vary.

“I can run faster, jump higher, and have less fatigue. I would highly recommend Springbak® Springsoles to enhance athletic performance.”
Champ BaileyCornerback, Denver Broncos; Pro Football Hall of Fame

Weber State force plate testing

What the force-plate result means on the track

Weber State University human-performance lab testing showed it took more than twice the force to displace a person standing on Springsoles. For a sprinter, that matters at ground contact: the material resists collapse under the short, high loads of a block start, jump plant or hurdle touchdown, returning energy instead of absorbing it like foam.

  • More stable foot platform through the drive phase of a sprint.
  • Less deformation means the spike plate and pin angle stay as you trained them.
  • The same resilience shows up across thousands of tempo reps, not just one max-effort rep.

See the full breakdown on Proof & testing.

Force-Plate Stability Study

In force-plate testing, subjects standing on Springbak® Springsoles showed more than twice the overall resistance to being pushed from their position.

In plain English: they were harder to move. They could hold their ground better against a sideways push—exactly the kind of stability athletes need when planting, cutting, jumping, landing, and absorbing contact.

Springbak® gives the foot a more stable, responsive platform to work from inside the shoe.

Results are from the force-plate testing described in U.S. Patent No. 6,589,630 B1. Individual results vary.

Fitting them to your strength & training footwear

  1. Try the Springsole without trimming first.
  2. If the factory liner is removable, remove it and place the Springsole underneath it.
  3. If the liner is lightly glued, gently pull to see whether it releases cleanly. If it does, place the Springsole underneath it.
  4. If the liner begins to tear, stretch, deform, or resist removal, stop and leave it in place. Put the Springsole on top instead.
  5. Never force out a firmly bonded or stitched liner.
  6. Trim only if needed for a flat fit, starting at the toe/forefoot and removing a very small amount at a time.
  7. Do not trim the heel and do not unnecessarily narrow the sides.
  8. Recheck the fit after every small trim.
  9. For heavy squats and deadlifts, confirm the Springsole lies completely flat so nothing shifts.
  10. The same pair works for plyometrics, conditioning and warm-ups.

FAQ

Strength & Training insoles — frequently asked questions

Should I lift in them?

+

Plenty of athletes do. The 3/32" profile is thin enough to keep you stable while still giving you a resilient layer for jump and conditioning work.

How long does a pair last?

+

The material is chosen for resilience rather than foam-style compression, so a pair holds its properties through heavy training use.

Are Springsoles good for running and conditioning?

+

Yes. Many athletes run their conditioning in the same pair they lift in — the material returns energy on each contact instead of flattening out.

Should I use them for plyometrics specifically?

+

Plyos are the highest-force reps of your week, so that's exactly where a resilient layer earns its keep.

Can I use them for standing and coaching all day?

+

Plenty of coaches do. The comfort benefit on hard gym floors is the same benefit athletes get on landings.

All four listings are the exact same patented 3/32-inch Springbak® Springsole at the same price — only the size scale printed on the package changes. The current price is shown live from our store.

Will Springsoles fit court shoes, cleats, trainers and work boots?

Yes. 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. 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.

Not just for competition

Balance and stability off the court

The same patented material shows up in stability testing, not just performance testing. On a force plate at Weber State University it took more than twice the force to push a person off the plate while standing on Springsoles. 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 Springbak® balance and force-plate proof.
