Springbak® Springsoles

Explosive play starts beneath your feet

Springsoles are patented, 3/32-inch energy-return insoles. Try them untrimmed first; place them under a removable liner or on top of a firmly bonded or stitched liner. One pair, made in the USA.

Why Springsoles work

Energy return, not cushioning

A thin resilient layer gives your feet something to push into, so force you already produce comes back instead of dissipating into the shoe.

Grounded balance

In force-plate testing at Weber State, it took more than twice the force to displace a person standing on Springsoles.

Four U.S. patents

5,554,694 · 5,695,850 · 6,120,880 · 6,589,630 B1 — the mechanism is protected, documented and made in the USA.

Springsoles are made in the USA and shipped direct — there is no dealer network, no middleman markup and no storefront, which is how a patented performance product stays at made in the USA. Every order ships from us to you.

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.
