Meet NEW Hike Cushion

Meet NEW Hike Cushion

Hikers, backpackers, trail runners and outdoor adventurers rejoice — the cushioning and support your shoes are missing is here.

Introducing all-new Superfeet Hike Cushion, featuring patented Adaptive Comfort Technology™ in an insole made to adapt and flex with you, even on the roughest terrain.

This revolutionary new underfoot cushion and feel was first introduced in Superfeet Run Cushion Low Arch and Superfeet Run Cushion High Arch. In no short time, those two new Superfeet became top sellers and fan favorites.  

We are thrilled to bring Adaptive Comfort Technology, born out of research from the Human Performance Lab at the University of Calgary, to an all-new Superfeet insole for hiking and outdoor footwear

"Our newly-patented Adaptive Comfort Technology is the core innovation in our ADAPT insoles. ADAPT Hike Max is designed to reach a new group of hikers and outdoor enthusiasts — those who can benefit from signature Superfeet shape and like a more cushioned, flexible feel under their feet," says Matt Gooch, Superfeet VP of Product and Innovation. 

Superfeet Hike Cushion — It's All In the Details

Let's take a closer look at what makes ADAPT Hike Max so special:

Two layers of durable Aerolyte™ comfort foam help your feet relax inside your shoes and extra protection on rough terrain. 

A responsive forefoot zone blends cushioning and rebound to add a spring to every step. 

Adaptive Comfort Technology™ — this patented design flexes with you, adapting your footwear to the way your feet move.

An embedded energizing heel cushion disperses impact and reduces vibration to minimize fatigue. 

And finally, a necessity for your hiking shoes — Moisturewick™ for improved wicking and breathability, plus odor control. 

Superfeet Hike Cushion — What People Are Saying

We were able to get Hike Cushion (previously named ADAPT Hike Max) insoles into the shoes of outdoor adventurers early on, and the reviews came pouring in.

"I love my Superfeet ADAPT Hike Max Insoles...they keep my feet and my knees feeling good after many miles, especially with a loaded down pack full of camera gear." — Erin McGrady (@e.mcgrady)

"After a minor knee injury I visited a physical therapist who recommended some exercises, along with Superfeet insoles to maintain better alignment and movement. I replaced the insoles in old hiking boots of mine with the ADAPT Hike Max insoles after trimming them to fit, and I noticed a difference immediately! Now I can hike longer and more often!" — Christine La (@xtine.lotus)

Superfeet Hike Support versus Superfeet Hike Cushion

The addition of Superfeet Hike Cushion to our hiking and outdoor-specific insoles means you now have more choices for the trail.   
 
So, which to choose — Superfeet Hike Support or Superfeet Hike Cushion?  
 
The answer is personal.   
 
Just like no two feet are like, every person has a vastly different interpretation of comfort. Your individual perception of comfort is one of the most important factors in choosing what you wear under your feet. You are the Goldilocks in this story — pick the Superfeet that feels just right for you.  (Goldilocks was right to be selective. Research has shown that increased comfort is linked to injury reduction.) 
 
Like a firm, structured feel? Choose Hike Support (previously named TRAILBLAZER Comfort).  For women's footwear, choose Hike Women's Support (previously named TRAILBLAZER Comfort Women's).
 

Hike Support insoles feature a stabilizer cap built EVOLyte®, our proprietary carbon fiber blend, and are topped with two layers of supportive foam.  Hikers and outdoor adventurers describe these insoles as structured and stable, with a responsive feel, meaning there is rebound and energy return in every step. 

Prefer a more cushioned, softer feel? Choose Hike Cushion. 

This new insole delivers all the benefits of Superfeet shape, but the first thing you’ll feel is the cushioning. The built-in patented Adaptive Comfort Technology is designed to flex and adapt to your foot as you move.  Hikers tell us these insoles feel like they are an extension of the shoes themselves — a hidden comfort upgrade designed to save your feet from fatigue and help you get more out of every step.

No matter which Superfeet you choose, it’s time say farewell to sore, tired feet and hello to outdoor adventures. The mountains are calling — let’s go.
