Comparison
Blumaka vs Superfeet: an honest comparison
Superfeet is the insole most people have heard of. It's on the wall at nearly every running store. Here's how ours stack up, using their own published numbers and ours.

The short answer
The biggest difference is proof. Superfeet says its insoles last "up to 12 months or 500 miles" and we couldn't find any durability testing behind it. Ours are tested, and guaranteed: a 1,000-mile cushioning guarantee, and in testing by Heeluxe, an independent lab, they kept 87% of their cushioning after 1,389 miles. Per mile, ours cost 5 to 6.5 cents. Superfeet's cost 9 to 12 cents by their own numbers. Add a grippy NonSlip top and a 90-day guarantee, even if worn.

Where Blumaka comes out ahead
Durability you can check. Superfeet says up to 500 miles or 12 months. We guarantee 1,000 miles, and an independent lab measured 87% of our cushioning still there after 1,389 miles. That works out to 5 to 6.5 cents a mile, against 9 to 12 cents for Superfeet.
Your foot stays put. Our NonSlip top grips your sock, so your foot doesn't slide on stops or cuts. In independent biomechanical performance testing, 80% of athletes stopped faster and 80% increased lower-body stability.
A longer, easier trial. 90 days, even if you've worn them, compared with Superfeet's 60.
All three arch heights in one insole. Pick low, medium or high on the same product.
Where Superfeet comes out ahead

A carbon insole made for road running. Their Run Pacer Elite ($94.99) is built for runners. Our carbon insoles are built for field and court athletes and turf toe.

Matt M.Verified buyer
“Using these [Blumaka] insoles in my running shoes. They seem to be equally comfortable/supportive with my SuperFeet carbon insoles.”
Elizabeth K.Verified review
