Where to buy good replacement insoles in Singapore?

**crazy_smasher** · 11-22-2005, 09:30 AM

Hi all,

Looking to replace the insole in my ar88 with one with more cushion.
Any good place to buy good replacement insoles in Singapore?
Looking mainly for very soft / gel based ones.

Seen some sof sole ones in world of sports and royal sporting but they are quite thick and not too soft.

Also, i have seen some heel cups, very soft gel-based ones, transparent, wondering if they are any good, they feel so soft

I think i read somewhere that heel cups are not good for playing badminton because it can cause foot unstability. Is that true?

Thanks and regards

World of sports one is quite high.
LP one never look closely so far, may be i check it next time, but almost all soles are not very soft.

I think the sof sole or LP is too high and not soft enough.

I have seen some spenco gel insole at $30.
Anyone used them before?
Is too soft gel not good for stability?

wonder if there are updates on what insoles are available in SGP?

the locally sold replacement insoles i've found (Sof Sole athletes plus is reviewed in the link below and sold at RSH), even those advertised as 'sports insoles' seem to be too flexible. ideally, the midsole area is supposed to be stiff such that it is difficult to bend the insole into half. The forefoot/heel area still can have a lot of cushioning. eg: Yonex insoles for SHB98/99 are all relatively stiff.

check out this pdf for an insole review: http://www.soredawg.com/review.pdf

those that are at world of sports are pretty good insoles. very good shock absorption. i use them since my army daze w those hard full leather boots. that was like more than 10 years ago!!!

for badminton, i bought the thinner get insole for about 18 dollars. you can really feel the difference. a pair last about 1 year playing like 3 times a week before they start to worn out.

has anyone tried the Superfeet insoles that were recommended by a lot of poeple? wonder if they sell the performance green ones here though, i saw superfeet insoles at a store but it was for hiking.

Saw two models of Sof Sole available at RSH yesterday. They cost $26 and $49 respectiviely.

BTW Safra Toa Payoh now carry Yonex insoles. Believe its produced by Sunrise and the insoles/packaging is different from the JP insoles. Not sure of the price.

The Yonex insoles are selling at around S$13-S$14 if i not wrong. From the packaging...it says got arch support..raised heel cup....and the bottom of the insoles has some hexagonal designs technology....looks quite nice actually.

The insoles feel quite thick overall and thus, believe will have sufficient cushion.
