Too often, wearing shoes with squishy foams or running with gel insoles ends up feeling sluggish, sapping your energy instead of adding to it. But going soft doesn’t have to mean going slow. Introducing Run Pacer insoles, made with advanced foam that feels soft when you land and springs back fast as you lift off.

At Superfeet, we’re obsessed with the sports science behind every product we make. And for good reason. We’ve been dedicated to the experience and performance of athletes since 1977, when Superfeet began as the sports division of a podiatric lab. Every day since, we’ve delivered solutions for Olympians, marathoners, casual runners and everyone in between. Run Pacer is the latest addition to our comprehensive lineup of running insoles. With a less structured design, it’s built to be the perfect training partner for younger runners or anyone new to wearing insoles.

What makes Run Pacer special?

Great runs start with the right gear, from your favorite shoes to your lucky bracelet. But when performance is on the line, average materials never hold up. Luckily, Run Pacer is anything but average.

“We’re excited to introduce an insole that provides the soft cushioning many runners love with a springy bounce that won’t slow them down,” says Matt Gooch, VP of Product & Innovation at Superfeet. “SuperRev™ supercritical foam beads give Run Pacer its unique look and also serve an important purpose. They deliver energizing bounce and long-lasting durability in every step.”

SuperRev foam is created via a supercritical process infusing advanced foams with high-pressure CO2 and nitrogen to create a unique microcellular structure. SuperRev can be sleek and lightweight (like in our Sport Ultralight insoles) or engineered with a beaded foam matrix that brings the cushioning and bounce to a whole new level.

Run Pacer makes full use of these energizing foam beads, delivering cushion that feels soft as you land, then bounces back quickly as you lift off. Add a Moisturewick™ top cover made with 100% recycled material that helps reduce odors, and you’ve got the perfect addition to long training runs.

Who is Run Pacer for?

While most runners will enjoy the springy bounce and long-lasting durability of Run Pacer, it’s the perfect solution for younger runners training for their next meet or adding distance in the off-season. It’s a great first pair to try if you’re new to Superfeet and want more energy return in every stride.

With Run Pacer, there’s no break-in time, just instant cushion. Of course, it still provides contoured arch support like all Superfeet insoles, just engineered directly into the shape of the foam rather than a rearfoot cap like the EVOLyte® carbon fiber cap used in Run Support Medium Arch.

In short, Run Pacer provides a soft “presence” underfoot while still delivering springy bounce in every liftoff. Ideal for runners new to wearing Superfeet who are training for that new PR. If the idea of adding springy cushion with extra propulsion to your runs sounds good to you, step up to Run Pacer Elite. Built with a precision-shaped Carbitex® carbon fiber plate, it’s designed to make every step feel faster and more effortless.

Add Spring to Every Stride

When you hit your stride at the perfect pace, there’s no better feeling. But when each training run turns into a grueling slog and fatigue weighs you down, it feels like falling back to earth. Running on Run Pacer feels like leaving the ground behind, even if just for a moment. With Run Pacer under your feet, you can land soft, launch far, and feel good every step of the way.
