Superstep
Orthotic Arch Supports
From KLM Labs |
|
All three
models of the KLM Superstep orthotic arch supports are designed with
an arch support shell that is made from polypropylene plastic but
what makes the Superstep brand of arch supports unique is that each
of the three models (Mild, Medium and Max) has a slightly different
formula of polypropylene plastic. These three different formulas each
have a different density and hence a different rigidity. This means
that while each model of Superstep orthotic arch supports all have
the exact same shape and height (which is about ¾ of an inch
high) each model flexes to a different (greater or lesser) degree;
hence accommodating a wide range of foot types, arch heights and foot
sensitivity levels.

Different Densities |

Superstep - Mild |
| Superstep
Mild orthotic arch supports are the most flexible of the three Superstep
models. They have considerable give and are best suited for people
with naturally low arches or people with flat feet who have never
worn an arch support before. They are also good for people who have
very sensitive feet but still need at least a minimal amount of support. |
| Superstep
- Medium |
| Superstep Medium orthotic
arch supports are a little more aggressive than the Mild. They still
work well for people with flat feet but are better for people with
flat and/or sensitive feet that have tried more mild drug store arch
support brands and are ready for the next step up (in support). |
| Superstep
- Max |
| Superstep Max orthotic
arch supports are the most aggressive of the line. The Superstep Max
model is very similar to the Powerstep Line of arch supports and (like
the Powerstep) is recommended for medium to high arches. If you have
tried the Powerstep line of arch supports (especially the Powerstep
Pinnacle) then this is the model that you want to look at. It offers
the same level of support and a similar level of cushioning. |

Covering Material |
| KLM’s
Superstep orthotic arch supports consist of a Polypropylene plastic
shell that is encapsulated in three layers of cushioning material.
The plastic arch support shell has a top and bottom layer of OrthoLite
foam. OrthoLite is an open cell polyurethane base foam. The unique
open cell structure of OrthoLite enables air to travel through and
around the insole creating a cooler environment inside the shoe. Along
with air, the open cell structure inherent to the OrthoLite foam works
to transport moisture away from the foot and then disperse it evenly
throughout the foam. This promotes the quickest possible drying time
inside of a shoe. A patented biocide is added to all OrthoLite foams
to fight against the presence of fungus, bacteria, and odor. Lining
the bottom of the KLM Superstep orthotic arch supports is a 16th inch
thick layer of 8 pound (which refers to its density) EVA (Ethyl Vinyl
Acetate) closed cell foam. This adds an additional resilient layer
of denser shock absorbing cushion material under for forefoot, arch
and heel. |

KLM’s Superstep
orthotic arch supports are a full length arch support (foot support)
and are designed for athletic or casual shoes that have a somewhat
substantial removable insole. The arch support shell is rather thin
(about 1/8th of and inch or 4 millimeters thick) but the foam top
and bottom cushion layers are each and about 1/8th of an inch thick
giving the KLM Superstep orthotic arch support a profile that is about
¼ inch thick (uncompressed by the bodies weight). With the
body’s weight the foam top and bottom layers will compress a
little making the Superstep a little thinner than ¼ inch but
in any case it is still a rather substantial insole and not dissimilar
in thickness to the Powerstep Pinnacle.
