Track & Field Performance Insoles Built for Speed and Power

Springbak® Springsoles

Track and field demands speed, strength, balance, endurance, and precise movement. Whether you sprint, run distance, hurdle, jump, vault, or compete in combined events, performance begins with the way your feet connect with the ground.

Springbak® Springsoles are ultra-thin performance insoles designed to support the explosive and repetitive movements track and field athletes rely on. Their patented construction fits inside most spikes, trainers, and competition shoes without adding unnecessary bulk or significantly changing the fit of the footwear.

Trusted by Track & Field Coaches and Athletes

Coaches understand that small improvements in speed, stride efficiency, stability, and fatigue resistance can make a meaningful difference in competition. Springbak® Springsoles have been evaluated and used by athletes and coaches across sprinting, distance running, jumping, and multi-event training.

Springbak® is designed to support the complete track and field athlete—not only during one race or one jump, but throughout warm-ups, training sessions, repeated efforts, and competition.

Built for Track & Field Movement

Sprinting and Acceleration
Support the powerful first steps, rapid turnover, and explosive movement required in short sprints and relay exchanges.

Distance and Endurance Events
Help athletes maintain comfort, rhythm, and consistent movement through repeated strides and longer training sessions.

Hurdles
Support quick ground contact, balance, coordination, and controlled movement between barriers.

Long Jump and Triple Jump
Designed for the speed, stability, and explosive takeoff movements used on the runway and at the board.

High Jump and Pole Vault
Support controlled approach speed, balance, plant mechanics, and explosive upward movement.

Throws and Combined Events
Provide a stable, low-profile foundation for rotational movement, footwork, lifting, and multi-event training.

How Springbak® Supports Faster, More Efficient Movement

Running speed is influenced by several factors, including stride length, stride frequency, ground-contact time, strength, technique, and conditioning. Springbak® Springsoles were developed to work beneath the foot during repeated athletic movement while preserving the natural feel of the athlete’s footwear.

The ultra-thin design uses resilient performance materials engineered to respond under the forces created during sprinting, running, jumping, and landing. Unlike bulky replacement insoles, Springsoles are designed to fit beneath the existing insole or footbed, depending on the shoe, without requiring a larger shoe size.

Springbak® does not replace training, coaching, strength development, or proper technique. It is designed to become part of an athlete’s existing footwear system and support confident, consistent movement from warm-up through competition.

Designed to Support

  • Fast acceleration and turnover
  • Efficient stride mechanics
  • Balance during takeoff and landing
  • Stability through curves and changes in direction
  • Repeated explosive efforts
  • Comfort during training and competition

What Coaches and Researchers Have Reported

 

Track Coach Evaluation

“Members of our track team tested farther in the standing double bound and higher in the vertical jump.”

Mark Robison
Track & Field Coach, Brigham Young University

Coaching Experience on the Track

“The athletes felt like they were running easier and getting off the ground quicker.”

Jim Bush
Former USC and UCLA Track Coach-Five NCAA Track Championships

Evaluated Through Stride-Length Testing

“We did a blind treadmill study at the University of Southern California on stride length improvement using Springbak® Springsoles versus placebo pads at 2.5 mph. There were over 2½ percent fewer strides and, at 4.5 mph, approximately 4½ percent fewer strides with Springbak® material inserted in the participants’ shoes.”

Dr. Robert Wiswell
Chairman, Department of Exercise Science
University of Southern California

These findings provide useful insight into how the product interacted with stride mechanics during that evaluation. Individual performance will vary based on the athlete, event, footwear, technique, and training.

 

Patented Technology Developed for Athletic Performance

Springbak® Springsoles are protected by four U.S. patents covering performance-enhancing athletic shoe components and methods:

  • U.S. Patent No. 5,554,694
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,695,850
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,120,880
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,589,630 B1

Explore Our Four U.S. Patents

The patented technology uses specialized resilient materials in an ultra-thin insert designed for athletic footwear. The concept was developed to place a responsive performance material directly beneath the athlete’s foot while maintaining the original fit and function of the shoe.

Springbak® was originally developed with track and field movement in mind and later expanded into multiple sports. Your current site also describes the product as a patented, ultra-thin design intended to support speed, power, stability, and endurance.

Why the Design Matters for Track & Field

Track athletes often choose highly specialized footwear. Sprinters use spikes designed for speed, distance runners prioritize weight and efficiency, and jumpers need control through the approach and takeoff.

At only approximately 3/32 inch thick, Springbak® Springsoles are designed to add performance technology without turning a competition shoe into a bulky comfort shoe.


From the Starting Blocks to the Finish Line

Track and field is measured in fractions of a second, inches, and centimeters. Success depends on preparation, technique, confidence, and the ability to repeat efficient movement under pressure.

Springbak® Springsoles are designed to support athletes across the full range of track and field performance—from explosive starts and fast turnover to controlled takeoffs, stable landings, and the endurance required to finish strong.

Every event begins from the ground up. Put Springbak® beneath your feet and experience the difference during training and competition.
