Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019
I believe individual experience with insoles will vary widely based on foot shape, foot issues, gate and use, making my review most applicable to someone with a narrow foot, wicked pronation, a long heel-stomping stride and activities ranging from office work to hiking. I want an insole that has a high and strong arch that can keep my arch, and therefore ankle, from collapsing as I push off with each step. In other words, I am looking for structure rather than cushioning. My review is based on these conditions and needs, which may make it more or less useful for you.
As I said, I have tried three options. The first was Superfeet, which I chose after examining product photos and many Amazon reviews. Superfeet have a hard plastic heel cup and arch covered with a foam cushion, which I expected would provide strong arch support without feeling like I had lined my shoe with concrete. The insoles were magnificent, but not durable. They were unable to withstand the pressure that I put on inside wall of the insole from the heel to the arch. Within seven weeks they broke. The heel cup cracked through. Superfeet customer service was great, but the product was not going to work for me.
Having struck out the first time, I tried two options simultaneously, Sof Sole and Icebug. I have been alternating between the two for about two weeks now, which is not enough time to give feedback on durability. I am, however, able to offer a comparison for anyone trying to decide between the two.
Sof Sole Fit is most similar to Superfeet. It has a hard plastic heel cup and arch covered with a layer of foam. The heel cup is constructed differently, using a rounded rather than flat bottom. The arch is both very high and, like Superfeet, a bit close to the heel. It is, however, comfortable for me, and it appears to keep me from pronating as I am not experiencing the telltale knee pain that comes with a shoddy insole.
Icebug is a different creature. Like Superfeet and Sof Sole, Icebug has a durable base extending from heel to arch that is topped with layers of foam and fabric, but the Icebug bottom layer is different. Whereas Superfeet and Sof Sole use a hard plastic, Icebug uses a more flexible material. The literature that came with the insoles explained that it is intended to return energy to your step a bit like a spring. The arch support feels good, but much less rigid.
So far I like both Sof Sole and Icebug, wearing them on alternating days. Over time, I suspect I will begin to dedicate each insole to specific activities. Sof Sole has been great around the office and while running errands. Conversely, Icebug's more cushioned top layers and flexible underlayer may make it a better choice for longer, higher impact activities.
The real test of an insole comes with time. Superfeet failed after seven weeks. I have been wearing Sof Sole and Icebug for only two weeks. If anything noteworthy comes up in the weeks ahead, I'll update my review. If no updates have been posted, assume they have both continued to perform in line with this review.
The Jungle Mocs were a totally different experience with the soft sole. the high arch support was prevalent but it lacked support in other areas of my foot. Switching to the Spenco resulted in more support for other problem areas in my feet but although solid support for my arches not quite as high as the sof soles. I am really happy with the Spenco in my Jungle Mocs. a higher arch version would be perfect but i’ll keep wearing my spenco’s for a while. very high quality product that does not squeak like the sof soles do. I should mention, I roughed up the bottoms of the insoles on my cement porch and that helped a lot. I am happy with both quality product now that I found what works best in each of my shoes!

Highly recommended!
I took a chance on these Sof Sole insoles, because they were on clearance and the price was a bargain. I'm so glad I did! They're extremely comfortable, provide outstanding support and reduce my overpronation. They don't completely eliminate it, but neither did my custom-made orthotics.
One word of warning though: they're only suitable for flat shoes. If your shoes have a raised heel (even half an inch), the insole will rock back and forth as you walk (due to the rigid plastic layer on the bottom), which will cause your heels to rub on the back of your shoes.
