How Insoles for Baseball Cleats Improve Your Performance
What Makes CURREX® CLEATPRO™ Insoles the Best for Baseball
From nailing a consistent and powerful pitch to digging in at home plate, all baseball players need a solid foundation to perform their best. While most cleats have the right features for the sport, they also lack important qualities like internal traction and an optimized fit.
Want to boost your performance on the field and avoid injuries? Find out how putting CURREX CLEATPRO insoles in your baseball cleats can deliver game-changing results like a better fit and greater stability.
Should you put insoles in your cleats?
Most baseball cleats have removeable sock liners made of thin foam with no structure. These liners or inserts help cushion the feet and absorb the impact when your foot hits the ground to reduce fatigue. Players can replace their factory inserts with supportive insoles for cleats.
Cleat insoles have a low profile that’s made to fit tight shoes and cleated footwear. Players looking to add an edge to their game and relieve discomfort will often put insoles in their cleats for better shock absorption, more arch support, and to reduce their risk of injury.
The best insoles for cleats deliver all the same benefits without compromising the fit of the shoe itself. CURREX CLEATPRO insoles improve the fit of your cleats without interfering with your game, whether you play baseball, softball, or another field sport.
Why Your Baseball Cleats Aren’t Enough
Baseball cleats protect your feet and help with traction and stability on the field. Features like lightweight outsoles, durable uppers, heel counters, and toe studs support dynamic changes in movement like quick stops and starts, sliding, and pivoting.
Most baseball cleats do not biomechanically support the structure of your feet, nor do they offer internal traction. Traction from inside the shoe comes from the insole to prevent unwanted movement, so you can have more control and stability. Without it, you risk potential injury and poor performance.
4 Ways CURREX Insoles for Cleats Boost Performance
You can optimize your cleats with better support and grip using insoles like CURREX CLEATPRO for baseball. Our dynamic arch profile gives you the ability to customize baseball cleats by arch type while anti-slip grip boosts traction inside the shoe for full control.
Great for baseball turf cleats, metal cleats, cleats for softball, and youth baseball cleats, here are four ways CURREX insoles can benefit players of all ages and skill levels with better performance and fewer injuries:
1. Improve Traction
Cleats generate traction outside the shoe using studs or spikes. The toe stud, also the main difference between baseball and soccer cleats, creates grip for quick stops and sprinting. However, it does not prevent slipping within the shoe.
CURREX insoles with NEO Touch Super Grip provide traction inside the cleat for consistent foot-to-cleat contact and zero unwanted movement, benefiting players like:
- Pitchers who generate momentum in their windup, relying on stable contact with the mound. Any slip or movement within the cleats can change the pitch trajectory.
- Batters as they create force in their swing without stepping forward. A strong stance requires solid balance on the ground.
- Field players making quick directional changes when running to catch a ball. Traction is crucial for good footwork and responsive movement.
- Youth baseball players who are practicing the mechanics of the game. Traction secures their movement as they get used to the sport and their cleats.
2. Increase Stability
Instability caused by muscle imbalances in the feet and lower body can decrease power and efficiency. CURREX sports insoles with dynamic arch support keep the foot in its optimal biomechanical position to engage the muscles of foot, reduce excess motion, and improve stability.
CURREX insoles hug your foot and heel to maintain complete foot-to-cleat-to-ground contact for increased stability when you move. With a stable foundation, players can perform more consistently.
3. Correct Issues with Fit
Cleats that don’t support or fit your foot structure can cause pain and discomfort, which leads to poor performance. Insoles with arch support for cleats transfer pressure evenly across the foot for less strain and fatigue.
With support for low, medium and high arches, CURREX CLEATPRO insoles deliver the feel and performance of customizable baseball cleats. Our Dynamic Arch Technology™ equips you with the best support for your feet by creating a perfect fit, wrap and lock in your cleats.
4. Reduce Risk of Injury & Pain
Common injuries in baseball include shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, and ball of foot pain. Some athletes wear special insoles with metatarsal pads to help ease the discomfort. Performance insoles like CURREX CLEATPRO help reduce a player’s risk of injury and foot pain with added support, cushioning and stability.
CURREX insoles optimize the natural movement of your feet and reduce pressure, which helps fight fatigue and prevent injuries caused by instability or overuse. The added cushioning absorbs shock to reduce stress on your joints and returns that energy to the muscles of the feet for greater efficiency and propulsion.
How can I make my baseball cleats more comfortable?
Baseball cleats make your feet hurt when they don’t fit properly. Proper fitting cleats should have a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the cleat. You can make your softball or baseball cleats more comfortable by adding CURREX CLEATPRO insoles.
If your cleats are brand new, break them in before training with the following steps:
- Place your cleats in warm water, only submerging the outside.
- Allow them to soak for about 30 minutes.
- Place your insoles inside and put on a pair of socks, then wear your cleats around the house for up to an hour. Your cleats should mold nicely to your foot shape and feel more comfortable.

The right pair of cleats are critical for players who want to be comfortable, perform well, and prevent injuries on the field. For maximum power, support, and stability, count on CURREX CLEATPRO insoles to optimize the fit and feel of your baseball cleats.
