Any update on when the Sparx will go on sale in Europe? I'm assuming no sooner than mid 2018, maybe even 2019.

Thank you.

Thanks Steve I realise these things are dependent on people outside of your control, but do you have a handle of whether or not you expect to start supplying UK/European customers this year, or next year, or the year after?

Hello Steve Do you have any idea when the Sparx will be available in the UK, and at what sort of price point? As I understand it you do not ship direct from the States, but you will have a UK distributer.

My skates get very wet inside, irrespective of the insoles used. All I do is pull out the speed plates when I get home, and they dry out just fine. As someone else said, just push on the opposite side to the arch support, and then slip a finger under the arch suport, and pull the insole out, easy peasy. I have not noticed sweat unduly collecting beneath the speed plate. I skate for an hour or two in public skating sessions, and I am learning to play hockey, so moisture build up might be more of an issue to more serious players. The problem I have is that I use the PowerFoot inserts. They are great, but they soak up sweat and get very very wet. They take ages to dry out. This is a serious flaw IMO.

A bit of an old thread but I'd never skate without these insoles. I bought mine a month ago. I have dodgy knees, and bought them to support my arches. I'd tried Yellow Superfeet but they gave me lace bite as they lift the foot up and pull the toes back. Last week I forgot to put the Speed Plates in my skates before leaving home for the rink and the difference was dramatic, I had far less control on the ice, and felt decidedly less at ease. I can imagine some people would prefer Superfeet, presumably they have deeper skates (or shallower feet) so the extra depth of the Superfeet would not be an issue. Similarly some people will prefer Speed Plates. I'm not sure it has been mentioned here, but Superfeet will refund your money if you do not get on with them. I took mine back to the local sports shop (UK based) and they refunded me, no questions asked, all I needed was proof of purchase.
