Spenco Sheets vs Other Materials

When choosing the right material for insoles, orthotics, or shoe modifications, it’s important to understand how Spenco sheets compare to other commonly used materials. Each has its own benefits, but Spenco is trusted worldwide for its balance of comfort, durability, and shock absorption.

​

Spenco Sheets vs EVA Foam

• Spenco Sheets: Premium EVA-based material designed for cushioning, pressure relief, and long-term wear.

• Standard EVA Foam: Lightweight and low-cost, but often less durable and may compress faster.

👉 Choose Spenco if you want longer-lasting comfort and professional-grade results.

​

Spenco Sheets vs Poron®

• Spenco Sheets: Shock absorbing and versatile, easy to cut and bond into insoles.

• Poron®: Excellent impact protection and softness, but can be more expensive and harder to source.

👉 Spenco provides a great balance between affordability and performance.

​

Spenco Sheets vs Gel Inserts

• Spenco Sheets: Lightweight, supportive, and effective across the whole footbed.

• Gel Inserts: Good for targeted cushioning, but can feel heavy and sometimes shift inside shoes.

👉 Spenco is better for full-foot support and custom projects, while gel is more of a quick fix.

​

Spenco Sheets vs Memory Foam

• Spenco Sheets: Retains structure, provides consistent cushioning, and resists flattening.

• Memory Foam: Comfortable initially but compresses quickly, losing support over time.

👉 For daily wear or athletic use, Spenco sheets last longer and maintain support.
