5-Steps to Breaking in Your New Orthotics

Image
Now that you have received your NEW CUSTOM ORTHOTIC INSOLES here’s what you need to know:   STEP 1 – Remove the manufactures insole from your shoe and replace it with your new custom orthotic. If your shoe does not have a removable insole, place the custom orthotic in your shoe as close to the heel as possible. Your new orthotics should fit snugly and feel comfortable. If you find they are bunching at the toe, don't worry, they can be easily trimmed. STEP 2 - A full-length custom orthotic insole extends from your heel to your toe. If you find your insoles are to long, follow these 5 easy steps to get the perfect fit! * Remove the existing orthotic from your shoe. * Place the old insole on top of the new insole, lining up both the heel and inside edge. * Trace the outline of the old insole onto the new insole with a pen or marker. * Trim along the outside of your traced line. * Reinsert the insole and see how it feels. If there’s still extra material – repeat steps 1
