​Orthotics need to be broken in slowly by wearing them for an hour each day increasing, i.e. 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the next day etc. If they are still not comfortable after wearing them for a few hours then start the process again but start by wearing them for 30 mins increasing. If you are going to use them for sports activities, do not wear them during sport until your have worn them for about a week of walking around in them for a few hours each day. Please contact us if you are having any problems with the orthotics. 

 

If your Orthotics are full length/extend to the toes, you will most likely have to take out the insole which comes with the shoe and replace it with the Orthotic, especially if you are going to wear them in trainers. If your Orthotic length comes to behind the toes (ie is a half orthotic) you can place the Orthotic on top of the insole in the shoe. 

 

If you have a full length Orthotic you may have to trim the top cover on the Orthotic to fit them in your shoes.
