Aftercare
The adjustment period
During the first few weeks of wear, your body will gradually become accustomed to this new and proper alignment. Because each persons body is different, the exact period of adjustment varies. It may take 2-6 weeks to get used to the orthotics.
During this adjustment period, you may experience mild discomfort in other parts of the body, such as the knees, hips, or back. This discomfort is temporary, and should disappear as the orthotics help the feet to realign and function more efficiently.
*Adjustments included upon request within 30 days

How to Wear Orthotics
1. Check if your shoe has a removable insert or liner. If so, remove that first before inserting the new Custom orthotic, unless instructed differently.
2. Place your new orthotic inside the shoe, sliding it in until the orthotic sits flat and snug within the shoe.
3. Reach your hand inside the shoe and feel the top cover in the toe area to make sure its lying flat and is not folded.
4. If the orthotic is too long causing the topcover to fold or buckle at the toe area, present to DrFootman retail locations for orthotic trimming instructions/questions.
Wear your orthotics for up to 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the second day, 3 hours the third day, etc. You may wear them more if comfortable or less if necessary.
Shoe construction will affect your orthotics; they function most effectively in closed shoes rather than step-ins. When purchasing new shoes, bring your orthotics to ensure proper fit.
Concerns with my Orthotics
If your orthotics cause pain before you have worn them for the scheduled period, remove them. On the second day, do not attempt to increase the wearing time. Then resume your schedule the following day, increasing the wearing period one hour per day.
We suggest wearing stockings or socks to minimize the possibility of skin irritation. If skin irritation continues, book an appointment and bring in your orthotics for one of our experts to further evaluate the situation.
Occasionally the orthotics may squeak in your shoes. This can be eliminated by lightly dusting baby powder into the shoes. Additionally, you can add surfers wax or spray adhesives to the bottom surface of the orthotics.
