So, you’ve gotten your first pair of orthotics, but you’ve heard stories that they’re hard to get used to. Don’t despair! Good orthotics will go a long way in helping to reduce the pain you experience due to a foot injury. Custom orthotics should be a comfortable fit within your shoes, and while it may take a week or two to get used to them, you shouldn’t be burdened by rubbing or feel any extra pressure or pain. Tips for first-time wearers:
  • Remove other inserts you may have in your shoes.
  • Wash your custom orthotics with soap and water.
  • Don’t throw them in the dryer. Simply lay them flat to dry.
