Orthotic Installation Video Text:

Congratulations on your new custom orthotics! Here are just a few tips to help you install them properly in your shoes. First you'll probably need to trim them just a little. Find a good pair of scissors, and a thin magic marker or ball point pen. One at a time, trace the old factory insert and trim as needed. You can also trace your foot. Now carefully trim an even arc around your line. Take your time, its much easier to trim a little more in a second pass. When you're done the footbed should fit snuggly inside your footwear -- not so loose as it moves, and not so tight as it folds or buckles. Now its time to try them out! At this point its very important to not over-do things. We recommend gradually getting used to your footbeds over the span of several days. Start with an hour or two the first day, then put your old factory inserts back in and give your feet a rest. It is quite normal to feel some discomfort in the beginning, but if you break your orthotics in gradually, your feet will soon be very happy. Congratulations again on investing in your foot health and more balanced life -- and thank you for your purchase from FitThotic.com.
