Activre would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your purchase of our Orthotic Insoles
Your eBook will arrive shortly via email. In the meantime, please follow the guidelines below before wearing the insoles.
Guidelines for Wearing our Orthotic Insoles
Our orthotic insoles are designed to support abnormalities in your feet which may affect your legs, knees, hips and lower back. While we can appreciate that feet and footwear comes in a multitude of shapes and sizes our insoles are not custom made. Additionally, transitioning from your footwear manufactured insoles to all orthotic insoles will change how you use your affected muscles and joints. It is important to break in orthotic insoles slowly to avoid additional pain and discomfort.
To get the most out of wearing orthotic insoles, the NHS orthotic guidelines advises you should:
- Check your footwear. Old or worn down footwear can put unbalanced forces on your feet and may contribute to plantar fasciitis and other foot related issues. Footwear should also have a strong and supportive base.
- Remove (discard after step 3) the manufacturing insoles from your footwear.
- Trace and trim your insoles as advised in the eBook. (Tracing produces better results) Check out our YouTube video here for trimming the insoles.
- Wear your orthotic insoles between 30 minutes to 1 hour daily for the first week.
- Increase the time you wear your insoles every day after the first week.
- Reduce your wearing time or have a rest day if you experience soreness.
- Consider treatment in the form of exercises and supplements. The eBook covers both which were relevant to the author’s issues.
Everyone responds differently to orthotics and treatment so this is only a guide. If it takes you twice as long to break them in, that is OK but if you are feeling great, it is important not break them in faster than mentioned above.
