(Newswire.net — April 22, 2016) San Diego, California — Custom orthotic inserts offer wearers a means of correcting or supporting a variety of foot issues, and the experts at Doctors Orthotics know that these inserts require a bit of break-in for maximum performance. The orthotic inserts also benefit from regular care, and so the company has recently offered a number of tips to get the most out of these custom-fabricated shoe inserts. If the orthotics get wet, they should be removed from the shoes and allowed to air dry. “The inserts may need to be cleaned periodically,” says Dr. Saul Goldston, the company founder. “The best way to clean them is to gently wipe the top surfaces with a mild soap and water solution.” The custom-crafted orthotic inserts should not be immersed in water. Although the inserts are designed to last several years, they may need repair or the top cover replacement. Customers are urged to contact the company for more information about these services.

New orthotic inserts may require an adjustment and break-in period, and can take some time for wearers to get used to. For the break-in, it is ideal to use a new pair of shoes, as the shoe’s condition and fit are crucial for the performance of the inserts. Customers can start the break-in process by wearing the inserts for two hours on the first day, and extending that time by one hour each successive day. Based on the company’s extensive experiences, it may take up to four weeks of time before users can comfortably wear the inserts for a full day. If any discomfort in the feet, ankles, or knees is felt, customers should reduce the wear time by one hour each day until the discomfort disappears, then increase the wear time as with the normal break-in period. “Some wearers, especially runners, may develop hot spots behind the big toe,” adds Dr. Goldston. “Remove the inserts before a blister forms, and reduce wear by one hour per day.” Another good tip is to lubricate that area until the skin has had a chance to thicken and become used to the custom-made Doctors Orthotic inserts.
