To ensure your custom orthotics fit perfectly into your shoes, follow these simple trimming instructions:

1. Gather Materials: You will need your custom orthotics, the stock shoe inserts, a pen or marker, and a pair of sharp scissors.

2. Remove Stock Inserts: Take the stock inserts out of your shoes. These will be used as a template for trimming your custom orthotics.

3. Align Inserts:

• Place your custom orthotic on the flat surface, with the soft portion facing up.

• Lay the stock shoe insert directly on top of the custom orthotic. Ensure that the heels and arches are aligned correctly.

4. Trace the Shape:

• Using a pen or marker, trace the outline of the stock insert onto the custom orthotic. Focus particularly on the toe area where trimming is needed.

5. Trim the Soft Portion:

• Carefully trim along the traced line on the custom orthotic using sharp scissors. Trim only the soft portion around the toes.

• Make small, precise cuts to avoid over-trimming. You can always trim more if needed, but you cannot add material back once it’s cut.

6. Check the Fit:

• Insert the trimmed custom orthotic into your shoe.

• Ensure that it lies flat and fits snugly without curling or bunching.

• If necessary, make minor adjustments by trimming small additional pieces to achieve the perfect fit.

7. Final Adjustments:

• Repeat the process for the other shoe.

• Walk around briefly to ensure comfort and proper fit. Make sure there are no pressure points or discomfort.

Tips:

• Patience: Take your time to ensure precision. Rushing might lead to mistakes and an improper fit.

• Sharp Scissors: Use a good pair of scissors to make clean cuts.

• Comfort Check: After fitting, walk around in your shoes to ensure the custom orthotics are comfortable.

By following these instructions, you can customize your orthotics to fit your shoes perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and support.

Break in period: It may take 2 weeks to fully become accustomed to your orthotics. It is recommended to wear your orthotics 2 hours the first day and increase time using orthotics by 2 hours everyday until you can use them all day
