You wear inserts (also known as insoles) by sliding them into your shoes, ensuring they fit snugly against the toe and heel.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Prepare Your Shoes: Remove the existing insoles from your shoes, if possible. This will provide the most room for the new inserts. Some insoles are glued in and difficult to remove; in this case, place the new insert on top of the old one.
-
Position the Insert: Hold the insert with the correct side facing up (usually the fabric-covered side).
-
Slide the Insert In: Gently slide the insert into the shoe, toe-first.
-
Ensure Proper Fit: Make sure the toe of the insert is touching the end of the toe area inside the shoe.
-
Secure the Heel: Push the insert all the way down so that the heel of the insert is touching the heel counter of the shoe. This ensures proper placement and support.
-
Check for Wrinkles or Bunching: Smooth out any wrinkles or bunching for maximum comfort and support. If the insert is too long, you may need to trim it.
-
Test the Fit: Put your shoe on and walk around. If the insert feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit properly, adjust its position. You may need to try different socks or inserts to find the perfect fit.
By following these steps, you can properly wear inserts to improve comfort, support, and overall foot health.
