Orthotic Sandal Company
The break-in phase of your new orthotic sandals is essential with regards to
your body responding positively to these biomechanical changes. If you are currently
wearing a pair of custom orthotics with similar correction values, no break-in period is
necessary for this pair of orthotic sandals. Although, similar to all new shoes, it is
recommended you wear them only an hour or two the first day. If this is your first pair of
orthotics or if the correction is different than previous pairs, the following break in-period is
recommended.
Day 1 Wear orthotic sandals for 1-2 hour of walking time or as is comfortable
Day 2 Wear orthotic sandals for 2-3 hours of walking time
Day 3 Wear orthotic sandals for 3-5 hours of walking time
Day 4 and onward: Wear as frequently as you please
Warning: Should you experience adverse reactions or interactions stop
use and contact Orthotic Sandal Company or your prescribing clinician
immediately.
Your biomechanics will improve the more you wear your orthotics. It has been
recommended that you wear your orthotics 80% of your weight bearing time for optimal
changes. Some patients prefer an additional pair of orthotic sandals to wear in the home
to continue to achieve optimal results without wearing outdoor shoes in the home.
The body responds best when aligned correctly, so wearing your orthotic sandals
continuously has the best overall results.
Our sandals are made of high quality EVA and rubber. We have also included a rubber
sole to our thong sandals to increase traction and wear. Most sandals will last 1-2 years
depending on degree of correction, weight of individual and amount of wear. If these
sandals are the primary shoe you wear, you may need to replace them every 6-8 months to
achieve optimum benefits.
