• Detach the inlay from the ankle strap by pressing the button in the middle of
the quick-acting closure.
• Apply the ankle strap with the narrow Velcro strip at the botttom and the
quickacting closure at the front. In doing this place the ankle strap above the
widest part of the ankle. Fasten the ankle strap tightly, but do not constrict the
ankle
(Figure B) .
• Place the inlay between the tongue and the shoelaces. Then pull the elastic
strap between the two lace lines
(Figure C) . By pulling the inlay further in the
direction of the front of the foot more support is provided when raising the
foot. Make sure the elastic strap is also pulled between the lace lines further
down the foot.
