2) Remove the insoles from the shoes and follow the directions for cleaning and care (Cleaning
and Care).
3) Check your feet for pressure points or other injuries.
5.3 Selecting shoes
Your insoles function only in conjunction with suitable shoes. Your certified orthotist has made
your insoles for use with a suitable pair of shoes that you brought to the fitting.
Please observe the following information for purchasing new shoes that must be suitable for
insoles.
General requirements
The shoes must have sufficient volume to accommodate your feet with the insoles. A removable
insole helps increase the volume. The volume of the shoes should be adjustable (for example with
shoe laces or hook and loop closures) to ensure a good fit.
The heel counter must be high enough to prevent the heel from slipping out of the shoe.
Your insoles were made for the effective heel height of the shoes you brought to the fitting (see
page 7). When buying new shoes, be sure that they have the same effective heel height. If you
have any more questions about this, please talk to your certified orthotist.
Special requirements
Custom-made shoes:
Some insoles have special requirements that only custom-made shoes
can meet. Consult your certified orthotist in such a case.
Safety shoes:
The use of orthopaedic insoles in safety shoes is allowed only if the insoles were
made specifically for this purpose and are approved. Please talk to your certified orthotist if you
want to use your insoles in safety shoes.
6 Cleaning
1) Take your insoles out of your shoes after every use and air them in a dry location.
NOTICE! Do not place your insoles on a heater to dry. This can lead to damage to the
material and changes of the fit.
2) Wipe soiled insoles with a damp cloth to clean them.
3) If your insoles have come in contact with body secretions (e.g. if you have open blisters), dis
infect them with an alcohol-free, colourless disinfectant.
