Heat Mouldable Custom Orthotics Insoles Fitting Instructions

To ensure that you get the most out of your DFO FootSupports Custom Orthotics, PLEASE READ THE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

For Answers to some of the most commonly asked questions, check out the Custom FootSupports FAQ.

1. Pre-heat the oven on bake to exactly 100°C.

2. If possible, remove original insole from your shoe.

Use your old insoles as a guide to trim your new Custom Footbeds to exactly the right size.

WARNING: Do not cut them too short.

3. Place your DFO FootSupports Custom Orthotics in the oven for exactly 1 minute.

4. Once they are out of the oven, immediately put them into your shoes. (Ensure they are sitting flat in your shoes and the toe area of the insole is not bent over).

5. Put your feet in right away, make sure your heels are against the back of the shoes and lace them up. As a guide, when you bend your knees, your knee cap should be directly over top of your second toe.

Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart and your toes pointed directly forward for 2 minutes.

Your body may need to adjust to this new level of support. Therefore, it is recommended that you break in the fit over a three-day period, slowly increasing the time you wear your DFO FootSupports Custom Orthotics each day. If you feel you need an additional adjustment to the fit after three days, repeat steps 1 through to 5.
