Orthotics

I just got some orthotics for the first time.

 

I was told to wear them for about an hour on the first day (or until they bugged me). Then two hours the next day (or until they bugged me). And so on, until I can wear them all day without discomfort.

 

Honestly, they feel fine. I've been wearing them pretty much all day since I got them. Hopefully this means that I'm just adapting quickly to them and not that I've been given duds (placeborthotics, if you will).

    I've always been told that a properly fitting shoe shouldn't need a 'get used to it' / 'break it in' phase.   But, honestly, I've never had a pair that feels great from day one either lol
    I'd say you got a good pair!!

      So, these are orthotics which serve as a replacement for the insoles of the shoes. Their custom fitted, so it sounds like the should just be fine, but I was told that they could take some getting used to.

    Do you have any injuries going on?

      I did hurt my feet recently. Apparently this is, at least partly, due to the way the I walk and run. So the orthotics are meant to help me with that.

      I hope that they do too. Even more, I hope that they help me to not injure my feet again.
