Custom Orthotic Break-In
Quick Answer: Custom orthotic break-in takes 2-4 weeks. Start with 1-2 hours daily, increasing by 1-2 hours per day. Expect mild aches in arches and calves initially. Persistent severe pain warrants follow-up adjustment.
Common Adjustments
Heel cup too tight, arch too high, length issues. We adjust at no charge during break-in. Most patients adapt fully within 4 weeks.
