When you are using new inserts, whether Dr. Sholl’s or any other brand’s, follow these steps for the best fit and care:
Separate your new inserts for the right and left foot.
Remove the current inserts from your shoes.
Take the new inserts and cut them according to the length of the shoe.
You can also use your current inserts — if they are the right fit — to guide the length and shape of the cut.
Place the new inserts gel- or foam-side down in the shoes.
And you’re done.
It’s important to mention here that all prefabricated inserts must be replaced every 6 months or when they start showing signs of daily wear.
If you are using custom orthotic inserts, talk to your podiatrist or special orthotics doctor about their care management.
