Custom Orthotics Review: What to Expect at 2 Weeks
Custom Orthotics Care
Why a Two-Week Review Matters for Your Custom Orthotics
When you get custom orthotics, wearing them in takes a little time as your feet adapt to new alignment and support.
A two-week follow-up appointment allows your podiatrist to check how your feet are settling on the orthotic shells and make any small adjustments if needed.
Checking the Fit Under Your Foot
During a post-fitting review, a podiatrist evaluates how the orthotic supports your arch and heel in action. By placing the foot directly onto the orthotic shell, we can verify that the contours match your arch height and that the heel cup holds your heel in a neutral position. Checking these contact points helps confirm that pressure is evenly distributed across the foot.
Spotting Wear and Making Fine Adjustments
After two weeks of daily wear, early signs of wear on the top cover or shell can show where your foot applies the most force. If you experience minor rubbing or pressure, your podiatrist can modify the orthotic profile or padding. These small tweaks keep your custom insoles comfortable and functional for the long haul.
