​

Q: What if my product needs to be adjusted?

A: For the first 6 months after picking up your orthotics we offer free adjustments. After the first 6 months we may charge a small fee for the visit depending on what the adjustment entails. We aren't done until your feet are happy!

​

Q: How long do orthotics last?

A: Orthotics typically last 2-5 years; generally your feet have changed enough about every 5 years that it is wise to be reexamined. Surgeries and injuries can also cause your feet to change.

​

Q: What if I want another set of orthotics?

​

Q: Can orthotics fit into any type of footwear or will I need specific shoes?

A: We make a range of orthotics and can typically accommodate most shoes that come with a removable insert. 

​

Q: My full length orthotics do not fit into my narrow dress shoes/boots, what should I do?

A: We do offer a 3/4 length orthotic which is easier to fit into narrow shoes.

​

Q: I just got my orthotics and my feet feel a little sore; is that normal?

A: It is normal to experience a little bit of discomfort while getting used to the new correction; we refer to the two weeks following your pick up appointment as your break in period. However, if you are blistering please call us at (541) 647-1108 so that we can get you back in for an adjustment. 

​

Q: What is the two week break in period?

A: The two week break in period refers to the two weeks following your pick up appointment. During this period we instruct our patients to slowly build up to wearing the orthotics full time; starting by wearing the orthotics one hour the first day and adding one hour each day until the period is over. We do not recommend getting adjustments during your break in period as you risk removing needed correction that you simply have not yet adapted to. The exception to this is blistering; if you are blistering please call us at (541) 647-1108 so that we can get you back in for an adjustment as soon as possible.
