Podiatrists prescribe orthotics to treat a variety of foot issues such as: plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, and foot ulcers. \u00a0Inserts and orthotics have been shown in clinical research to decrease foot pain and to improve foot function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let&#8217;s be honest though, shoe inserts come with their own set of problems. \u00a0It is natural that overtime your orthotics will smell over time if you do not make an effort to keep them smelling fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tips for insert\/ orthotic care:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try not to get to them too wet (especially foam or cloth covered ones)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If wetness occurs remove from shoes immediately<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned that they have come in contact with water, pat them dry with a towel to remove and surface moisture and leave them in a room with good ventilation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lay orthotics flat to dry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allow ample drying time, inserts can need up to several days depending on what material they are made of<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you leave them in your shoes to dry it may result in an insert or orthotic that is less able to perform<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cleaning and washing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water to wash your inserts. Be sure not to let them absorb too much water by soaking them. If you have a stain that is difficult to remove it is recommended that you scrub just that area with a soft bristle toothbrush to spot-treat your orthotic. After giving them a good rinse to remove excess dirt and cleaning products allow them to dry completely. Never machine wash or dry your inserts, this will destroy the integrity of their structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Replacement:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The expected lifetime of an insert depends on how much you use and wear yours. Every three to nine months you should be thinking about getting new insoles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoe inserts and orthotics can provide you with many benefits such as cushioning your step, supporting your arches, and alleviating foot and leg pain.
