Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon will I feel a difference?

A: Most customers notice a difference within the first 1-2 weeks of regular use. Like any orthotics, there may be a brief break-in period as your foot adjusts to the corrected mechanics.

Q: What types of shoes does it fit?

A: The slim design of the Walk Better Orthotic will fit in most types of shoes — athletic shoes, walking shoes, dress shoes, and casual footwear. The orthotic works best in a shoe that has a back on it. The insert can be worn above or below the shoe's insole.

Q: What conditions does it help?

A: Because this orthotic impacts how you walk and the function of your foot, it is excellent at addressing heel pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, neuromas, bunions, hammer toes, and low back pain caused by a poor walking pattern.

Q: How is this different from custom orthotics?

A: The Walk Better Orthotic provides superior correction of foot mechanics compared to many custom orthotics — and at a fraction of the cost. Custom orthotics typically range from $400 to over $1,000 per pair.

Q: What if they do not work for me?

A: If you purchased the incorrect size, we are happy to exchange the product (minus additional shipping costs). If within 30 days you decide the product is not for you, you may return it for a refund minus a restocking fee and shipping fees.

Q: What are the break-in instructions?

A: Day 1: Wear for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Day 2: Up to 2 hours daily. Day 3: Up to 3 hours daily. Day 4: Up to 4 hours daily. Day 5: Up to 5 hours daily. This is a general guideline — individual responses vary.
