New Shoe Break-In Period

• Wear your shoes at home on a carpeted surface for one hour the first day.
  
  
• Remove your shoes and check your feet for any sores or irritations. Check all areas of your feet including your toes, the tops, bottoms, the sides of your feet, and the back of your heels, etc. if you notice any red spots or other signs of irritation, or if the shoe does not fit properly, stop wearing your shoes immediately. Call your doctor and make an appointment to have the fit of your shoes checked. You must bring the shoes back in the original box.
  
  
• If the shoes fit properly, increase your wearing time to two hours the second day and three hours on the third day. After each day check you feet again for sores or irritations.
  
  
• If you are satisfied with the fit of the shoes after wearing them for three day you can begin wearing them outside. Remember, the shoes can only be returned if they are still in new condition and in the original box.
  
  
• Enjoy your new shoes and inserts
