been wearing my heel raise insert for a few days and and the start it was a buit weird. slowly getting used to it now though. this is to correct the difference in leg length (1cm).
one question i'm sure my podiatrist answered but i cant for the life of me remember the answer. should i wear them under or over the insoles. or does it matter either way.
so far i've been wearing them under.
also, as i've only got the one, i've only been wearing them in my running shoes around the house so maybe 3 or 4 hrs a day max. i'm wondering if i should i swap them between all my shoes so that i'm always wearing them. should i? if so i think i'll get 3 or 4 to save the hassle of keeping removing and inserting.

If I can tack a question on, I've had mine for three days (made my own before!) but I'm racing tomorrow - 10 miles. Should I whip the orthoses out and go back to what I was doing before, or would I be fairly safe to accelerate the breaking-in process?
i would leave the insole in as you will lose a small amount of cushioning, it may not seem alot but it makes the differnce!
i don't personally wear them but i work very closely with a podiatrist.
Good Luck.

I have just one pair. They would be expensive for me to buy so I've never considered different orthotics for different shoes.

Swerve - When introducing my orthotics was told not run in them for 2 weeks!!! It took a good week for my muscles to stop aching from just wearing them while walking.
They were only £15 so i think i'll get another couple ordered so that i can leave them in my work shoes.
I was also told no running for a couple of weeks Swerve. Hard isn't it. Week and a half to go....
