Custom running orthotics improve performance by moderating pronation and supporting efficient toe-off mechanics. Our AI assessment determines optimal arch height (typically 22-24mm) and biomechanical corrections, with gradual break-in protocols to prevent running injuries while enhancing comfort and efficiency.
Start with 2-3 days of walking, then begin with 20-30% of normal mileage. Increase by 10% weekly. Full adaptation takes 3-4 weeks with proper gradual introduction.
Most runners adapt within 2-3 weeks without pace changes. Orthotics can improve efficiency by optimizing foot mechanics. Many report feeling more stable and efficient once adapted.
Choose shoes with removable insoles and adequate depth. Neutral trainers work well as they don't conflict with your custom biomechanical corrections. Avoid heavily built-up arch support. See our orthotic comparison guide for more details.
Custom orthotics designed for runners. Improve efficiency, reduce injury risk, and run pain-free with proper biomechanical support.
Running orthotics work by optimizing foot mechanics during each step of your gait cycle. They help control excessive motion, improve energy return, and reduce stress on vulnerable structures.
Pain worsens, you develop numbness or hot spots, or your running form feels significantly different after 2-3 weeks of gradual adaptation.
The break-in period for running orthotics requires patience and gradual progression. Your body needs time to adapt to the new mechanics while maintaining training consistency.
