Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotics. These 3/4 length arch support shoe inserts are designed to provide relief from foot, knee, lower back, heel, plantar fasciitis, hip, and ankle pain by offering customized support based on your arch type, body weight, and shoe size.
Setup and Arch Type Determination
To ensure optimal comfort and pain relief, it is crucial to determine your correct arch type and select the appropriate Custom Fit Orthotics.
Determining Your Arch Type (Wet Test)
The wet test is a simple method to identify your arch type:
- Wet Your Foot: Lightly wet one of your feet.
- Step on Paper: Step onto a piece of brown paper or a similar surface that will show a clear footprint.
- Observe Your Footprint: Compare your footprint to the examples below to determine if you have a low arch (flat feet), standard arch, or high arch.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to correctly insert and use your Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotics:
- Slide Inserts into Shoes: Slide your Custom Fit 3/4 length insert into your shoe, ensuring the fabric side is facing up.
- Match Left and Right: Place the insert marked 'Left' into your left shoe and the insert marked 'Right' into your right shoe.
- Position Heel Cushion: Position the heel cushion of each insert against the back of the corresponding shoe.
These 3/4 length orthotic inserts are designed to slip easily into most shoes without requiring trimming. They are ideal for footwear where the original insole cannot be removed. You can switch them between shoes with ease for consistent comfort.

Adaptation Period
It is normal for your feet to feel slightly snug during the first few days of wearing new inserts. Please allow up to 1 week for your feet to adapt to the new support provided by the orthotics.
Maintenance
Replacement Schedule
We recommend replacing your Custom Fit Orthotics every 6-12 months or at the first signs of wear to maintain optimal support and pain relief.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean your orthotics, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into your shoes. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Troubleshooting
- Initial Discomfort: If your feet feel a little snug or experience minor discomfort during the first few days, this is normal. Continue wearing the inserts to allow your feet to adapt.
- Persistent Pain: If pain persists or worsens after the adaptation period, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Improper Fit: Ensure you have correctly determined your arch type, shoe size, and weight range. Re-evaluate your fit if you suspect the orthotics are not providing adequate support.
