Why is the break-in period so important? How long do they take to break-in to my feet?

Due to the design and material of our Z-liners, we recommend giving them a good wear for about 5-7 days. This allows enough time for your feet to start setting in and experiencing the benefits that our insoles provide. Some stiffness in the beginning is perfectly fine and expected, as your feet begin to break in to our footbeds. During this time, support and comfort will further be increased throughout your entire foot.

Our material will form to your feet while giving extra stability, especially in the arch region. Being that you’re using them for flat feet, they may take a few days to adjust to as you may feel increased pressure in the arch region.

Do they have arch support?

Yes! Arch support is one of the most important and effective parts. We use a stiffer grade of our material in the arch region.

During the break-in period, our material will begin adjusting to your foot shape, weight and pressure points. The support is increased even more, once they fully set in.
