To use a heel wedge, follow these steps:
1. Clean the inside of your shoe
Ensure that the inside of your shoe is clean and free from any debris or dirt.
2. Identify the correct placement
Determine the area of your shoe where the heel wedge should be placed. Typically, it is positioned in the back of the shoe, under the heel area.
3. Insert the heel wedge
Carefully insert the heel wedge into the desired position in your shoe. Make sure it is aligned properly and sits securely.
4. Test the fit
Put on your shoe and walk around to test the fit and comfort. The heel wedge should provide support and cushioning to your heel, improving stability and reducing discomfort.
5. Adjust if necessary
If the heel wedge feels uncomfortable or does not provide the desired level of support, you can try repositioning it or using a different size wedge. Experiment with different placements until you find the most comfortable position.
6. Repeat for the other shoe
If needed, repeat the same steps for the other shoe to ensure both feet are properly supported.
It’s important to note that the specific instructions for using heel wedges may vary depending on the type and brand of the wedge. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines or consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
