The lifespan of your WalkFit orthotics will depend on how often you use them and during which activities. Some proponents claim they last for several years or more. Regardless, it is not advisable to wear insoles or orthotics that are worn out, since this can cause damage to the feet.

How to Use a Walker

1. Push up from the armrest of the chair or from the bed to a standing position.
2. Place a firm grip on both sides of the walker with your hands.
3. Move the walker forward a short distance.
4. Step forward with your injured or weaker leg first, putting weight on the palms of your hands.

It may take from three to four weeks before you can wear them comfortably all day. Avoid running or other intense activities with the orthotics until your feet have had an opportunity to adjust to the new foot posture and you can wear them 8 hours a day.

For example, if you are planning to use your orthotics primarily for sports or a specific activity, it may be most beneficial to wear them for shorter periods. In contrast, if you've been diagnosed with an issue like flat feet that affects you all the time, it may be recommended to wear them all the time.

It is more important to wear your insoles when your feet will be working hard, standing for long periods, or exercising. It is less important to wear them when you are sitting for an extended time, like at your desk or in front of the TV.

around 2-3 years Unfortunately, it isn't always so easy to determine that point. While a typical custom orthotic might last around 2-3 years on average, not every case is a typical one. Some people need theirs replaced every year, while others can get 5 years or more (occasionally much more) of use out of theirs.
