How to Get One's Orthotics to Stop Squeaking
Instructions
-
-
1
Make sure you get an orthotic that is properly fitted. See a podiatrist or orthopaedist about your foot problems. They can write the proper prescription for your orthotic.
-
2
Remove the orthotic that is squeaking from your shoe.
-
3
Sprinkle talcum powder on the front edge of the orthotic.
-
4
Insert the orthotic back into your shoe and walk. If the squeaking is gone, great. If not, go to Step 5.
-
5
Remove the orthotic again, and rough it up a bit by rubbing it with medium coarse sandpaper. Don't sand too much, as this can change the structural integrity of the orthotic, especially if it's made of carbon graphite, which cracks easily. It can also void your warranty.
-
6
Check with your doctor if the squeaking persists. He can try adding a thin strip of rough material to the bottom of the orthotic.
