Questions about everyday use
Where should they be worn?
The inserts are to be used in closed footwear, with a covered heel. They may be used throughout the whole season in e.g. low shoes, sandals, closed-heel pumps, boots or sports footwear. Your shoes should be loose fitting. The inserts should not be used in tight footwear so that the blood circulation is not blocked.
How thick are the inserts?
The inserts are approximately 4 mm thick.
How should the inserts be placed in the shoe?
The printed side up towards the foot, the smooth side down towards the shoe.
Should the feet directly touch the inserts? Should I wear socks?
The inserts should not be worn touching a bare foot directly. Please wear socks with terrycloth soles while wearing the inserts. Do not wear elastic or nylon socks as these fabrics do not absorb sweat.
Can I use one pair of inserts for two different pairs of shoes?
It is not recommended to use the inserts in shoes other than the ones they were initially placed in. Every shoe has a different shape, whereas the inserts adjust to the shape of your foot and shoe. You should make sure especially during autumn and winter seasons not to put on cold outdoor shoes without inserts onto "warm and relaxed" feet which were taken out from house shoes because it is very easy to catch a cold.
How to clean the inserts?
Once a week, wash your inserts with a brush and a mild detergent, e.g. soap and then rinse and dry them.
How long can I use the bio-thermal inserts?
The inserts may be used a few hours a day depending on how you feel. People with blood circulation disorders should use the inserts for slightly longer periods.
However, in case of arterial stenosis, cerebral aneurysm, confirmed atheromatous plaques as well as high blood pressure and high sugar level, it is recommended to start using the inserts for 15 minutes every several hours, and gradually reduce the intermission periods.
What is the prerequisite for achieving effects when using the inserts?
Washing your feet and changing your socks often is an inseparable element and a prerequisite for achieving positive effects in using the inserts. These two conditions improve the removal of excretion products from the body.
