FAQ

How to Wear

Our orthotic insoles can be placed directly on top of the factory soft insole inside of nearly any closed-toe shoe or boot.

In rare cases, removing the factory insole may be necessary to prevent the shoe from being too tight on your foot.

Our orthotics are flattened on the bottom to eliminate heel lift.

We do not recommend placing them over aftermarket soft insoles with arch support such as the brand name products you find in stores. These are only compatible with the insoles that came in your shoes.

Breaking-in

1. Place them on top or underneath the factory foam insole in your shoes, whichever your prefer.

2. Wear them intermittently while your feet adjust to the contour and support—the goal is to ramp up slowly to where they feel good in your shoes full time.

3. Listen to you body—if they ever become uncomfortable take them out and take a break. You'll know if you they're not right for you and you can return them anytime within 30 days. If an edge rubs your foot add a piece of moleskin over that edge area.

Sizing

Order to your FOOT SIZE, not your shoe size. An accurate measurement can be taken from any shoe store near you.

Foot Medic insoles come in seven sizes to accommodate US shoe sizes ranging from Women's 5.5 to Men's 13.5. Not designed for feet wider than 4E.

The Origin Story

Our story began with Ricky Wyatt, a Navy veteran and Certified Pedorthist, inspired by his family's shoe repair shop, 'Wyatt & Dad Shoe Repair.' Ricky’s talent for modifying shoes to meet medical needs led him to create our first insert, the 'Foot Control and Support Systems' (FCSS), which he refined over years of research and customer feedback.

Two decades later, Ricky’s son Nick Wyatt and friend Drew Everett expanded the business online, rebranding FCSS to 'Foot Medic' in 2019. The name reflects our mission: to heal and support like a battlefield medic.

Proudly made in Kokomo, Indiana, Foot Medic inserts continue this legacy, offering expert care and unmatched support for your feet—one step at a time.
