Periodically the top covers need to be refurbished.

Getting a duplicate pair of Orthotics when getting your original pair refurbished is a good idea. This allows you to send a pair in for refurbishing without going without a pair.
Many customers like various types of orthotics for the various types of shoes they wear.
How we refurbish a pair of orthotics;
- Make a paper pattern of the insole ( for trimming new insole later )
- Remove old top cover by hand as much as possible
- Machine wire brush surface of orthotics removing all old glue and material
- Wipe with alcohol to prepare surface for new glue
- cut out a 4"x12" piece of foam and rough up both surfaces
- position orthotic allowing for extension to toes.
- Glue orthotic surface and foam surface with solvent based contact cement.
- Adhere orthotic to foam cover.
- Use the paper pattern made earlier trim to fit
Depending on your needs sometime it is necessary to refurbish your Orthotics twice a year. It is nice to have fresh "Cush"
