Start Gradually
If your child is new to orthotics, begin with shorter wear periods and gradually increase the duration. For example, start with wearing in shoes for 1-2 hours in a day, then 2-3 hours the next day, gradually increasing until your child can wear their Trax for the full day.
Daily Use
Most children will benefit from wearing their orthotics throughout the day, especially during activities that put stress on the feet, such as running, jumping, or standing for long periods.
Initial Adjustment Period
It's normal to experience an adjustment period during the first few days of wearing orthotics. Correct alignment can be difficult to become accustomed to for some children, some children can wear Trax all day without a gradual Increase. Be patient with the process.

Inspect
Check your child’s Trax daily for any signs of wear, tear, or damage.
Clean
Trax generally don’t need much cleaning. If needed, gently clean Trax with mild soap and water, then air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Check Fit
Regularly assess if Trax still fit comfortably. As your child's feet grow, you may need to replace them with the next size.

Rigid Heel
This feature works with Trax to maintain the alignment of the foot and prevent excessive motion.
Adequate Depth
The shoe should be deep enough to accommodate the orthotics without causing discomfort or irritation.
Adequate Toe Box
The shoe should be wide enough for the toes to have ample room allowing for natural forefoot movement within the shoe.
