There is a break-in period with orthotics. I have custom ones and when I first started out on them my physical therapist wanted me to wear them for the 1st day for an hour and not running, etc. in them, just wearing them. Then she wanted me to add an hour every day after that until I was wearing them all day. My foot had to get use to the new position.
