The footbeds in the FAT range is for those seeking maximum cushioning in combination with the unique dynamic support Icebug Insoles provides. Icebug Insoles FAT fits most shoes with removable insole. Icebug Insoles FAT is 5 mm high. The footbed is available in three different variants, Low, Medium and High, to fit various arch heights.
Adaption
The Icebug sole corrects the structure of the foot. It often feels awkward at first as muscles and tendons that have been inactive for a long period now start working again. We therefore recommend a gradual habituation, use the sole one or a few hours per day to begin with and gradually increase the use. Once you have familiarized yourself with the Icebug sole you can use it for sporting activities as well as work and leisure.
Trimming
- Place your shoe’s original insole on top of the Icebug sole and draw a line for the heel.
- Draw the outline of the entire sole. Make sure the line and the distance from the center on both sides of the Icebug insole is the same length.
- Cut off excess material with scissors. The area that needs to be trimmed is usually the anterior, the posterior is where the Icebug Insoles ”climbs” the shoe and that part often fits perfectly. Trim carefully, it is better to cut off many small pieces.
- Try the Icebug sole in your shoe.
- Trim off more if necessary and try again. Continue until the sole fit in the shoe.
