3.3 The Proper Shoe
The orthotist adjusts your orthosis when you try it on and make your first steps. Since you have to get used to
your new orthosis, the adjusted orthosis should be regularly checked in the first weeks and, if necessary, newly
adapted to your need for safety. The orthosis is adjusted to the pair of shoes (shoe pitch) with which you start
walking with your orthosis. If you want to wear other shoes, your orthotist must ensure that the orthosis is
also adjusted to these shoes.
