Step 1: Check If Your Current Insoles Are Glued or Removable

To use VKTRY Insoles, you must remove the existing insoles in your shoes. Most shoes come with removable, generic insoles, but some are glued in.

If your insoles are glued in, plan ahead before removing them. Tearing out glued-in insoles usually destroys them, which is fine since you need to replace them with VKTRY Insoles. However, if you do this too close to a game without enough time to break in your VKs, you’ll be stuck with VKs that aren’t fully adjusted and no way to put your old insoles back in. To avoid this, make sure you have a few consecutive training days before your next game so that by the time you compete, your VKTRY Insoles are fully broken in and ready to go.

Step 2: Remove Your Current Insoles

• Once you have time to break in VKTRY Insoles, remove the existing insoles from your shoes.

Step 3: Insert VKTRY Insoles

• Place VKTRY Insoles into your shoes, ensuring they lay flat with the heel positioned snugly against the back of the shoe.

• Press them down so they sit securely in place.

• Do not trim VKTRY Insoles—they are custom-sized for your shoe. If they don’t fit, contact us for a size exchange.

Step 4: Follow the Break-In Period

• Your body needs time to adjust to the carbon fiber baseplate and increased energy return.

• Break-In Schedule:

• Day 1-2: Wear for 30-60 minutes during light activity.

• Day 3-4: Wear for a full practice or extended movement.

• Day 5+: Fully integrated into training & competition.

• If discomfort continues beyond the break-in period, contact us at info@vktry.com for support.

Step 5: Care & Maintenance

• Keep them dry—if they get wet, remove them from your shoes to air dry.

• Avoid bending or folding them.

• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
