9 Insole Care and Cleaning
Extra care must be taken when cleaning the insoles.
•Clean with isopropyl alcohol or disinfectant wipes.
•Dampen the surfaces and do not allow solution into the vent holes.
Each insole has 5 vent holes which must remain open and free of any debris. The insoles are
ambidextrous and can be placed with the vent holes facing up or down.
