Frequently Asked Questions - Refurbish & Recover
How long does it take to receive my recovered or refurbished custom orthotics and shoe inserts?
Once an order is placed, we email you a prepaid return label to send us your custom shoe inserts that need a new top cover. Once we receive them at our Houston, Texas lab, our experts will recover and refurbish your orthotics and ship them back to you within 7-10 business days.
How long will my custom orthotics and shoe inserts last before needing a refurbish?
Bilt Labs custom orthotics typically last a minimum of 2-3 years. The orthotics themselves (plastic base) can and do last longer in most cases, however, most specialists recommend a remold after this timeframe as our feet continually change.
Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to how long top cover material on custom orthotics should last. It depends on a variety of factors, including:
- User activity level: High-impact activities like running and jumping will inevitably wear down the top covers faster than low-impact activities like walking or casual everyday use.
- Material quality: Different materials have different lifespans. Some higher-quality, more durable materials, like leather or certain types of foams, might last longer than simpler fabrics.
- Footwear compatibility: Certain shoes can rub against the top covers more than others, accelerating wear.
- Individual factors: Everyone's feet are different, and individual sweat and body chemistry can also contribute to material breakdown.
However, as a general guideline:
- For moderately active users: Top covers could last anywhere from 6 months to a year.
- For highly active users: You might need to replace them every 3-6 months.
- For low-impact use: Your top covers could last up to 1-2 years.
Remember: Even within these ranges, it's important to pay attention to your own orthotics. Look for signs of wear and tear such as thinning, ripping, or excessive pilling. If the top covers are no longer providing enough cushion or comfort, it's time to replace them.
Do you accept FSA/HSA for refurbishing custom insoles?
Yes, we are approved to accept FSA/HSA cards directly at checkout for our recover and refurbish services. We can also provide a detailed invoice for your records. We do not bill health insurance directly.
Why should I refurbish or recover my custom shoe inserts?
Custom orthotics and shoe inserts endure daily wear and tear. While the medical-grade hard shell base provides long-lasting structural support, the soft top cover padding naturally wears down over time.
The top covers are important to the complete comfort of the insert. Once the padding thins out, your inserts lose their premium comfort and might not feel as good as when they were new.
Instead of buying a brand new pair, you can simply replace the top covers. Recover the existing shell, and your custom inserts will feel brand new again at a fraction of the cost!
