How to use AVOS
Quick Start Guide
- AVOS come with 3 insert sets: Levels 1, 2, and 3 (Level 3 is the highest intensity).
- Start with Level 1 or 2, especially if you have flat or sensitive feet.
- Wear them for just 5–15 minutes to feel the benefit — no need to wear them all day.
- Inserts may feel firm at first, but they soften with use. Many users find their sensitivity decreases as their feet adapt and flexibility improves.
- It’s common to switch between insert sizes day to day, depending on how your feet feel.
- On the go? You can pop the inserts out without taking off your slides — just toss them in your pocket.
- Target different areas: Slide your foot slightly backward to position the insert beneath the ball of the foot.
- Incorporating foot strengthening and mobility exercises supports long-term results.
- Remember: AVOS aren’t regular shoes — they’re a therapy tool designed for recovery and mobility. Use mindfully.
Therapy Mode:
(inserts 1, 2 or 3 installed)
- Locate the small bag containing inserts.
- We recommend starting with the lowest height inserts (1).
- Squeeze into the empty cavity.
- Tighten or loosen Velcro strap to adjust fit.
- Wear for 5 - 15 minutes.
- The foam starts firm and gradually softens to the feel of a tennis ball, ensuring long-term comfort. Start with the smallest inserts for an easier adjustment.
Designed for casual use on flat surfaces.
Flat Mode:
(flat inserts installed)
- Pop the raised inserts out when therapy time has
elapsed to prevent over-use. - Replace with flat inserts to wear as normal slides.
This helps preserve the integrity of your slides.
Everyone Is Different
- We always recommend 5-15 minutes of use because that will be the greatest benefit for most cases.
- Consult with a physician for best results.
Do what feels right
- AVOS come with 3 insert size options so
you can control the level of pressure. - Start with the lowest insert (1) and wear
for a full 15 min to determine whether or
not you should add more pressure. - Higher pressure is not necessarily better.
Hit the spot
- The insert location is toward the heel intentionally to target the plantar fascia.
- You can also hit different spots by adjusting your foot to stretch toes, massage other sore spots, etc.
- We recommend sliding your foot back to target the ball of the foot when standing In place.
Stay flexible
- You may notice a significant increase in flexibility and improvement within the first few weeks of use. After that, AVOS serve as a tool for easy routine maintenance.
- If you're using them for injury recovery, consult a physician first.
