- 2.1 A trial last fitting is conducted to check last for fit and function
- 2.2 Modifications are made to last in consultation with client to achieve design and construction specifications
- 2.3 A mock-up or diagnostic fitting is made in line with specifications
- 2.4 Diagnostic fitting is evaluated and proposed construction and materials are reviewed
3 Conduct trial fittings
- 3.1 Custom-made footwear is fitted and client is consulted for further adjustments
- 3.2 Trial fitting of custom-made footwear is conducted to reflect real-life usage, ease of fitting and compliance with design and production specifications
- 3.3 Required adjustments are identified in discussion with client
4 Conduct client follow up
- 4.1 Measurements are taken of foot and footwear and compared to previous findings
- 4.2 New measurements are taken, if required to confirm or establish required modifications to footwear
