Summer holiday: How to keep your body fit

Summer holiday: How to keep your body fit

And why a good brace or insoles is indispensable!

The summer holiday is the perfect time to completely unwind. Relaxing, enjoying the nice weather and spending time with family or friends. But… how do you make sure your body also stays fit during these weeks? And what should you pay attention to if you want to stay active without complaints?

Keep moving: also on holiday

On holiday we often do things we do less at home: long walks, cycling, sports, or just strolling through a new city. Movement keeps your muscles flexible, your joints healthy and makes you feel more energetic.

But sometimes you may experience pain in your feet, knees or back. Especially if you suddenly move more (or differently) than at home. Sounds familiar? You’re certainly not the only one.

Prevent complaints by supporting both feet and joints

Insoles (orthotic insoles)

Orthotic insoles, also called inlays, are essential for those who want to keep moving comfortably. They support your feet, correct possible alignment issues and optimally distribute pressure. This not only helps your feet, but also prevents complaints in the knees, hips or back.

Are you using new insoles for the first time? Then build up wearing them gradually, so your feet can get used to them. This way you can enjoy your holiday without annoying discomfort.
Our advice is to take two pairs of insoles with you: one pair for your active shoes and one pair for regular shoes. Both the GO Medical flat foot insoles and the Fitpace EcoDasher Plus modular insoles are very suitable for this.

Braces: extra support where needed

Not only your feet, but other joints may also need extra support during your holiday. Think of your ankle, knee, wrist or even your back. Braces provide stability for weak or vulnerable joints and can help prevent or reduce complaints. Do you easily suffer from an unstable ankle, painful knee or overused wrist? A brace can be just the extra support you need.

Braces are available in various types and sizes: from lightweight ankle braces to sturdy knee or back braces. They are easy to wear, often fit comfortably inside your (sports) shoes, and help you move longer, more comfortably and more safely. This way, you get more out of your holiday without worrying about your joints. Read our page about the different support classes per brace!

Tips to stay fit and pain-free:

  • Start wearing your insoles or brace at home, so you’re used to them before departure.
  • Always take your inlays and any brace with you, even if you think you won’t need them. Better safe than sorry!
  • Alternate shoes regularly and give your feet some rest.
  • Listen to your body. Feeling pain? Take a break in time and use your brace or insoles as extra support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I return my order? +

You can register a return shipment within 14 days after receiving your order through our return portal. You will be given two options:

  1. You can exchange your product(s) for another product or a different size.
  2. You can return your product(s) and receive a refund.
    You will need your order number and the postcode used when placing the order.
    Please always follow our return guidelines and return conditions when sending items back.

How should I package my product to return it? +

Use sturdy packaging, preferably the original shipping box in which you received your order. This minimizes the risk of damage and allows us to make someone else happy with the product. After it has been returned, the item must still be suitable to be offered as a new product.

Never use the product’s own packaging as the shipping box! If the product packaging becomes damaged, replacement costs may be charged.

What are the return conditions for returning a product? +

Return Conditions

  1. If reasonably possible, the product must be returned in its original condition and undamaged, in the most original and undamaged product packaging.
  2. It must be reasonably possible to resell your returned item without any additional handling.
  3. The product packaging may never be used as the shipping box. There must always be an extra outer shipping box around the product to prevent damage to the product and/or its packaging. You can use the shipping box we originally used to send the product to you.

How can I exchange my product for another product or size? +

Would you like to exchange the product for another size or a different product?
You can easily use our exchange service. Please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to our returns portal and indicate which product you would like to exchange.
  2. Next, select the size or the alternative product you would like to receive in exchange for your current product. For this step you will need your order number (including the letters ORD..) and your postal code. You can find these details on the packing slip.
  3. After you have indicated which product you would like to exchange and what you would like to receive in return, you can choose a return label from a carrier at a reduced rate.

Once you have purchased the return label, you will receive it by e-mail.

  • If you selected a printable return label, please print the label and attach it to the outside of the shipping box.
  • If you selected a non-printable return label, you do not need to print anything. Simply take your parcel to a parcel shop and have the QR code or barcode from the document in the e-mail scanned. The employee at the parcel shop will print the label for you and attach it to the box.

Important: always keep the drop-off receipt until your return has been fully processed. This serves as proof that you handed over the parcel.

Once we have received your return, we will process it as soon as possible (within a maximum of 5 working days). After processing your return, you will receive a new order confirmation containing the product you exchanged your original item for.

For the first exchange, no additional shipping costs will be charged. This order confirmation also confirms that your return has been successfully processed.

As soon as you receive this confirmation and the product is in stock (if a product is not in stock, it will be indicated with the word “backorder” on the product page), your order will be collected by the carrier the same day at 17:00 (5 PM).

Price difference when exchanging

If you exchange your product for a more expensive item, you will receive a separate e-mail containing a payment link for the price difference.

If the product you exchange for is cheaper, you will receive a separate e-mail confirming that the price difference will be refunded to you.
