Shocks are designed to fit with the anatomy of your foot, so there is a left and a right Shock. It's important to put them on correctly each time, and make sure they are on the correct foot.

How to Put On my Infinite or Performance Shocks

• Put your Infinite/Performance Shocks on like you would put on tights.
• All Apolla Shocks are anatomically correct with a left and right foot.
• On the back inside cuff of the calf you will see a knit in "R" (right) and "L" (left). To know the correct foot to wear on.
• Make sure the knit-in energy absorption is facing the ground when you put them on.
• Roll the sleeve of the Shock down and scrunch down to the toes with your thumbs on the inside.
• Fill out the toes and ball of the foot.
• Completely stretch the sock back over your heel and pull it up over the calf.
• The Y stitch in the heel should hit the center of your heel diagonally.
• Smooth out any wrinkles so fabric lays flat on your feet and calves.

Tips for Putting Alpha Shocks on

Shocks are a compression garment. It takes practice to put them on quickly. However, it will become very easy once you have worn a few times.

Here are some suggestions for how to put on your Alpha Shocks:

• Put your Alphas on like you would put on tights.
• All Apolla Shocks® are anatomically correct with a left and right foot.
  • Look for the highest point of the shock to know where the big toe of each foot should go.
• Make sure knit-in energy absorption is facing the ground when you put them on.
• Start with scrunching the opening with your thumbs down to the toes than stretch the toes in first.
• Once you have filled the fabric out completely with your toes and ball of the foot, stretch over the arch and bring the heel strap under your heel.
• Slip the heel strap behind your Achilles and lay the heel strap flat on your ankle and across the back of your Achilles tendon.
• The strap should lay comfortably touching the bottom your anklebone.
