First of all, if it is a new custom orthotics it might need at least two weeks to fours weeks to get used to it. Therefore, give it time before your feet can adjust it. But still, if it doesn't work and hurts your feet, then it would be better to walk barefoot to avoid the pain.

Do you recommend Hoka's with insoles AND custom orthotics or should I remove their insoles and use only my custom orthotics?
