If you weren't having any leg/knee/foot/bikefit issues or pains before fitting the bag I wouldn't suggest trying to change your fit or changing what works for you to compensate for the bag.
If you were already having issues/pain with your knees tracking weirdly or felt that you needed insoles/arch support prior to using the bag, then I guess it's worth considering. But yeah, don't change just for the bag.

Hard to say without know how full the bag was but if rammed then try packing less in it towards the back to keep it narrower, so it tapers in towards the seattube? Not a problem for many people but I also had knee running when I first got a frame bag, packing it differently sorted it.

I bought a framebag (Restrap) to use for touring in May. I used it yesterday to try it out and for a lot of the ride my legs rubbed against it, which has caused some fraying to my bibs shorts.
I know this is because I'm flat footed and when I walk or cycle my feet roll inwards.
Whilst riding it felt as though I was naturally compensating for the bag (causing some odd aches as I held my legs in a way I usually wouldn't) and my legs weren't rubbing the bag as much at the end.
Will I adjust to the bag naturally, should I try insoles or is a frame bag just not for me?
