Orthopedic shoe lift solutions

Get the right fit with our tailored solution for leg length discrepancies.

Do your shoes wear differently in the heel? Are your pants legs hemmed at different lengths? Small differences in leg length are common. In fact, as many as a third of the population may have a 1 cm or less (less than ½”) discrepancy between their right and left legs. Some leg length discrepancies may cause limping when walking or difficulty in running, and the small misalignment may cause hip or back pain. Often a shoe lift provides enough support to remediate the discrepancy.  

We've been helping customers with leg length discrepancy for more than 75 years.

measurements for shoe lifts

A variety of medical professionals recommend lifts – (chiropractors, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons). To get custom shoe lifts made to adjust for leg length discrepancy, measurements of the shorter leg, shoe size, and the desired height difference between the two legs are typically needed. In some cases, a medical professional may also provide a prescription specifying the necessary lift height.
