American Heelers have modified thousands of shoes and we can effectively perform the shoe lift elevation on any shoe you like. The average shoe lift size they modify is approximately 5/8″ which only adds a couple ounces of weight to the shoe. However very often we have to modify shoes 2, 3 and even 4″! On shoe lift elevations of that larger thickness it is even more important to select shoes which are lighter weight and more flexible because the additional sole makes the shoe weigh a little more and lose some flexibility.

We walk on our feet every single day, so they take a lot of wear and tear. Some people wear and swear by insoles for their shoes on a daily basis, whereas others think that they are nothing more than a waste of time and money. So, what’s the verdict? Are they worth the money to spend or are they just “if you want them” accessories? Let’s take a look.

If you’ve discovered that you have Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) to the point where it is considered “significant”– aka, needs some sort of treatment to help you live comfortably, you may be wondering whether or not a heel lift is the best option.

What are Orthotics?

There are primarily two different types of foot support you can adopt to get rid of pain or feel more comfortable.

There are a few who are born with feet with the perfect shape or neutral shape. Their foot is neutral enough that they actually don’t need any type of additional support to help it to hold its shape. They can use all common types of shoes to walk comfortably and carry the load of the body. But what about the majority of the people with defective foot sizes. Many times, you can’t mark the difference just by looking at it but medically they need orthotic shoes to correct the foot related issues and prevent any future pain or injury.

Shoes have become an integral part of our daily lives. Most of us have a broad range of shoes in our wardrobe including Sneakers, Formal Shoes, Party Wear, Sports Shoes, and many more. When it comes to sports shoes, you will find an enormous list of brands around the world that produces million sports shoes every year.
