Powerstep Adjustable Heel Lift Cushion

After seeing a physical therapist for a foot issue, she suggested that I might try a lift if the heel of the shoe that was bothering me. It did not take much of a lift in my exercise sneakers, which I wear most of the time. I am a fitness instructor and have one hip that is slightly higher, which probably caused the discomfort. Along with sleeping on the side where the hip is higher (which lengthens and supports the back on the problem side), the 16th of an inch lift provides a gentle and perfect amount of help. I prefer the shortest of the three separable lifts in my shoe underneath the Spenco Polysorb Heavy Duty insert that I put in every pair of fitness shoes I wear.

I have purchased this heel lift (singular- only one heel lift for those seeking two) multiple times because I have found it comfortable and helpful to work with a small leg discrepancy. However, despite not taking them apart- I use all the layers in my shoes- they fall apart really quickly, then you suddenly have multiple layers of a heel lift shifting underneath you while you walk- and if you walk a lot like I do in NYC, it's annoying and something more durable would be better. I haven't figured out which I like better (except for Dr. Foot that I use in my dance shoes that are sturdier, but a bit narrow for my regular walking boots).If you understand you're only getting one heel lift, and need a quick fix/support and aren't expecting longevity, then it'll do the trick temporarily.

good support but flattened and support diminished.

Does exactly what it states it does, and what it needs to do. Thank you Powerstep.
