G&W Heel Lift - Clearly Adjustable - Small - Women to size 7-1/2, Men to 7 (54mm, 2-1/8'' wide)

I purchased some several years ago for my leg length discrepancy that I am still using and needed more for other shoes. They are firm so they give the true height needed, yet they are comfortable. They can go under the inner soles in some shoes, and are comfortable even when put on top of the inner soles. Some of these lifts I have I can move from one shoe to another. However, they do shape to the inside of the shoes that have bigger contours, so those are trickier to switch. I also have had luck with putting them on flat flip flops as well as some sandals with no backs. There are adhesives that come with the lifts, but when those wore out or weren't enough to stick to the lift, I used double sided clear tape. A few times one or more of the adjustable sections came off (mostly coz I was removing the lift from a shoe), and I was able to successfully reattach the sections with super-tpye glue (but don't use too much). All in all theses lifts are great and long lasting.

I need about a 1/2" lift on one leg. I've been through many lifts, and I went through a few pairs of the Warwicks, which are great when you first get them. But over time they definitely lose height.Most recently I got two pairs of these, and put them in my favorite boots that I own in brown and black. I use a Velcro sticky square to keep them in place.I like them a lot, but they definitely do soften up a bit from your body heat as well as your body weight. They therefore mold to your heel, and in the process lose a bit of height. Not as much as the Warwicks, though. WIth my first pair of these I quickly removed the top layer because they just seemed to high. I tested them a few days, and after I realized the slight height loss, I didn't remove a layer when I put the second pair in my other pair of boots.I won't return these, but I need a lift that keeps its height. There's another on Amazon (three for $18 or so), that I guess I'll bite the bullet and try them.

When I was having severe problems with my back (lumbalgia) I had a battery of exams made. From it the orthepedist doctor told me that my right leg was slightly shorter from the pelvis down (about half a centimeter). That certainly explained a lot of things (including why I always appared crooked on photos)a and all my back problems.Following the suggestion of the orthopedist I searched for something to do the job and found this product. It comes with two sets so I have one that I move from shoe to shoe, the other is permanently installed in my Skeechers BIonic which have the nice feature of having a sole that you can remove, so for my running shoes I have the 2nd heel lift permanently installed in between the main sole and the extra sole so it is not noticeable. It surely helps and I have not too much problems now that I walked balanced with my marginally short right leg.I have had it for a couple of years and they are still going good. I suppose that at some point the different layers may not stick to each other so I don't know how to overcome that when it happens.Now, I love sandals/flip-flops and own several pairs (Texa, Reef, Havaianna) because I usually wear sandals if not at work. In this case there is no way to attach the heel lift to a sandal without it falling off. Perhaps something somebody can design and produce.

I like the idea of it being adjustable, but you cannot move it from shoe to shoe. It adheres to the shoe you selected to wear. That means you need one for each pair of shoes. As for pain, it has somewhat decreased. The pain I am left with may not be due to the heel lift. I may need minor surgery. As for comfort, I think I need a shorter one in length as I have a small heel. The product itself is exactly as described and I am sure will help many people.

I had a left knee replacement 5 yrs ago and since that time I have had ever worsening aggravation with right side lower hip/back pain. Finally I visited a new doctor and she immediately measured my 2 legs, carefully. Right leg 1/2 in longer than left - a search on Amazon produced these marvelous heel lifts!!! Go no further - they have worked so well that within 2 weeks I am nearly pain free.Pros:The plastic pieces are graduated so that the whole foot is comfortably elevated.They fit beautifully under the shoe pad and my arch supports.They fit in every pair of shoes, including my summer Crocs flip-flopsThe graduated plastic pieces hold together with static, thus giving little ridges on the bottom of lift keeping the lift right in place - never slipping down into my shoeThe plastic is easily trimmed to fit right into the shape of the shoe sole. This is extremely important as you want the heel lift to lay flat in the shoe - not riding up on sides or heel.As I am only lifting 1/4 inch for now - I can easily get 2 lifts out of one package!! viola - cheaper than anything else I found.Cons: If I find any I will come back and let you know!

I have had a leg discrepancy for 20 years. I spent so much money to have my shoes "built-up". As a result, I put up with a left shoe that felt stiff and had added weight. The shoes never did feel right.I did some reading online and read lots of reviews. I hesitated on using this G&W Heel Lift because it was made of ahard plastic. A good note is that these G&W lifts are a little longer and fit in my shoe well. . I tape the lift in my shoe and then add an instep sole on top. (This depends upon how much room you might have available in your heel area. Please note that you have to experiment to find the right shoe style that works with this add-on. Buy the add-on lift and take it with you whenyou buy shoes. I ended up buying a lift for each pair of shoes I own. It is easier than trying to re-use just (one lift). Hope this review helps someone.
