Heel lift: We don't recommend specific product lines on HealthTap. Pedorthists can help with determining the most appropriate lifts or orthotics for you.

Podiatrist opinion : Seeing a podiatrist can answer your concerns as well as determining your correct amount of lift is recommended. There are functional limb length differences and apparent limb length difference. One takes into account any pelvic rotation.
