Frequently asked questions
Does this provide precise height adjustments?
Yes, the AliMed Adjustable Heel Lift features a peel-apart design that allows you to customize the height exactly as needed. You can easily achieve a total elevation of 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, or 3/8 inch by removing the resilient rubber layers.
Is the material durable for daily wear?
Absolutely. It is constructed from high-quality leather and resilient, tapered rubber. This combination is specifically engineered to provide long-lasting support and withstand daily compression while maintaining its structural integrity.
Can this help with Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis?
Yes, this lift is frequently used in clinical settings for the treatment of:
- Achilles tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Leg length discrepancies
- Pelvic obliquity correction (when used with post-op shoes)
Is the top surface comfortable against the skin?
The lift features a durable leather top cover that provides a soft, comfortable interface for the foot, ensuring that it remains pleasant to use even during extended periods of wear.
Will this fit comfortably inside my existing footwear?
Its design features a slim, anatomical profile (2 inches x 4.25 inches) that is tapered to ensure a smooth transition inside the heel cup. It is versatile enough to be integrated into:
- Orthopedic footwear
- Athletic shoes
- Everyday dress or casual shoes
Is this manufactured to high quality standards?
Yes, this product is manufactured in the United States and meets strict quality standards, including:
- Buy American Act (BAA) Compliant

Is it easy to change the height myself?
Yes, it is very straightforward. The layers are held together by a reliable, peel-apart adhesive. You can simply pull the layers apart to reach your preferred height without the need for additional tools or messy glues.
How does the tapered edge help with comfort?
The rubber layers are specifically tapered to provide a gradual, smooth transition from the lift to the insole of your shoe. This prevents a harsh “drop-off” feeling, ensuring the lift feels like a natural part of your shoe.
Can this be used for pelvic alignment?
Yes, it is highly effective for correcting pelvic obliquity. It is often used in conjunction with post-operative shoes or clinical recovery plans to help balance pelvic alignment by compensating for leg length differences.
