Q:
Roberta, Do you recommend any products to help post up the orthotic for a true leg length discrepancy of about an inch?
A:
The most lift I would attach to a heel of an orthotic is 1/4″.
You can get extended 1/2″ lifts that are not attached to the orthotic. They require a very very deep shoe like a deep sneaker or boot.
I have rarely been able to make a lift any larger than 1/2″ that will fit it inside a shoe. We can make whatever you want, but I couldn’t guarantee shoe fit. And I have never found prefab lifts of this size.
Most of my patients using lifts larger than 1/2″ usually have them put onto the external shoe. That’s the ideal solution.
