CALTO Half Elevator Insole for Men - 1/2 Inch Height Increase Taller Heel Lift Insert (2 Pack) Black

For years friends have remarked that my left shoulder was lower than my right, and it was visible in photos as well as when I stood before a full-length mirror. My tailor remarked that my left leg was a half inch shorter than my right, which is not per se unusual, and would tailor my trousers accordingly. Several weeks ago, I ordered this half inch lift, and the results are substantial. After placing it in my left shoe my shoulders are now even, and my hips are not slightly tilted to the left. These are well made, but very slightly uncomfortable if you put them without a more giving cover. However, I quickly got used to their being firm, there was zero chafing with regular socks, but my greatest worry was that they would slip out of place over a day of walking. Not so, because they stay put perfectly due to being longer than just a heel riser, but not so long that one's foot is cramped at the ball and toe of the foot. Only downside is that you get two left and two right, and I only needed the left. I will have to order again to get two more left, so I have enough for topsiders, running shoes, etc., although they can easily be pulled out of one shoe and put into another; there is no adhesive to deal with. This was a game changer. I suppose if gaining height is your only need then use both, but if you have one leg shorter than the other (and you might not realize it) then these are excellent to balance your posture and make walking more fluid and comfortable.

I suddenly started having pain in the area of my Plantar Fasciitis –like in the heel of my foot – when I worked on my feet all day. Seeking relief, I bought four different heel-cushioning products from Amazon: MyFootSupply Gel Heel Pad Medium, Spenco Rx Heel Cushion, Sorbothane Heel Pad, and this product, Half Elevator Insole for Men - 1/2 inches (A pack of 2 Pairs).Out of the four products I bought, the Half Elevator Insole was the best. Not only does this product cushion your heel and make you a little taller, but also you get TWO pairs for a very reasonable price! In addition, this insert is virtually invisible in most shoes, is comfortable, and stays in place nicely. I bought two more pairs of these. Five stars!The Sorbothane Heel Pad stays in place nicely, and gives me a tiny bit more height, but doesn’t do anything to prevent my foot pain. If you have blue or purple shoe soles, this item blends in … otherwise it doesn’t. Three stars.The Spenco Rx Heel Cushion does shift around a little, but it did help my plantar foot pain. It adds a little height to you as well. Four stars.The MyFootSupply Gel Heel Pad was the most disappointing insert I purchased. Initially, it feels great and you might think that these inserts will help. After working on my feet all day, my Plantar hurt like heck with these inserts. I think that these gel heel pads concentrate your weight-per-square-inch to the heel of your feet. In addition, they slide around too much, requiring repositioning. Two stars.

I wear these everyday at work. These are more comfortable than I thought they would and acts as a better insole for me

Finally I found something that works for my right leg being shorter since left hip replacement. I could have a lift put on my shoe but that is very expensive and it's just one shoe . This works perfect, like someone else mentioned it would be great ro have the option to buy just for right foot or left foot.

I have leg length discrepancy and use only the left heel lift to help straighten out my back and posture. Without this, I would have an S curved back which previously pinched my nerves in my lower back. It was constantly in pain. I have 6 of these added to each of my left shoe. They fit in perfectly and are really comfortable especially compared to other styles and brands. I would recommend these heel lifts to anyone and everyone. The only thing I wish they offered was left only or right only lifts as I throw away the right side as they are of no use to me.

I tried the 3 layer insole and though I found them pretty comfortable, they really do not fit any of my loafers. These are great as it does not feel like my foot is coming out of the shoe on every back step. I do find the a little bit harder than the 1st layer of the 3 layer insole, but not noticeable after a while. What I do notice is the fact that they are only a half sole. I can feel the edge around the ball of my foot. While not painful, this is rather uncomfortable. It feels like there is something stuck inside your shoe. Maybe if they were a full size sole it would not feel as uncomfortable. I also wonder if they could have been a little higher, maybe 3/4 inch.

Incredibly comfortable for the price. They fit like a glove into my ankle boots. My only wish was that it had a self-adhesive backing, otherwise no complaints. I can fix that with a glue gun.

Finally, insoles that work. These things are so individual, a pair that works for one person may not be so good for another. I like that they’re three quarters length and so dont crowd up the toes. They provide decent cushion and medium arch support, without cutting into the the arch too much. I dont see much height increase, but i didnt really get them for that. Also two pairs for under 10 bucks is way cheaper than most.
