heel lift
Height-boosting wedge
A heel lift is a wedge-shaped insert placed inside a shoe to elevate the heel.
Heel lifts serve various purposes: compensating for leg length discrepancies, treating Achilles tendon problems, or simply adding height.
They range from thin foam pads to substantial orthotic devices: My podiatrist prescribed a heel lift for my left shoe.
