It is designed for controlled elevation and mechanical adjustment, not soft impact cushioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the Clearly Adjustable® Heel Lift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be adjusted from 1mm to 12mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I adjust the height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove layers to lower the lift. Replace layers to raise it. Each layer changes the height by about 1mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose based on the width of the shoe’s heel pocket. Small fits narrower heel pockets; medium fits many average adult shoes; and large fits larger shoes, wider heel pockets, boots, and many sandals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I trim the lift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The lift can be trimmed with scissors or a razor blade to fit the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should the lift go in the shoe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most closed-heel shoes, place it under the insole or footbed so the foot still rests on the shoe’s original surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it in sandals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The clear material helps reduce visibility. A wider size is often more stable for sandals because open footwear lacks heel-cup sidewalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this good for leg length discrepancy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may be used for clinician-directed leg length discrepancy correction because it is firm and adjusts in 1mm steps. The side and height should be professionally evaluated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it help Achilles tendon programs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeel elevation is sometimes used in clinician-directed Achilles tendon programs. For Achilles use, a provider may recommend lifts in both shoes to avoid creating a new imbalance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it better than foam or gel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor mechanical height correction, yes. Foam and gel compress under body weight. Clearly Adjustable® is firm and designed to hold the selected height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used for varus or valgus correction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe layers can be trimmed and rearranged for side-to-side wedging, but that should be done with professional guidance because it affects the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used for sports?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, when appropriate. It can be used in athletic shoes and sports boots for clinician-directed lift correction or shoe-fit tuning. Use the minimum height needed and keep the foot stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan one lift be split into two lower lifts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt lower heights, layers may be re-stacked to preserve the long ramp shape and potentially create two lower-height lifts. This should be done carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Balego sell other heel lifts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
