Pull the sleeve onto a clean dry bare heel so the wedge sits directly under the heel bone. Wear it on the shorter side, or on both if you want the height. Sock over the top, shoe on as normal. Rinse and air dry.

It goes on the foot. That is the entire difference.
One leg is shorter than the other. You have known for years, and you have the lift to prove it, glued inside the left shoe of one pair by a cobbler who charged you for the privilege.
So that one pair does everything. The wedding, the supermarket, the long shift on your feet. The others sit in the cupboard, because wearing them means walking unevenly and knowing your back will send the invoice by the evening.
Imagine instead the lift living on your foot rather than inside one shoe, so it simply walks into whichever pair you reach for.
ELVO™ is designed for exactly that.
A lift built into a shoe belongs to that shoe. You pay for it once per pair, it cannot be moved, and it quietly decides what you are allowed to wear.
This is a wedge moulded into a silicone sleeve that pulls onto the bare heel and grips it. It goes on the foot in the morning and it is still there whichever shoes you put on — trainers at the weekend, something smarter on Monday.
Because the heel sits in a cup rather than on a loose wedge, it stays under the heel instead of wandering forward inside the shoe, which is the usual complaint about the flat lifts sold in chemists.

1Pull it onto that heel. Wear one, or both if you simply want the height — they are sold as a pair.
2An ordinary sock covers it entirely, so nothing shows at the ankle.
3The lift is on you, so it comes with you to whichever shoes you reach for.
IllustrationThe wedge under your heel measures one inch, one and a half, or two — those are the figures to match against whatever you have been told you need. The larger 'total height' figure that this category quotes includes the sole of a trainer, and it is not the number that matters to you.
| A built-up shoe, or a loose chemist wedge | ELVO |
|---|---|

| Cannot be moved | Comes off with your sock |
| A loose wedge slides forward | Held under the heel by the cup |
| Visible build at the sole | Nothing visible on the shoe at all |
We sell a wedge of a stated height. We do not diagnose anything, we do not prescribe anything, and we are not going to tell you what your difference is or what to do about it. If somebody qualified has told you the figure, match it. If nobody has, that is the conversation to have first.
What we can tell you is the practical part, because it is the part people write about: the lift you already own is stuck in one shoe, and that is why six pairs sit in a cupboard. Moving the lift onto the foot solves that and nothing else.
Our smallest wedge is one inch, which suits a difference of about that. If yours is much smaller, this is the wrong product for you and we would rather say so here than have you find out.
They come as a pair, and for a leg-length difference most people wear one and keep the other as a spare. It works out cheaper than having a single lift built into a shoe, and you get a second one either way.
No. It is a silicone heel lift of a stated height. It is not prescribed, it is not fitted, and it does not treat anything. If you are working with a podiatrist or physiotherapist, take the height they gave you and match it.
Probably not, and we would rather tell you now. One inch is our smallest wedge. Under that you want something thinner than anything we make.
Your heel sits higher inside the shoe, so a shoe that already grips at the top will feel snugger. Lace-ups cope best. If a pair is already tight, it will be tight.
A raised heel keeps the calf and Achilles slightly shorter while it is worn. If you are wearing one for a leg-length difference this is a question for whoever is looking after you, not for us — ask them, and take them out at home.
Wear it through a normal week in the shoes you actually own. If it does not do what having the lift in one shoe did, email us inside thirty days and we refund the order.
