How high does this Profoot raise your heel? Want to wear in boots that are too large at the heel. Can the front of the Profoot be trimmed?

The profoot comes in one size and you trim it to the size you need. Shoe sizes are marked and you just cut along the appropriate line. I haven't noticed that the heel is larger than average. What the Profoot has is a slightly higher and better supported arch than the insoles that come in most shoes.

It raises the foot 3 to 4mm depending on the the original insole of the shoes because it will replace the old one. It will fit in your boots and it can be trimmed in the front, just check if the if the size of the shoes is within range of the insole specification. This is an insole for women so its range is lower, if the shoes are even bigger try the men insole.

It is meant primarily for the toe area of a woman's high heel shoe. It works wonderfully in that capacity. I don't think it will work well to stretch the body of a shoe.

Just trim around heel area with sharp knife or scissors. That is my problem as well.

Yes, the straps at the leg can make it smaller and the strap at the bottom should be able to adjust to your heel.

Was wondering if this item works on tall boots, that have a zipper on the side?

I just measured: 17". I am 5'2" and did not use it on the lowest setting. My preference was around 19" but it depends on the shoe you are wearing on the "good" leg. A higher heel will require a higher setting.

Ditto's to get large and trim down if required. I'll throw another wrench in the works though. If you are NOT a strong heel striker when running (which is a good thing) and actually land somewhat mid-foot or rather flat, I'd suggest the full-length version of their lift, because the lack of height on one leg can still be noticeable with negative effects with the forefoot lower. Then you'll really want large to give enough room to trim the same as the insole to go under it.

You can cut these down to your shoe size. I am not sure how they work in heels.

I would guess you could use it on your heel as the pads would fit. Hope this helps you, snorkie

The foot is about 10 inches in length. It is hard for it to wear shoes/heels correctly unless you find the right height of the heel (I just use socks or stockings)

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

I wore a tall lace up boot With an insole on the other foot. A tall lace up leather boot is in effect a modest ankle brace, so, this did three things. One, it equalized the height of both ankles at the heel. You can adjust the height by swapping insoles till its right. Second, the stiff tall boot on the good foot helped match the walking stride of the good leg to the injured one, eg. Restricted it a bit. Third, it gives you a pair of tall lace up boots to contineu wearing to protect your ankle in the contunuing healing process, which takes a year or two to get it right. I Wear a different shoe in a different style every day, going barefoot on Sunday. :) after church. This helps keep your mustles balanced and growing stronger. Its a process, all the best to ya.

I doubt you would be able to wear high heels, but it fits in my normal shoe (size 11.5) and I have worn it with flip flops crazy as that sounds. One of the best things is it doesn't fill the hold shoe sole, my foot used to go to sleep with my old AFO.

As long as you're not trying to cover the bottom of your entire foot or to prevent your foot from dropping, you're ok. It will float your heel as described. My husband is a regular width size and it fits him comfortable so you may need the 5 inch vs the 4 inch.

This model does not or at least what I purchased does not. The next model up does have the heel raise bar.

The package does not provide this information, but with the insert, it only raises your shoe an additional 3/4 of an inch. Since most orthopedic boots have a thick rubber sole, (mine measures 2 inches thick at the thickest part) in my opinion it would be more beneficial to the patient if there were two insoles provided instead of one or at least make the sole of the product thicker. Hope this helps.

It would probably do like the over the calf tube soks, and that is only pulls them on over the heel, then you have to position them and finish pulling them up.
