SHOE LIFTS
Do you need one shoe built up? This is one of our most popular specialties. Over the years, many physicians, chiropractors, and podiatrists have referred people to us for this kind of work.
We have been adding shoe lifts to shoes and boots for many years and have done this work for people all over the United States. At this point, we have honestly lost count, but it is in the tens of thousands. We also have customers who have been using our lift service for more than 30 years.
Our goal is simple: make the lift stable, durable, and as natural-looking as possible while keeping the shoe practical for everyday use.
OUR METHOD
In most cases, we carefully remove the original sole first, then add the lift, and then put the original sole back on. That means you still have the same sole on both shoes.
This is one of the things that makes our work different. A lot of shoe lifts done elsewhere look added on. We work hard to make the lift blend in better and to keep the shoe looking as balanced as possible.

SHOE LIFT QUESTIONS
These are some of the most common questions we hear from customers looking for shoe lifts for leg length discrepancy, uneven legs, and orthopedic shoe modifications.
Q: What kind of shoes can you put lifts on?
A: We can add lifts to most shoes out there, including molded soles, unit soles, and many one-piece soles. We also work on most athletic shoes, golf shoes, dress shoes, work boots, and casual shoes.
Q: What kinds of shoes tend to work best?
A: In general, shoes with smoother sidewalls and cleaner edges tend to blend best. We can shape and sculpt many athletic or casual soles, but the smoother the original shape, the cleaner the finished lift usually looks.
Q: Can you put a lift inside the shoe instead of building it onto the outside?
A: Small corrections can sometimes be handled inside a shoe, but larger corrections usually work better when they are built onto the outside of the shoe. That gives you a more stable result and usually feels better in everyday use.
Q: Do both shoes end up with the same sole on the bottom?
A: In most cases, yes. We usually remove the original sole, add the lift, and then reattach the original sole. That is one of the things that helps our work look cleaner and feel more natural.
Q: Athletic shoes?
A: Yes, many athletic shoes can be modified. Just keep in mind that some athletic soles have heavily sculpted edges, and those can be harder to blend cleanly than smoother styles.
Q: Golf shoes?
A: No problem at all. We have done a lot of them, and there is no extra charge.
Q: Work boots?
A: No problem. Danner, Red Wing, Carolina, Belleville, Blundstone — we have done these and many more.
Q: Are there any brands or styles you don’t do?
A: There are only a few that we cannot do: Birkenstock Footprints, track shoes with cleats or spikes, shoes with exposed springs, and shoes with exposed air pockets. If the air pocket is embedded inside the sole, that is often okay. If you are unsure, email us a picture and we will gladly take a look.
Q: Does the adhesive ever separate during wet or snowy weather?
A: We do a great deal of shoe repair work here in western Oregon, where there is plenty of rain. If our adhesives did not hold up in wet conditions, we would not have been doing this work successfully for so many years.
Q: Do I need a prescription or a doctor’s note?
A: Not always. Many customers already know the amount they need because it has been measured by a doctor, chiropractor, podiatrist, or therapist. If you already know the lift amount in inches or millimeters, that is usually enough for us to work from.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Sorry, we only ship within the USA.
Q: How do I start the process?
A: Print and complete our shipping form. The easiest way for most people to ship to us is to go to the Post Office and ask for a large Priority Mail Tyvek envelope. Those are often fine for one pair. If you are sending more than one pair, the free Priority Mail boxes usually work well.
