Fabricating an Orthotic Shoe Raise / Shoe Lift for People with Leg Length Discrepancies

[@mysticsenpai7007]

This made me smile 😃 I hope you have a wonderful day

[@specialopslab8688]

Thank you :) you as well

[@stuartgerger7828]

I agree: great! And the music choice set the tone that you are doing meaningful work (which I think you are).

[@viskarenvisla]

quite a fine job. Thank you.

[@scottwalters7573]

Where are you purchasing the foam? I used 2 part from Kingsley but it is no longer available. Thanks in advance.

[@kevenlincks8016]

Loved your video. I myself have one and a quarter inch difference in my legs and I never thought much of it until I hit 51 and now I'm feeling my sciatic nerve because I never had the correct shoe built. I do ask this. What type of glue do you use to adhere the heel together?

[@GianlucaPerfetti]

Hi, first of all my compliments you did a fantastic job, sorry.but what make and model of bandsaw do you use to cut the shoes? Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@cassandrarussell5558]

What a fine job. Best video I’ve seen. Thank you❤❤❤

[@Meghansfanrocks]

Very Interesting how it's made, i have to have a lift on my shoes as i have this issue, and have always wondered how it's made!.

[@RedaMilhail]

Hi, I was wandering where do you buy the Eva foam?

[@lt200420]

Very cool work.

[@theunoriginalredditor7965]

Very Interesting is there a way to lift a shoe without sawing off the original sole? Merry Christmas

[@christophertomko7863]

Thanks for sharing this info!

[@TheAdeWebster]

What type of material are you using please? I need to increase the height of my sole on several shoes right side only to help with health issues. Could you direct me to the foam or rubber or whatever you're using please? Thanks

[@nobutsaboutit]

I'm curious about doing my own 3d pritning for a 1 3/4" lift. Any thoughts?

[@asgharabbas6729]

Very good job i need this.

[@uglyduckling6274]

Can use the eva foam mat floor? Is it the same material with soleflex?

[@mrtwannnn]

Damn I felt like I was the only one dealing with this

[@bakarebaraqat1181]

I also felt the same... Alas! We are not alone

[@borgestv9596]

[@LHMCB]

Having a hard time getting it done in Cornwall UK. Might have to invest in the machinery. Thanks for this!

[@princeluggard5433]

Thanks for taking us on this fulfilling journey. What kind of two part rigid foam did you use here? Polyurethane?

[@specialopslab8688]

No problem ☺️ it is a two part pedilen foam from a German company called ottobock. I believe it is similar to the polyurethane foam. The foam only serves to increase the surface area for the cement to adhere to. Some shoes don’t have lattice air pockets and so foam isn’t even necessary in those cases.

[@mr.mathews6485]

Great job. I have a 3/4” discrepancy and have work shoes lifted but never have had my tennis shoes lifted. What would something like that cost?

[@palmosmostlyminecraft]

Depends on the cobbler, but usually over 100 USD

[@ScottDiburro]

I want to add two inches to my shows like the way you was doing it first using the tape then pouring in some stuff then you sand it off what kind of stuff do i need to use to do that

[@wondergurl06]

Hi there! This is amazing! I started making my daughter's shoe lifts very similar to your methods. May I ask what type of glue are you using to adhere the foams together? I've tried a few but always seem to fail after a month. I appreciate any tips!

[@specialopslab8688]

Barge cement adhesive

[@corbin302]

My 2 year old has a leg length discrepancy, can you guys put me in the right direction for finding the correct foam to try to do diy hers? Thank you!

[@samestep7669]

[@misi9918]

Gratulálok szép munka

[@hannesaltenfelder4302]

What material did you glue on? Is it rubber, eva, pu? And which density?

[@DavidBHoward]

Love this video but the only thing missing is a very small rocker in the back. Not building but a user. Well done. Thank you.

[@lightworker4512]

Agreed. Great work but heel rocker must be added to aid in propulsion, reduce tension on Achilles.

[@jrb258]

What is the name and address of your company? Great video - thanks for posting.

[@spookedhorse]

I broke my right femur when I was 3, back in 1969. The doctor who set my femur, set it wrong. I was in traction of 8 weeks, in a hospital. As a teen, the lean to the right started. All of my weight has been going to my right side, for a good portion of my life. I'm 58 now and it's brought on some hardcore osteoarthritis, in the right ankle. I'm wondering if this kind of shoe, will help.

[@mysteriousgamergirl354]

Dont worry heroes everything gonna b okay🎉❤trust me gonna b fine

[@hareemfatima9934]

What is the material that you have used as a sole

[@YoyoA-xu6jj]

Hi in my country my shoe lift is heavy we’re can I purchase the same lift as yours

[@rashellyohn5128]

I would like to know please : What kind of eva or foam do you use for the build up? Whats the name of the glue.

[@specialopslab8688]

The material is called crepe rubber. And the adhesive is called barge cement

[@rashellyohn5128]

Hello thank you. That material is hard to find. What brand of band saw do you have. All the ones i have seen have a very low clearance. I bought one and could not slide or even get my shoe in to cut the bottom off. I have to do it by hand. could you tell me pls@@specialopslab8688

[@kimjagyum]

Hello! Thank you for watching the video and it is very good information. I have polio in my right leg and my right leg is two and a half inches short. After watching this video, I also need the shoes you showed me. How can I be contacted?

[@wdjsvk]

Hi - Did you get any response? I am also looking for similar shoes

[@specialopslab8688]

We require a prescription to make these shoes for our patients in Canada. I’m sure any orthotic clinic in your local area can help you with this. Good luck :)

[@charlottenorman7237]

Our local shoe repair builds shoes up

[@kimjagyum]

@@charlottenorman7237 thank you

[@kidscootersacarparts]

Great Vid......What foam density are you using? Tried 2 lbs sp/in. and it was too soft. Felt like walking on the moon at the arcade. 😂

[@sairamjaisriram7035]

Hi bro how can I get those shoes

[@蔡迪-v6n]

What is the height difference between the two feet?

[@doohwang818]

Im a cobbler and doing same job in Sarasota. I have 2 questions. Why are you put epoxy and punch holes? Just curious? Also well done and neat job!!

[@specialopslab8688]

The punch holes are done to reduce weight with a big shoe raise like this one. I do not drill holes if the raise is less then 1.5”. The “epoxy” is actually superglue which I like using for the first layer that contacts the shoe. It fills any imperfections and also acts as a safety measure to prevent the raise from ripping away from the shoe (most likely spot where it will rip away from)

Turned the shoe into a boat.

[@mjnyc8526]

hi may i know much for that shoes modification?

[@viskarenvisla]

I live in Wisconsin and just sent my shoes to American Heeler for lift. They charge $85-110 for each shoe, depending on what height is needed. Honeycomb is more expensive, roughly $15 for each shoe.

Why not honeycomb to make lighter for patients 🤔

[@asifyaqoob3425]

U can prepare a shoe for me

[@waelsaeed]

The only problem with such shoe raises is that they are very heavy

[@amalgamer6812]

Exactly

[@shelbel2257]

I paid extra for a material that had holes punched it it. Saved quite a bit one the extra weight

[@ericagammaitoni9230]

I have a 2 inch leg discrepancy and mine are not heavy. Looks like the same material too.

[@zackdepalma6184]

And I thought I was the only one that had problems like this but not as bad only 1” to 1 1/4

[@TamaraKane]

You can hollow out parts of the foam to make bouncy cushiony air pockets. Just remember to add a layer over them so that the air will be sealed inside and remain lightweight.
