Choosing the Right Trekker Heel Lift
Selecting the correct heel lift depends on why you need additional heel elevation and the type of footwear you'll be wearing. Trekker heel lifts are available in a range of heights to suit different requirements and can be used in work boots, running shoes, walking shoes and many everyday shoes.
If you're unsure which height is most suitable, it's always best to follow the advice of your podiatrist or healthcare professional.
Which Heel Lift Height Should I Choose?
Trekker heel lifts are available in several heights, allowing you to choose the amount of heel elevation that best suits your needs.
4mm Heel Lifts – A small amount of heel elevation suitable for minor adjustments.
6mm Heel Lifts – A popular everyday option providing moderate heel elevation.
8mm Heel Lifts – Offers additional heel height where more elevation is required.
If you have been prescribed a specific heel lift height, always follow your healthcare professional's recommendation.
Will Trekker Heel Lifts Fit My Shoes?
Trekker heel lifts have a slim, low-profile design that fits comfortably inside many types of footwear, including:
Running shoes
Walking shoes
Work boots
School shoes
Casual footwear
For the best fit, choose footwear with enough depth to comfortably accommodate the heel lift.
Helpful Tips
Place the heel lift firmly into the heel of the shoe before wearing.
For the most secure fit, keep one pair of heel lifts in each pair of shoes you wear regularly.
If you wear multiple pairs of shoes, purchasing additional pairs makes changing footwear much easier.
Trekker Heel Lift FAQs
What are Trekker heel lifts used for?
Trekker heel lifts provide additional heel elevation inside footwear and are commonly used where extra heel height has been recommended or where additional heel comfort is desired.

Trekker heel lifts are suitable for many types of enclosed footwear, including work boots, running shoes, walking shoes and casual shoes, provided there is sufficient room inside the shoe.
