Trekker 8mm Heel Lifts
Trekker 8mm Heel Lifts are firm, self-adhesive heel raises designed to sit neatly inside footwear and under orthotics. Available in 4mm, 6mm and 8mm thicknesses and three width options, these heel lifts allow for a precise fit across different shoe styles.
Manufactured from extra-firm density EVA, Trekker Heel Lifts are designed to maintain their shape over time without compressing or wearing down. The strong peel-away adhesive backing helps keep the heel lift securely in place inside the shoe, reducing movement during daily wear.
Heel lifts are commonly used to adjust heel height within footwear and may help reduce strain through the lower leg by altering foot positioning. When used with orthotics, heel raises should be placed under the heel section of the orthotic to maintain proper fit and stability.
