Let me start by saying 1/4" is considered an acceptable difference between leg lengths. First you need to establish from an Orthopedic doc how much you really are in need of in the lift. These are designed to handle up to 1/2" lift. If your in need of a full 1" adjustment then there's a good chance you will require it to be built into your individual shoes. Which of course can become a costly venture. Remember you are not only dealing with leg length but possibly an uneven pelvic region. In regards to this product it works very well under your insoles and can be adjusted in different heights simply by removing the layers one by one until you have the proper height needed. With sandals it may feel a little funny on top rather than under an insole, but they may work and not be nearly as noticeable as their counterpart lifts with leather tops. They would be an option for you too and are fairly comfortable as well. I am in the medical field and I say all this because I have used both and dealt with my Orthopedic doc in depth as to the proper lift height I needed and the options I had available. I chose these for comfort, saving expense over having special made pieces for each of my shoes, and the adjustability of the clear up to 1/2". The leather top lifts come in different heights but are not adjustable.I hope this has helped and good luck.

I haven't tried it in sandals. You might try anchoring the lift with velcro dots and see if that works for you.

Kim, I do not know your specific situation/need. If you simply need more height then 2 of these in the same shoe would give you that, however, I do not believe they would work in sandals if there is an open heel. If you are attempting to simply elevate & have no medical reason I would suggest you not use these. You can purchase shoes with heels. Hope this is helpful. Mike R. :>)

Probably would slip out as you walk. Maybe you could use Velcro to keep it in place.

You can try stacking two together to get one inch, I have never tried it in sandals, so I cannot say how well it would work. Being that it is hard plastic, I am not sure it would be very comfortable on bare feet

I don't use it with sandals but you could probably glue it to the sole and it would work fine . I would imagine you'd need to combine two I the lifts to attain a full 1 inch.

They make a thinner one that I got for my wife for her dress shoes. I don't know if they will work in sandals if they're open back, but they would work in any closed back sandals. The slim fit also have a very nice suede like surface. Hope that helps. Orthaheel Slimfit Women's 3/4 Length Orthotics Size S Men's 5.5-7 Women's 6.5-8

There is just a small amount of lift. Maybe an inch. It is a full set and they are made really well. I had to buy these because of the extreme use I put on my jeep. My factory ones broke in half. I have had these a while and have had no problems.

by lift height do you mean how much higher you are elevated by these? They are very squishy, so I imagine that is impossible to decern. They are in your shoe. You step on them and the waffle bottom squishes down. This would also depend on your weight. Myself, I've had trouble with these heavy duty tullies especially more than the regular ones in keeping them from slipping around in my shoes. And yes, some shoes are too shallow for them. But I am a women so women's shoes are more shallow, and I have a rather thick heeled orthotic taking up height/volume in the heel as well

Sure, DD and I did this for a loooong time. Nice when you are outside, no one really notices. So, to do this, loosen up both shoulder/arm straps to the max, that way you can carry your babe lower (boob height). Then loosen a little the back strap, just to give you two some room to wiggle.Gosh I miss my ergo, I gave away to a dear friend in another country because those are not available there. I bought another one recently (for my spanking brand new son) and I got a fake from Amazon... That suck, but customer service was awesome and refunded me. Now on my way to my local store.Good luck!

"Lift" is just what people mean by how much your foot goes up after the heel insert is put in your shoe. You are putting something in your shoe that "lifts" your foot up. Does that make sense? Instead of your heel sitting flatly on the original insole, it now is up a bit because of the insert, which is what I do not like about the insert, as it puts my foot up higher than where shoes are slightly indented to "hug" your ankle. See how the back of your shoe rounds in above your heel/ankle? Putting in the heel insert made it so my head was up there a bit.

U lightly just push up and down in the middle. They are awesome! U can lift up with your pinky :)

The sizes reflect the width of the lift so if you have a narrow heel get a small, otherwise get a medium and if its too snug in your shoe you can carefully trim it.

The lift goes up to 1/2". It is in 3 sections. I had to peel off the first section to lower for my leg variance. The lifts just peel off as simple as pie. Hope this answers your question. It does seem like a good product.

I am 5' tall. This is monstrous and doesn't work at all. I have used other things that were too long (SpineWorks) but at least they were highest under the lumbar area. This arches your whole spine from tailbone to neck if you are short.

I just barely fit my thumb in the hole, you might get a thumb tow in but it might be too uncomfortable. U can just use something to tie thru the hole and around your foot. It might even stay just wrapped around like An ankle weight but on your foot.

Unsustainably tight. You should tighten them right before you set in for the lift and loosen them immediately afterwards. Your wrists should have very limited mobility

I began with one which was one half inch. Wore it for a month until it felt comfortable and then added another half inch. I do the same in my slipper. The pain in the other side of my back has virtually disappeared.

I have a 6.5 inch lift and I had to change out to the lift kits provided rear shocks.These bilstiens only lift the rear end maybe an 1 1/2 inches on there so i thnk they would limit height and could limit travel causing possible damage.Do what i did phone the manufacturer of your lift kit.

Hi. Before ordering I looked around and I believe I found somewhere that said 1/4", but I can't figure out where I read that, nor does it state that on the product packaging. That being said, I use the foot for 1/4" cording/piping in upholstery and it works well. I think it could do a bit bigger and smaller w/o much hassle. Hope this info helps!

I don't think that would work. Per the video, your foot will be on the ground when you first step in for safety. My pullup bar isn't very high either so I lean my feet forward some to create more room. I know sometimes I lose the full extension too.

I got about a full 2in lift. worth the money. I've had them for over a year and haven't have any problems at all.
