Question:
I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for quite some time. How is a heel lift going to help?
Answer:
The heel lift will raise the heel and weaken the mechanical forces applied to the foot by the calf easing plantar fasciitis pain and allowing the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon to heal.

Question:
What is Sever's Disease and how do heel lifts help?
Answer:
Sever's Disease first appears in children ages 7-8 years before the growth plate in the heel is fully developed. It is usually caused by excessive tension on the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia, or stress on the growth plate. A heel lift helps take the tension off of the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia. Heel lifts need to be firm so the body does not compress the lift causing more tension on the tendon and plantar fascia

Question:
What is the firmness of this lift compared to felt or to the Medi-Heel Lift?
Answer:
Of the three that you mention, the felt is going to be the softest. Even softer would be our foam heel lift and PPT heel lift. Felt is going to have some give and sometimes be a bit more comfortable than cork lifts. The Medi Heel Lift is going to be the firmest of the group. And lastly is the Adjust-a-Lift. The Adjust-a-Lift is semi-soft.
Question:
Can you clean felt?
Answer:
Not really very well. Felt though works well to absorb perspiration while the foot is in the shoe and lets go of that perspiration when the shoe is off.
