Custom-Made Heel Wedge (Orthopaedic Heel Lift Insole)
The Custom-Made Heel Wedge is a specially designed orthopaedic shoe insert that provides a gradual elevation of the heel to support foot positioning, improve comfort, and accommodate individual lower-limb alignment requirements.
The wedge features a smooth black upper surface, a supportive raised heel section, and a gradually tapered design that extends towards the forefoot. Its contoured construction allows it to fit inside suitable footwear while providing a prescribed heel lift. Individually fabricated according to the user’s foot measurements and clinical needs, the Heel Wedge can be customised in height, thickness, shape, and material to provide personalised orthotic support.

Important Information
The Custom-Made Heel Wedge requires appropriate assessment and measurement by a qualified orthotist or healthcare professional.
The correct heel elevation, wedge length, material firmness, and wearing schedule depend on the patient’s condition and treatment requirements.
An incorrectly sized heel wedge may affect walking mechanics, balance, or comfort. Patients should avoid selecting excessive heel elevation without professional guidance.
