Description
Heel elevations usually have a specific purpose. You can elevate a heel for a leg length discrepancy usually up to a half inch. Anything higher would alter the pitch from heel to ball of foot. In that case you would do a full elevation across the entire surface of the sole (see sole elevation). In some cases, such as damaged achilles tendon, drop foot or severe plantar fasciitis, a doctor will prescribe higher elevation amounts.
