Shoe Lifts

Kelli got her first shoe lift when she was 10 months old.  (December 14, 2009)  It was 2 1/4 inches high. 


 Since then, we have gotten a new lift every six months as she continues to grow.  Her shoe lifts now are 2 3/4 inches high.
These boots were her favorite!

Our insurance covers the cost for a lift to be added to one pair of shoes by a orthotist.  We take her sneakers to Lawall Orthotics and Prosthetics to have a lift added. 

After calling around to a few local shoe repair shops, we found a place which will add a lift for only $30.  (Most other places charge between $65-$100 to have a lift added!)  As we are able, we have lifts added to winter boots and dress shoes.
