Adaptions, Build-ups and Raises
We are able to adapt almost any kind of footwear to adjust for leg differences in leg length, and other foot, leg and joint problems
Because our footwear and orthotics are made on the premises we are able to offer a very fast and personal footwear adaption service.
Please feel free to call us on 020 7486 4664 and discuss any alterations or adaptions you require. We will be able to give you a telephone quote and you can then send your footwear to us by post.
We are the Professionals!
Call our helpline on 020 7486 4664 to make an appointment.
All our shoes and orthotics are handmade by our team of technicians and shoe makers so we have the ability to adapt almost any type of footwear to your personal requirements.
For example:
- We can raise any footwear using lightweight materials, matching the colour as near as possible.
- We can adapt any sporting footwear, e.g. trainers could have the sole changed to become golf shoes.
- We can alter the soles of any of your normal existing footwear, making them into golf shoes.
Please contact us for more information about Adaptions, Build-ups and Raises.

Adaption to ladies high-heeled shoe
Solution: This style requires the left heel to be lowered by 1/2" and inside the right heel we placed a 1/4" tapering cork.
A discreet solution to a problem.
More examples of adaptions, build-ups and raises
Black casual shoes with a 2 1/2" raise to the right shoe
The original sole was taken off, the raise was added then the original sole replaced. This ensures we keep
the adapted shoe looking as near to the other one as possible.
Trainers with a raise to the right shoe.
As you can see the job has been done to make the raise as discreet as possible.
The pattern on the side of the shoe has been copied onto the new raise.
We endeavour to make all adaptions, build-ups and raises as discreet as possible.
Steel Sole Plate and Rocker Sole.
The shoe on the left has been adapted by inserting a steel sole and heel plate throughout the length
of the shoe. A rocker sole has also been added. These features will prevent the foot from bending.
Float and Wedge to Heel.
The right shoe has had the heel flared out to the outside, it has also been wedged. This is to prevent
the foot pronating on the lateral border.
For further examples of our work please see our Adapted Footwear Gallery
