I haven't used the ones that I have had in the past because they kept slipping around and were just a nuisance. After a doctor's visit showed that my 48 year old right knee was in the early stages of arthris because of the lack of alignment, I realized I needed to do something. I ordered these because of the other reviews and I found them to be everything that everyone said: the gel was comfortable, the yellow spot was not. They didn't smell bad after wearing, either. It was an ok answer, but not the best. Then I made a couple of adaptations. 1. I pulled out my shoe's insoles and placed the heel lift in and then replaced the shoe's insole. This not only helped make them less noticable, they also prevented them from slipping. 2. As I only needed one heel lifted, I turned the other one over and used it in another shoe. 3. I first tried to slip it in to fit the form of the shoe (right lift turned upside down to align with the left foot shoe). That made the yellow middle hurt like crazy. I then just turned it up with the cushion side down. It didn't fit exactly, but with the shoe's original insole above it, it wasn't noticeable at all. 4. I will note that I used them in my dress shoes and my tennis shoes both. The tennis shoes had their insoles replaced by Dr. Scholl's athletic insoles. The tennis shoes with upgrades insoles were perfect. I'm going to change the dress shoes out to better insoles. All in all, this was one of the best adaptions I have ever made. Just spoke to my Orthopedic doc and he said I was a genius. As much as I pay him, I'm sure he's very smart. Good lifts... I recommend them. I'm buying another set because I have 4 sets of shoes. Review: Now I am balanced - For years friends have remarked that my left shoulder was lower than my right, and it was visible in photos as well as when I stood before a full-length mirror. My tailor remarked that my left leg was a half inch shorter than my right, which is not per se unusual, and would tailor my trousers accordingly. Several weeks ago, I ordered this half inch lift, and the results are substantial. After placing it in my left shoe my shoulders are now even, and my hips are not slightly tilted to the left. These are well made, but very slightly uncomfortable if you put them without a more giving cover. However, I quickly got used to their being firm, there was zero chafing with regular socks, but my greatest worry was that they would slip out of place over a day of walking. Not so, because they stay put perfectly due to being longer than just a heel riser, but not so long that one's foot is cramped at the ball and toe of the foot. Only downside is that you get two left and two right, and I only needed the left. I will have to order again to get two more left, so I have enough for topsiders, running shoes, etc., although they can easily be pulled out of one shoe and put into another; there is no adhesive to deal with. This was a game changer. I suppose if gaining height is your only need then use both, but if you have one leg shorter than the other (and you might not realize it) then these are excellent to balance your posture and make walking more fluid and comfortable. ## Features - ✔ELEVATOR SHOE EFFECT - Inserts provides subtle 1/2 inch heightboost as well as comfort cushioning.

I would like to ask about elevator insole. 5cm Height taller. 1/2 foot lenght.** A: Hey. Sure, what quests do you have? **Q: Are you supposed to take out the existing sole of your shoe?** A: Place it on the existing sole. I was not pleased with the insole as 1/2 inch was not enough to make a difference. I reordered a 1 inch much better. **Q: does each insole work in either the left or right shoe?** A: No. They are specific to right and left shoes. See my review for a picture. **Q: Would these work for a women’s wide sneaker?** A: Here is the woman version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042LDWVM ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful after adapting. *by T***D on August 13, 2012* I have one leg shorter than the other from a birth defect and have known for years that I needed a heel lift.

Comfortable for all day wear, but just needs a slightly wider base for more stability on uneven terrain. If you like to walk uneven trails this isn't great for that, but works perfectly well for flat/normal terrain. ## Frequently Bought Together - CALTO Half Elevator Insole for Men - 1/2 Inch Height Increase Taller Heel Lift Insert (2 Pack) Black - Height Increase Insoles – Shoe Lift Inserts - Dr. Shoesert 3-Layer Adjustable Height Increase Insoles, 3/4 Length Shock Absorption Cushion Heel Lift Inserts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/45859169-calto-half-elevator-insole-for-men-1-2-inch-height](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/45859169-calto-half-elevator-insole-for-men-1-2-inch-height) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
