Perfect.
I quickly found out I needed the even up after being fitted with a fracture boot following some very uncomfortable weeks on crutches. The misalignment caused in my spine by the height of the boot made what was already a very sore back even worse almost immediately.The even up was super easy to use. It took no time to adjust to the correct height and securely fitted to my shoe in seconds. The relief on my spine was instant, along with a much improved sense of balance and steadiness on my feet. It's also handily shaped to fit either the left or right foot to remove any guesswork.After being fitted with the fracture boot, I could move slowly on both feet with the aid of crutches for extra balance and some weight support. The even up improved that experience further, helping me to adjust much quicker to wearing the boot and gain confidence that bit faster. Would definitely recommend.

This Even-Up shoe raiser is exactly what I needed.
I've been using this medium size Even-Up every day for nearly a fortnight so far, and expect to need it for another 6 weeks. So far it has been brilliant and I'm really glad I got it. Advertised as size UK 7-9, my trainer is a UK 6.5 but it fits perfectly. I'd originally tried the small Even-Up (size UK 3.5-7) but it was dangerously too small, both in length and width, so that had to be returned.I'm currently wearing a medical AirCast boot due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, so my left foot is currently about 2" taller than my right foot. I initially thought this Even-Up was still a fraction shorter than I'd like, even using all the layers, however I've got used to it now. It means that I can walk and stand without feeling that my hips and back are out of alignment. I had just over a week with the boot before I got an Even-Up, and in this time I had occasional aches in my lower back and also under the ball of my right foot if I tried to walk or stand without the crutches.The Even-Up allows me a lot more independence as I can now walk without crutches, well as normally as you can without being able to flex one of your ankles! I do have to walk slower than my usual brisk pace, but that is more due to the boot (which has an internal high heel) than the Even-Up.It has plenty of grip on the bottom sole, and I haven't had any problems with my trainer slipping out of the Even-Up, it feels very secure.However - fair warning - in the early days I had a couple of occasions where I misjudged the height of my new platform sole while walking in the house, and I caught / stubbed it against the thicker carpet, due to not lifting my foot up high enough. To stop myself from falling I automatically bent my left leg slightly - which then felt like it pulled my calf a tiny bit, not good in the circumstances... To be fair though, I haven't had that since, I suppose it is just being careful while you get used to it (don't get overconfident too early).Price wise, I'll be using this Even-Up for about 8 weeks in total so it works out about £4 per week. I'm happy this is value for money considering the benefits I've described.I would definitely recommend using this, but do make sure you get the correct size for your shoe - check the chart giving measurements in mm/cm rather than just shoe sizes, since some trainers (like mine) have a larger than expected sole.In case it helps, I've measured the sole of my UK 7-9 size Even-Up: the width is 8.5cm at the narrowest point and 11cm at the widest point, and it is 30cm long.

Good, but takes a while to get used to
I bought this as I’ve recently had an operation on my Achilles tendon and have been in a cast for 6 weeks. I’m now starting to weight bear and have an air boot which is at least 3cm high. Upon walking with the crutches, I noticed that the opposite hip was giving me pain so decided to try this out to even my foot height. Initially, I found it really awkward. It’s not particularly flexible which you need on your good foot and it feels quite clumpy, but after taking out one of the insoles, it felt more comfortable. I’m pleased I bought it as it does even my gait/height and am definitely getting less hip pain.

Good Fit and height
I am size 11.5 UK. This fits me just fine. Highly recommend. Helps me walk almost as normal alongside the boot. Just beware of bumping into lampshades at home like me. It adds inches to your height.

Sizing is inaccurate
These come up very small. I ordered a UK 7 to 9 for a size 8 shoe but it's way too small. Ordered a UK 10 to 14 and that fits an 8 OK but doubtful if would it be right on anything larger. Photo shows the 10 to 14 on a size 8 shoe. Functionally they work; if the sizing had been more accurate I'd have given it 5 stars.

A must if in a recovery boot
A must for people in a Vacoped boot or Aifcast boot. Makes walking comfortable and provides a good balance.

Not good enough
I brought this to go with the vacoped boot I’ve been wearing for an achilles rupture . I brought the medium as my trainers are a size 8 and it said it was up to a size 9 . No chance it only just fitted my size 8 . Also it’s supposed to level you up and it doesn’t it’s still too short. Could do with extra attachments as well as the ones it comes with . So I’m still limping be careful as it’s not any good with the thicker sole boots .

Lop sided walker
I don't know how people survive without a shoe leveller when wearing an orthopaedic boot and using crutches. The injury is a real nuisance but the Evenup has at least meant that I can walk without looking lop sided and damaging my hip. Works a treat.
