Whether it is a simple shoe lift or the most complex modification; if it can be done, Ian can do it.

Common Modifications

• Stretching: to improve the fit of a shoe

• Balloon patches: to increase the room in the shoe and reduce the pressure on sensitive areas

• Sole splits: to increase the width of the sole up to 3/8″

• Excavations: to reduce the pressure on sensitive areas

• Reinforcements: to strengthen an area and reduce premature wear

• Flares and buttresses: to strengthen the shoe, widen the base of support and stop the foot from distorting the shoe

• Rocker soles: to relieve pain in the ball of the foot, aggressively offload certain areas of the foot or to improve gait by aiding the heel contact or push off phase of gait

• Lifts: to accommodate leg length differences

• Internal Modifications: to provide relief when a custom made foot orthotic is not possible
