At Derek’s we offer two types of orthopedic lift designs.
First, with a lift on top, we will add the lift to the outermost layer of the existing sole.
The second orthopedic lift design is an integrated lift, where we separate the existing sole material and insert the lift in between.
Please call the shop or stop by with the shoe you want augmented for more information.
