EVENup Overview
Who Uses This Product: Anyone who needs to level their hips during cast use or after a hip surgery.
Why You Will Love This Product: These orthotic boots were designed by foot and ankle specialists to help prevent the common issue of back pain caused by an uneven gait.
Walking with a cast or boot isn't just uncomfortable and awkward; it can often lead to back pain and hip pain. That is why two Florida podiatrists created the EVENup Shoe Balancer. This easy-to-use shoe lift helps raise the height of the foot on the wearer's good leg so the two sides become even. It can also be used in cases in which there is an actual leg length difference due to hip surgery or misalignment. In any case, even leg length helps prevent that uneven pressure on the back and hips caused by uneven leg length that so often leads to pain while walking.
The EVENup shoe lift easily stretches to fit over a shoe. It also has a horizontal strap that helps secure the balancer to the foot so there is no slippage. It works great for women whose shoe sizes are between sizes 5 through 11 or men whose shoe sizes range between 6 and 10.5. The manufacturer recommends purchasing a size that is slightly smaller than needed as opposed to slightly large.
