Original EVENup™ Shoe Balancer/Leveler - Equalize Limb Length and Reduce Body Strain While Walking (Small)

Evenup works great! makes it so much easier to walk around with cam walker boot! I tried the 1" height first (both layers of sole) and thought it was slightly high. then I removed the top layer. (velcro attaches it from toe to heel, so it's easy to peel off.) the silicone straps are easy to stretch or roll backwards to put my shoe in, then I just roll or release them around all sides of my shoe. a narrow velcro strap fastens across the top of my foot.Most often I wear the size 38 sneaker in the photo and chose size small because the rest of my shoes are 7 or 7.5 US. it's easy to just leave the evenup fastened to my sneaker (which I slip off and on leaving the evenup in place). I like that there is a choice of heights. if I switch to another shoe that needs 1" height, then I can velcro the top layer back in. I'm pleased that the sole doesn't really stick out past the sole of my shoe. I might trip over the edges if it stuck out. YMMV based on size and shoe profile. evenup is easy, lightweight, secure, and ingenious!the last time I had to wear a boot I was stuck with it for a few months. it really pulls on my knee and hip and back to have to wobble back and forth in uneven footwear. at that time I selected my shoe that was most nearly the same height as the boot, added a thin insole to the boot, and wore only that shoe and boot. even up works really well with athletic or lace up style casual shoes with soles lower than the boot sole height. I don't really have a different type of shoe to test it with at this time.

This was a very helpful appliance, in that I had to previously wear a “boot” on my left foot for acute/severe tendinitis in my Achilles tendon for nearly 3 months, and I did not have any shoes for my right foot which were high enough to even out my stride. Consequently, I wound up with back and hip pain which I am still dealing with. However, shortly after, I had to wear a boot again on the same foot for another problem, but this time I had learned about the Evenup and utilized it for my right foot. It made a tremendous difference, as I did not experience the same uneven stride, so I experienced much less pain and a faster recovery. The appliance is easy to put on a variety of different styles of shoe, and the ability to change the height is very useful. It seem to stay on several types of shoe very well and I never had a problem with it coming off or apart. I only wish I had known about it years ago!

I used the leveler to “balance” my right side while walking with a boot on my left leg after foot/ankle surgery. It made walking a lot easier and avoided potential back problems that could result from overuse of the uninjured leg. Unfortunately my shoe size is “borderline” between Men’s Medium and Large. The Medium was much more secure but too small as my shoe overhung the leveler’s sole. The Large is a bit too big and has slipped off my foot several times. The single Velcro strap that goes across the top of the shoe doesn’t help keep the leveler in place very well, and the end of the strap overhangs the leveler and sticks out. It would be better if there were a place to anchor the end of the strap. Still the product is very good and helpful, and worth the money.

I seriously questioned if this product would work and what the quality would be. Let me just say, it changed my life while I have to wear a boot for my fractured foot. It is so easy to put onto my Nike sneaker. I didn't need the extra level that they also send with it. I just needed the basic Even up shoe leveler. It fit my sneaker perfectly. I am a size 6 1/2 sandal and wear a 7 sneaker. I got the small. It is solid and does not shift as I walk. I was worried about that. I can actually walk almost as if I am not wearing a boot! No limp other than stiffness in the leg I have my boot on. But I swear I walk almost as normal as before. My lower back is no longer in pain from walking unevenly. But it's my spirits that are the most healed from this product. I don't feel like a gimp anymore. I suggest this product wholeheartedly. Whoever came up with this, THANK YOU!. And thanks to my podiatrist for giving me the flyer telling me about this. Get it!

A friend of mine recommended the EVENUP when she realized I was in a boot for a stress fracture in my foot. I did not even know there was such a product, so I was super excited to get one and try it out. I am a shoe size 6.5, I figured with the wide range of shoes (5.5-8.5) that it covered, it might be a bit big and awkward, but I was pleasantly surprised that is fits great! It evens out my legs and has taken all the pressure off my hip. This product is a GAME Changer if you are in a boot!! I told my orthopedic today that she should be offering these in her office or at least recommending them!

While the product works well with a few of my shoe options, it does not work well with some. The sneakers that I was wearing before the leveler arrived didn't even fit into the product. With many of my shoes the back of the leveler wouldn't stay up and in place. Definitely helped, though, with the shoes that fit into the leveler and didn't flop off the back.
