Reddit mentions of Warwick Enterprises Adjust A Heel Lift, Small (Pack of 2)

I got diagnosed by an ortho when I tried to start a running program and couldn't even do 5 minutes on a treadmill without getting a month of hip pain after. So.. yeah. Wearing a lift actually allows me to run.

I love being barefoot, but c'est la vie, if I want to run, or really do anything on my feet without pain, some form of shoe is a necessity.

For running I wear minimalist shoes. In the summer it's vibram women's 5 finger shoes that look like flats and are super-lightweight. When it's colder I wear Merrell Vapor Gloves, and when it's really cold and snowy I wear Merrell trail gloves. My toes go numb easily in cold weather, but I wear the most lightweight shoes I can get away with. I have a pair of Xero Prios on the way to try. I wear the 5 fingers to the gym as well. I go to a crossfit gym where I've seen people lift barefoot, so they're cool with it and that's nice.

For yoga and tumbling classes I wear a Nike studio wrap on my short leg with the lift in that. (I use this sort of lift, it fits great in the studio wrap and doesn't compromise foot movement.) So, one foot is barefoot, and the other has a very lightweight low-coverage thing.

I ran for years with regular shoes before going minimalist. I used to get hip and knee pain flare-ups on the regular, but they've completely stopped now that I've switched to minimalist shoes (years ago) so, yep, making my feet learn to land more softly and absorb the impacts in a functional way has definitely been helpful for me.
