THAIPHUKET Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I want to help someone with a short leg. Step one: find the right orthopedist. Step two: find an experienced shoe maker. For budget reasons should be locals. Any suggestions? Edited January 13 by THAIPHUKET Incomplete post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleandGrumpy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 No idea here in Thailand. But back in Aust I found this 'industry' to be massively over-priced for basically shoe inserts. Certainly those with 'deformed' feet/legs need special shoes. But for the majority of us all that is needed is shoe inserts - which you can buy yourself and experiment with by wearing them and seeing how it goes. There are many high quality shoes that you can buy, and likewise there are cheap/nasty and good/quality inserts. I would say for inserts on-line is your best bet after researching the brands/models that work best for other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can shorten one leg and buy normal shoes or lengthen the other one. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luuk Chaai Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Is it truly a short leg ? Or is it that the hips are out a alignment? In that case a chiropractor can re-align Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
