How long after your able to walk okay do you think it would be okay to use shoe lifts. Im not talking about elevator shoes that adds absurd amounts like 4-5 inches. You wont be able to walk right even before surgery with that. I use 4 cm insoles so Im hopeful I can combine it right away with my new height.

I have not done it yet im saving up the money. I realize that still wearing lifts could be bad mentally but it would stop me from wanting to do more gains in surgery or a second one. I have worn lifts for 8 years and never worried about getting  discovered. The key is not to go beyond what you can walk normally. I use 4 cm insoles which work great for me while 3 inch elavator shoes I had made me look like a retard walking. I hope what kaiser said about the nail is not true. I would bot use the lifs of course until I am able to walk unassisted. Maybe a LL veteran can awnser this question.

Normal shoes but I go to church and it would mean using something like this.

Right I definitely wont wear lifts after surgery right away. Probably wait 3 months after consolidation to wear them in church and then maybe a year after I can start using them more.

The problem was not the heel. I was wearing elavator shoes before which made me walk funny. Those same people would be supicious if they saw a heel bigger than the size of a normal dress shoe. With my insoles I walk normally and they don't suspect as the shoe looks normal. I must say that im starting to feel pain in my calfs but I think its more do to me gaining so much weight in all my years of using them never felt pain in my calfs before until know.

I think of you wear excessive ones like wome. Do 4 inch could affect spine. I have 8 years using them never had back pain.
