Hi Moda-
My leg length actually measures evenly, but PT and Dr both say that because my hip was painful for quite a length of time, my hips compensated and I have to “relearn” my stride. I do wear a small lift in my heal, but was told not to wear it around the house,etc.
PT is giving me some exercises to lengthen the short one. Agree with you that I would rather correct my uneven stride than wear the lift. The lift is not practical for a lot of my shoes.

That’s helpful to know that they told not to wear the heel lift full time. I’ll definitely talk to my Dr. a little more. I don’t want to make it worse. Thank you!
