The width of the heel pocket, not the size of the shoe, determines the fit of a heel lift. The right size lift to order will fit closely in, or be slightly larger than, the width of the heel portion of your shoe, which you can easily measure across the inside of the shoe as shown.
Heel width will vary from one pair of shoes to another, and fitting may require trimming the lift. Clearly Adjustable heel lifts are easily trimmed smaller using scissors or a razor blade.
The width of the heel pocket in a pair of shoes is related to shoe width as well as to the size, so the shoe sizes shown below are only approximate.
The widths of the three sizes of lifts are:
