Description

Perfect for those new to barefoot footwear, our heel lift tapers from 4mm at the heel down to 1mm in the midfoot, providing a slight wedge to help reduce strain on the Achilles tendon and calf muscles. This supports a smoother and more sustainable transition to barefoot shoes.

It’s also ideal for managing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, or aiding post-injury recovery.

Designed specifically to fit the width of barefoot-style shoes meaning it has enhanced stability, this 4mm silicone heel lift also delivers a secure fit with its adhesive backing.

Crafted from high-quality silicone, the lift is flexible to preserve natural foot movement while offering excellent compression resistance for long-term durability. Engineered for seamless integration into our footwear, it delivers targeted support without compromising fit or mobility.

FAQ

Q: Do your shoes fit true to size? Can I order my normal size?

As there are inconsistencies between different brands, it’s not always reliable to rely on ordering your usual size. We’d always recommend using our Size Guide to check the fit and avoid unnecessary returns, especially as our barefoot-style shoes do fit slightly larger than other brands offering this kind of product. Please read our other FAQs for more insight into sizing.

Q: I’m between sizes, which should I go for?

If you’re looking at our Recharge style we suggest going for the size up.

On all other styles, we suggest going for the size down.

Another great option is to take advantage of our 'modular fit' Most Bahé shoes can be worn with or without the insole, or indeed with two insoles. Should you need some more space and increased ground feel, slip the insoles out. If you need a more snug fit and slightly more cushioning then pick up a pair of our insoles here.

Q: Are all your shoes the same sizing?

No, we have some different fits, so check the size chart that corresponds with the shoe you’re ordering.

Q: Is there a difference between the mens and womens sizing?

We have different size charts as the same shoes are considered different sizes between men and women in the US and Australia. The fit of both mens and womens shoes is the same.

Q: How much room should I have in front of my toes?

This is personal preference, however we suggest between 5-10mm. A good way to check is to put on a pair of shoes that fit you well and assess the space you have on these. You can do this whilst wearing the shoes, or even slip the insole out and place your foot on them with your heel at the back and check the space you have in front of your toes.

If checking the sandal size guide, please remember you’ll want space at the back of the footbed as well as the front.

Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall I do?

Not to worry, the next best thing is to stand against a wall and simply place your foot on a piece of paper and draw around it. Then to measure the length and ideally the width of your foot. Depending on preference, you’ll want around 5-10mm space in front of your toes, so check our size guide for the length that corresponds best with that.

A good tip is to draw around your foot whilst wearing the kind of socks you’d intend to wear with the shoes you’re ordering.

Q: The size guide keeps cutting off part of the shape when printing, what shall I do?

If the top part of the page printed OK then you can still check the width is a good fit. To check the length, we’d suggest following the method described in "Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall i do?”

Q: The size guide isn’t printing to scale, what should I do?

Without the correct scale the size guide won’t be useful for sizing purposes, but it’s always handy to be able to assess the general shape. To check your size we’d suggest following the method described in "Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall i do?”

Q: Should my foot match the length mentioned in the size chart?

No, you will need some space in front of your shoes. We’d suggest 5-10mm depending on preference.

The perfect tool for easing the transition to barefoot-style shoes and reducing load on the calf and Achilles tendon.

FAQs For Silicone Heel Lifts

Our heel lifts gently raise the heel to reduce strain on the calves and Achilles while maintaining a natural, minimalist feel. For people new to barefoot style shoes, using these as a tool to allow your calves and achilles to gradually adjust to the zero-drop (no raised heel) sole can help with a more sustainable and pain-free transition.

Heel lifts can also be useful for people looking to reduce the load on the calf and Achilles following injury.

We suggest that the heel lifts are used underneath your insoles. Here are the steps to installing your heel lifts:

Remove your insoles
Peel off the sticker on the back of the heel lift, revealing the adhesive surface
Place the heel lift adhesive side down in the shoe
Place the insole back on top

Yes, as the heel lift is only in the back section of the shoes, there is no impact on the 'Ground Flow System' which is located in the front of the shoes.

Yes, you can stack two heel lifts to create an 8mm lift. This may be favoured by somebody gradually transitioning from higher heel stack shoes or overcoming an injury where stress needs to be taken off the calf and Achilles tendon.

We carefully selected silicone as provides the a high degree of flexibility and high compression resistance. This means they move naturally with your feet and maintain performance over time.

Yes, they are specifically designed to work well with barefoot and minimalist footwear. They feature a wide fit to match the natural foot-shape of Bahé shoes, unlike most other heel lifts which are narrow and create instability.

The lift is very subtle and provides relief without significantly altering foot mechanics or ground feel.

Yes, they are designed for daily use, regardless of your activity.

Yes, they can help with plantar fasciitis by slightly reducing tension on the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, which may ease pain and support healing. Heel lifts however are not a cure-all, and many people find them helpful as part of a broader treatment plan including stretching, strengthening, and appropriate footwear.

Yes — a heel lift can help with Achilles tendinopathy by slightly reducing stretch and load on the Achilles tendon during walking and running. This can ease pain and support recovery. It’s often most effective as part of a comprehensive plan that also includes appropriate exercise, stretching, and guidance from a healthcare professional.

Heel lifts are great when you're transitioning to zero-drop, barefoot-style shoes or overcoming injury however as your body strengthens and adapts, you may decide to gradually remove them from your shoes. We'd recommend listening to your body. Gradually spend longer periods of time without the heel lifts during lower intensity activities. If yous calves and Achilles tendons are not sore, you can incrementally increase the duration and intensity of your activity until you feel comfortable no longer using the heel lifts.
