NLLB has funded, purchased and shipped 3 pairs of lift-shoes to Tony, who suffered a hip dislocation and later had a hip replacement. His leg is 2.5 inches shorter on the right since surgery. We have had 3 different bases made for him in these shoes. Due to the climate and humidity, we needed materials that could withstand the wet environment. We also needed to try different types of bases, gradual and full 2.5" platforms. Tony is now walking without a limp and has 3 pair of good quality shoes that will last him for a long time!
