Any 25mm heel drop shoes on market?

Prob need to cut back half of a shoe sole off and gorilla/ super glue onto your favorite shoes. Totally doable.

You are like the Pre of footwear rebelling against minimal/lower heeled shoes.

You might try Mizuno Wave Enigma or Wave Creation. They have relatively high heel:forefoot ramps. You might still need a little heel lift, but they would certainly accommodate.

I'd suggest you look up shoes from either Hoka or Altra. These niche companies have shoes not constructed like your basic shoe, providing more variety.

Just man up and use minimalist shoes. There is no way running in 25mm offset shoes will no screw you up. Shins, much?

These shoes look like they have about a 25 mm drop at the heel:

Sounds like you are looking for a 25 mm heel rise though.

do you not understand what "zero drop" means? even hoka is only 4-5mm depending on shoe.

Add some lift to the brooks launch

Here you go:

I have a different problem, but my solution will work for you. I've used this approach for the past ten years.

Use a hard insert like the Superfeet insole. Cut a piece of craft's felt (an old t-shirt will do) to fit the heel area and duct tape it to the underside of the insert. That will add about 2mm to the heel lift. If you need more lift, you can add another layer of felt.

Instead of a Superfeet insert, you could just add the cloth layer to the underside of the heel of your existing orthotic.

Depending on the shoe, you can get 4-6mm of lift before this starts to raise your heel too high in the heel cup of the shoe.

Next, apply ShoeGoo to the heel of the shoe where the contact points are. No need to cover the entire heel. A half inch wide band on both sides on the heel and a bit on the back of the heel should do it. ShoeGoo flattens out as it dries, so you may have to do this a couple of times to get it high enough. I've raised the heel 10mm using this technique. You'll have to watch yourself running on ice or slick surfaces, but otherwise it has enough traction.

I've done this on LOTS of shoes over the years. Crafts felt is 20 cents for a 12x12 inch square at WalMart in the fabrics section. You can get it at any fabrics store. Buy a couple of bucks worth and it'll last you for the next 5-10 years. I use this stuff to add support to the arch area. It helps prevent pronation and plantar fasciitis.

Thanks very much for the great suggestions. Several of these are things I hadn't considered, but I will now.

For those who I might have confused, I should have written "heel to toe drop". Sorry about that.

Thanks again.
