Posted By Pierre de Carteret Following a hip replacement, where one of their legs is now slightly shorter than the other, the worker has requested adapted safety boots. Does anybody have any experience with adapting safety footwear through a cobbler rather than paying £400 plus getting it direct from a manufacturer? Don't have an issue paying that amount if it's the only way of getting the right equipment - but (as you can imagine) I would be a bit peeved if I found out later I could have got it done for £40 (a go) locally! Already excluded the option of gluing a block of wood to their soles - just in case that sprang to mind!!

Posted By Pierre de Carteret Unfortuanately the variation is nearly 2" so insoles are not enough. To make it worse we use 2 different types of boots for the operation so in a (typical) year we're looking at at least two pairs...
