Hello Gentlemen,

Thank you for your responses. I read through the AR manual and did find a lot of good information in there. To clarify, Blitz you said that I would need a lift built into my shoes. You are correct that this is neccesary to eliminate the entire leg length discrepancy. I currently only wear an inside the shoe orthotic with a 1/2 inch lift and this corrects enough to bring me to normal levels. My parents are both doctors, a chiropractor and a podiatrist, and I now fall within standard biomechanical ranges and have no symptoms from it; many people have leg length discrepancies due to hip displacement, arch problems, etc.

I guess my question boils down to: "Can I wear my inside the shoe orthotics during army training?"

Thank you again for providing such a valuable resource. I can go without the orthotics but it would really suck.

Ed
