Shoe Shims
Does anyone know where to get them? My left leg is shorter than the right and I wanna get some shims in my left shoe. I've wearing Sidi's if it matters, and I don't have a wide foot.

do a Froogle search on Lemond Lewedge and you will find several online stores that carry them. The are tapered from nearly nothing to just over 1mm. You can stack them alternating the taper if all you are correcting for is a difference in leg length.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I use these wedges on my left foot only, don't seem to have any problems since installation. It solved a problem I had with pronating of the knee.

I prefer these to the Lemond wedges, a solution under the footbed seems to make more sense to me (cleats gets replaced/moved and every time you replace you'd have to readjust the wedges). They have worked well for me. Also nice since you can swap them between shoes very easily.
