I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for about the last two years basically from not wearing the proper shoes and support. I would often have pain in my heel to the point of barely being able to walk. Also, I'd have pain on the top and side of my foot. Knee pain would typically follow from tendinitis. This went on for quite some time with only relieve from pain medication and rest. I saw that the ad for Protalus Insoles said...........

I have had chronic Achilles tendinitis since 2003 when the tendon separated from the bone. I got to the point where I just accepted that pain was just now a part of my life. When your ad popped up in my feed, I was a bit skeptical but figured I'd try them and return them if they didn't work. I've been wearing them for two weeks now.....

Simply put: I put these into my shoes, boots and sneakers, and my daily foot and lower back pain goes away.

My wife turned me on to these inserts and they are great! I was in pain from a pulled muscle on my right side and have fallen arches. She had me try an insert in my right shoe and it helped right away by giving me arch support. I now have one of my own - use it in all my shoes.

I went to The Good Feet Store and spent $300 on their partial shoe inserts. I was told by the sales lady that if they didn't work in 15 days to bring them back, so I did. They were causing me pain in my knees plus my feet were still hurting when I wore them. I complained to American Express, but because I signed their receipt that said "No Refunds" American Express denied any further action. Thus, #StayFarAwayFromTheGoodFeetStore. Subsequently, I saw Protalus advertised on Facebook, and I decided to try them....

I have been wearing the second generation insoles for a week or two now, and my feet feel a lot better. On concrete for over 10 hours in the MTU factory with that being very many steps with not being able to sit down ever. So your feet or back will not be pain-free, but these work as good or better than the custom made ones from the foot doctor. I have one or two coworkers that just started wearing them and like them. I am showing others and passing the word about these insoles. Thanks, Gregg

I ordered these a few weeks ago, but they were on back order. Monday 8/15/16 I received them and immediately took my shoes off at work and put them in. I have plantar very to the point that it is affecting my bone structure. My orthopedic said that plantar usually doesn't show up on an MRI, but mine is so bad it did. At one point he put me in a boot which through off my gait and made my knee on the other leg hurt. Anyway, Monday was an especially painful day for some reason, so I was glad to get them. The heal pain was very bad that day. I put them in around noon hoping for relief. By the end of the day, I could tell I was going to like them. Now it's been...

by Austin Sahagun • February 28, 2017I'm a 25 year law enforcement veteran and work 12 hour shifts. The Protalus have been a lifesaver for me. I was using other higher end orthotics for about ten dollars less, but the difference in quality and support (both physical and customer) is readily apparent in this companies model. They last about 4-6 months with fairly heavy use. The first pair lasted about 3 1/2 months but I started wearing them almost every day. I have three pairs.....

I work in an auto parts store where the average shift is 9 hours. Pounding the concrete that long takes its toll on my feet. I have had stabbing pain in the top of my foot sometimes preventing me even walking. I took a chance that these would help and they have exceeded my expectations. There are 4 or 5 spots on my feet, ankles, knees and lower back that hurt almost all the time. These have all gone after wearing these for only a week. I know everyone's situation is different but there worked wonders for me.

As somebody who works outdoors on a rough, uneven ground for long periods of time, day in and day out, I'm no stranger to pain. It got so bad I'd walk with a limp from the intense pain in my feet, legs, and lower back. I tried foot rubs, soaking with Epsom salts, different shoes....nothing helped. I ordered these inserts because I felt I had nothing to lose. I've wasted way more money on other things that didn't work. The instructions said to only wear them for an hour or two then take them out. After a few hours, put them back in for a little longer period and slowly, over the course of a few days, work up to wearing them all day. Well...I installed them into my work boots, and I could instantly feel a lessening of my pain. By the end of the second hour.....

I do pest control for a living, and walk many miles per day on every type of surface imaginable. A couple of years ago I started having some heel pain, and then started to have ball of foot pain as well. I have worn Superfeet for many years, and thought they were great. I always thought the pain was from my work boots. Last year I purchased a pair of your insoles, and have been wearing them for about a year! All my pain disappeared!!! My insoles recently; after wearing them for entire year started to wear out; which I could tell in my feet, so I tossed them in the trash, and........

Patented Technology Makes It Possible
The difference lies in our patented TRI-Planar technology. Other insole companies place a stump under the arch and call it support. Our insoles focus on the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms, designed to help your body maintain a neutral ankle joint position, while still allowing full ranges of healthy movement. Proper joint alignment improves movement efficiency, reduces fatigue, and prevents injury to help you do what you love.
Reduced Risk of Injury
The bones of the ankle and heel are most stable when they are positioned in alignment. If they shift away from a center alignment, they become less stable.
Imagine pressure being placed on those unstable structures over and over again while you walk, run, or work. That is where the injuries can take place.
Injuries can present as chronic pain in the foot, knees, hips, and back. They may also include acute injuries such as an ankle sprain.
Keeping your hindfoot in alignment allows not only your bones but also the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments to properly handle the pressure placed on them from your feet through your back.
Better Balance
Your ankles and feet work together to manage how weight is distributed as you move
If your heels and ankles are not in their proper positions, they cannot properly distribute weight and this may lead to a less stable walking motion.
When your ankles and heels are out of alignment, your muscles, ligaments, and tendons often have to step in to ensure proper alignment and balance.
When these muscles become fatigued, they may not be able to handle the task properly and you become more likely to fall or become injured.
Increased Energy Efficiency
As you walk and move, your kinetic energy moves from your feet up through your body.
This energy can be seen when walking in sand. Sand kicks up behind you with each step. It is moved by the energy created when you move your foot.
Fatigued muscles don't pass as much of that energy onto the next structure. That is why walking in sand is tiring; energy is being lost and your muscles become fatigued.
An aligned kinetic chain allows the highest quantity of energy to be transferred up through your body, giving you more power and helping you feel less tired.
Better Pressure Distribution
The body is designed to distribute pressure so that your muscles can primarily be concerned with movement.
When the skeletal system becomes misaligned, especially at the joint between the heel and ankle, pressure is no longer distributed across the structures that are most able to deal with it.
Instead, other structures, such as the ligaments in the knees, hips, and ankles, must take on the job and that can lead them to become fatigued, sore, or injured.
Protalus insoles correct the misalignment so you can avoid fatique and injury.
