Just got my inserts yesterday. I am on my feet all day and have been suffering from plantar fasciitis in my right foot for 9 months now... I am dancing on my way home today!

I absolutely love these inserts! I am on my feet all day and have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur all in the same foot. I am even wearing new shoes with these inserts and my feet feel amazing!!

I have a bone spur on my right heel and suffer from Plantar Fasciitis from time to time. I typically cannot be on my feet for more than 20 minutes to an hour. I'm a wildlife photographer and need to be able to stand still for long periods of time. This has proven to be a bit too difficult with my most comfortable boots and $400 custom orthotics. I recently bought a pair of Protalus M100 inserts with the hopes that something, just something, might be better.

My plantar fasciitis & heel spurs were really bothering me.  The M100 fits perfect in my hiking boots and sneakers. I’ve just put 49 miles on my feet  in 6 days!!

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for the past 9 months. I had gone to a foot doctor and he gave me a cortisone shot in my heel then sold me inserts for $200.00. I wore them and my foot was so painful...

From the moment I started using these, I've had absolutely no foot pain. Thinking the problem has always been with the shoes...

had a knee replacement 5 years ago, and occasionally have plantar fasciitis flare up in that leg due to the realignment. I tried over the counter arch supports that worked fairly well, but read about the benefits of Protalus insoles. Just received a pair of M75's...

After knee surgery a few years back and an MCL tear just a few months ago, I have chronic knee issues. I've been wearing nothing but shoes with these amazing insoles in them to help with my knee for the last few weeks straight. Today I grabbed a pair of shoes I wear less often and forgot to switch out the insole. I can feel my ankle breaking in hard…

I am an avid runner and all around very active person. I have had problems with my feet, lower back and finally plantar fasciitis, so I sought out help, and I ended up going to Good F**t in town a couple of years ago and spent over $700 on inserts. They appeared to help, but after a couple of months, it was too uncomfortable to wear them any longer, so I was back to the drawing board. I googled plantar fasciitis to read up about it, and through the brilliance of algorithms, Facebook introduced me to Protalus. I thought what the hell I'll give them a try. I have been wearing the Portalus inserts for.....

I've always had to carry two pairs of shoes with me...especially at work. Anytime I'm on my feet for more than 4-5 hours (which, as an RN, busy mom and health coach, is often) my arches, ankles, knees and lower back start hurting and I need to switch shoes just to make it through the rest of the day. I have every shoe imaginable and was convinced that…

Having served in the United States Army as an Infantrymen and being deployed two times to Iraq the consequences of patrolling day and night and carrying loads of gear caused massive damage over time, and my body was a mess. Before the Army I was a marathon runner, compiling 100 marathons since the age of 13-teen-years old. After getting wounded in combat…
