After years of suffering from heels spurs and plantar fasciitis and buying every type of insole I could find with no relief, I just happened to run across this facebook page and thank goodness I did. I ordered a pair and let me just say wow. I took them out of the box and thought they did not look like much, how was this going to help me? I work 80 hours some weeks and sometimes walk 27,000 steps a day. The pain I had before in my feet, knees, and legs would...

I have been suffering from planters fasciitis for three years, and I had tried several insoles, some are the short kind, and they move as you walk and are not comfortable, the ones that are long are bulky, and the shoes feel tight, but none of them gave me the relief they promised, I ordered the Protalus Insoles I use every day, they fit in my tennis shoes perfectly, I started using them as soon as I got them and the pain disappeared. I love them; I use them with different shoes I can't live without them.

These insoles are the best thing ever! I was getting so frustrated with Plantar Fasciitis pain. I suffered on and off for over three years; I almost gave up the Jazzercise that I enjoy so much. I tried numerous brands of sneakers, Under Armor, Nike, Asics & Muzino. I also tried various insoles by Doctor Scholls, Finish Line and a pair from a doctor. Nothing was helping until one day I came across Protalus on my FB newsfeed. I have been wearing my their insoles in my Muzinos for over a year now. Thank you Protalus For saving me and keeping me pain-free for over one year now!! So, If you're considering trying these "GO FOR IT" you won't regret it.

After injuring my feet playing basketball wearing the wrong footwear, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. Not wanting to spend hundreds on custom inserts thought I would try these Protalus inserts out. I read the reviews how people got instant relief and were out running marathons. That was not my case. I got the first generation inserts, and I could tell they were helping, but no miracle cure. Since they were helping some, I decided to get a second pair for my other shoes. I got a pair of the new inserts. The first few days....

My insoles came in the mail yesterday. I put them in my shoes last night. OH, THE DIFFERENCE THEY DO MAKE!

A little of my history I am a 16-year law enforcement officer. I am currently assigned to our courthouse. My job utmost is to protect the judge. So I stand relatively close to the judge. Some people see this Judge shows on TV, and it last for an hour, and it's all over. For those who do not know it's at a minimum of eight hours day. I have been as late as two in the mor ning deal with the court. So my point is....

Hi, I had been buying/trying various insoles to help my "newly" developed plantar fasciitis last fall. Once I started wearing YOUR insoles, my heels hurt less and less. I wear them in my work shoes (I am on my feet 7 hours a shift). I have them in my athletic shoes for my TRX classes. I just started putting them in my cycle shoes for my indoor Real Ryder classes as I do not want to injure my hip joint which had been bothering me (probably from NOT enough support in the shoe). I will always buy Protalus insoles. I wasted enough money on all the other less expensive brands!

I received my first pair yesterday and I've only had my inserts in my shoes for 5 hours, but I can already feel the pain is so much less! I'm so excited and hopeful that these will be the answer I've looked for. I'm looking forward to seeing how wearing them long-term will go for my my chronic P.F.! -Thankful & Hopeful

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...

I have had Plantar Fascia's problems on and off for 20 years. These inserts put my feet in a neutral position which has eliminated my problem. I also had Morton's Neuroma which caused problems. Getting your foot neutral and adequate width in the toe of my shoes has helped that also.

So glad I decided to give these a try! I have been in so much pain with plantar this past year. I have had shots, night splints, compression socks, stretching, ice, orthotics everything under the sun. Nothing helped. I put these in, and after the break-in period, I am down to wearing my night splint only when I overdo it. Being able to stand up and walk in the morning without pain is the best feeling ever. So happy I can run and afterward there is little to no pain. Thank you so much for your product!

My heal hurts. I have not been able to run for the last month and a half due to severe pain in my heel. I bought these inserts without any idea how they would perform...kind of expensive, but they were amazing. I bought two more. Plantar Fasciitis can kiss my butt. Really, they work as advertised. Customer service is great. Good product.
