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…

I love my Protalus insoles. I honestly did not believe an insole bought online could be of benefit to me. I was desperate, though. I have Achilles tendinitis and pretty bad back pain from bulging disks. I have worn them away from home three times now, and I was so wrong. The best test was today at the mall Christmas shopping. Any shopping usually leaves me in so much pain. Heel pain and the bad back worse than ever. I am tired but it doesn't hurt my feet at all, and my back is even in less pain than usual. Amazing. I have a dear friend....

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…

by Adri Sahagun • January 08, 2018I had gotten quite overweight. (Over 300 pounds) My hips and knees were hurting, and it had become a vicious cycle, where it was hard to keep moving because of the pain. But the pain was worse because, without movement, it was much harder to lose any weight. When I took a job in a healthcare facility, more movement became NECESSARY. I bought new shoes, and discovered these insoles on my Facebook feed and decided to give them a try.

I have a herniated disc, as well as a bulging disc in my lower back. I had been fighting excruciating pain for a while and wearing a back brace at work, and sometimes even at home to try and alleviate some of the pain, because it never would go away completely, no matter what I did. I was also taking 800 MG of ibuprofen every 6 hours, and even that wasn't helping. My doctor prescribed different meds for me that I did not want to take, and I even had shots in my back. I decided to try Protalus...

Yes, I have given these inserts a rating of 5. I had PF for over a year, but that is not why I now wear them. I have tried two other types of inserts one were Perfect Feet, and the other an insert purchased from my chiropractor ... The insert from my chiropractor ( I quit going) caused me hip pain and caused an off gait. The insert over rotated my left foot. I since have had ankle discomfort and low back pain. I visited a podiatrist who suggested " Custom made Orthotics. The cost would have...

by Adri Sahagun • November 29, 2017My husband has suffered for years and years with hip pain, leg pain, and foot pain. I said let’s try Protalus. I bought him a pair of insoles, he loves them and no longer has foot pain, leg pain, back pain or hip pain. They really have helped him tremendously.

by Adri Sahagun • November 14, 2017I have been plagued by a herniated disk as well as a bone spur in my right foot. My nights have been spent in semi-sleep due to pain in my hips, foot and back. My podiatrist recommended that I get arch supports. I have tried several other brands, but the arch support was not enough. After searching the internet I came across the Protalus supports...

I have a son who lives close by with his wife and baby and I’ve been married for 37 years. I heard about Protalus on Facebook. I shattered T12 in my back in 1998 and have permanent nerve damage in my left foot which makes walking barefoot impossible. I was numb from the waist down until I had my surgery. I spent a year in recovery

I am a 63 year old wife, mom and grandma. I’ve been a stay at home Mom and Grandma. I’m on my feet all day because I work all day around the house, I don’t sit around and watch soap operas all day. Because of my back and spinal issues I’ve had to wear athletic shoes most of the time.

by Adri Sahagun • November 02, 2017These insoles are the best that I have ever used. I have issues with back pain and am on my feet all day. These have helped and I don’t hurt anymore after a long day of work. I would recommend these to everyone!

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.
