by Adri Sahagun • September 11, 2017As a medical professional, I dealt with athletes for 38'years. I always stressed the importance of proper alignment of the kinetic chain especially in distance running athletes.. After retirement I started suffering foot, ankle and medial knee pain from running all my life.

by chris meyers • September 11, 2017Fantastic! I didn't have any foot or leg pain before purchasing them, but I could definitely feel the difference using these inserts. From running on the treadmill to walking my dog, in just two days I can feel a difference in that my legs and feet aren't as tired.

by Adri Sahagun • September 05, 2017I’ve had problems for a long time. I have mild neuropathy and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I play golf a lot, and travel a lot so I thought this was worth looking into for pain relief in my feet. Mild Neuropathy is a nerve problem, generally associated with people that are diabetic. My arthritis issues started probably 10 years ago after knee replacement surgery. I’ve been dealing with this for the last 10 years, trying different solutions and the Doctors said this is something you have to live with...

by Adri Sahagun • September 01, 2017I ordered these insoles for my husband. He works in a hospital and is on his feet 8-10 hours per day. After wearing them the first full day, he could feel a considerable difference in his knees. He states that his feet no longer feel tired at the end of the day...

by Adri Sahagun • August 30, 2017I want to say how happy I was to meet Stacy Matthews at our National Ergo Conference. I was able to obtain 2 pairs of insoles, 1 for me and one for my SO. I can't wear mine yet as I'm scheduled for knee surgery, but my SO loves his. He has always struggled with back and arch pain. He started using the insoles and no longer has pain like he used to....

by Adri Sahagun • August 24, 2017I purchased a pair for my husband, as I was often nagging him about his posture and gait. He had stopped using his custom orthotics as they were uncomfortable. WOW! He loved these... so much so he asked me to order a second pair within two days of receiving the first pair...

by AJ Brown • August 23, 2017Instant results. Better than the cork German brand inserts I've been using by leaps and bounds. Size 13- don't even need to trim them!

by Adri Sahagun • August 21, 2017Just returned from a backpacking trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. Our crew hiked close to 10 miles each day for a week on rocky, muddy, uneven terrain in wet and dry conditions. I carried a 35lb. backpack plus 4L of water and 3 days worth of food at a time and I only weigh 100lb. My feet had been aching on our weekend practice hikes leading up to the trip and I was concerned how they would hold up for more consecutive days. I also tend to have an issue with alignment which affects my right hip.

by Adri Sahagun • August 21, 2017My husband has very bad heel spurs. He went to the doctor and they gave him a pair of insoles, after one month he had shredded them as a janitor at the local school. Very worried about having to have surgery. I bought him a new pair hoping it would help; didn't do any good. Then Protalus showed up on my Facebook feed.

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.

“I love them. Before discovering these Protalus inserts I’d experience severe knee pain. With wearing Protalus inserts in every pair of shoes I own I no longer have any knee pain. I don’t wear shoes without them.” -Donald E.L.
