I started training for my 3rd marathon in Aug 2017. I was in the best shape of my life: strong with only 18% body fat and was running faster than ever! I was determined to break 4 hours in this marathon. Then during a training run in early September, I hurt my foot somehow...

I had my doubts but they really work and work well. I had ball of foot pain on one foot after wearing worn out running shoes. I first tried new running shoes with better cushioning and got some improvement but not much.

35 years of motocross, rodeo, being an Ironworker, and coaching baseball has left me a little banged up... Last year in August I could barely walk... my knees hurt from the abuse and after 6 knee surgeries, I started compensating for the stiffness and that caused more back problems...

All I can say is I was extremely skeptical but I was out of options. I have been dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis for 12 years. 12 years!!! I have tried everything....exercises, losing weight, shockwave treatment, custom inserts from my foot doctor, high powered massager foot braces to sleep with, steroid shots and the list goes on. NOTHING got rid of this pain. NOTHING!!! At best the inserts kept the status quo. Being on my feet all the time being a retail manager didn't help either. I even considered invasive surgery as a last resort. Then I saw the ad for Protalus on FB. After reading about it I said why not. Since day 1, day 1, I have not had foot pain!!! Did I say since day 1? I can sleep at night without the braces and I walk during the day without my insert...no pain! I wake up.....no pain! I get home from work....no pain!!! This product is unreal!!!! I will always always recommend Protalus because it has made my life much better after 12 very long years and lots of $ not fixing the problem. THANK YOU!!!!
