by Adri Sahagun • October 23, 2017These are the best thing I have ever ordered. I've had constant pain in my right front thigh, from hip to knee. The doctor says I have arthritis in my back that is causing it. I was recommended some exercises, stretches and a strong opiate. After 2 to 3 weeks of using the Portalus ET 75 my leg pain is completely gone.

by Adri Sahagun • October 11, 2017I’m an occupational health nurse, I’ve been working for 5 years, a nurse in general for 7 years. I currently work in a manufacturing facility with hundreds of employees. I live in Richmond, Washington. I grew up here and went to college in Washington. I lived in Idaho and then moved back here with my family because it’s a great place to raise the family. It’s a fantastic job and opportunity to focus on prevention rather than rally around some acute emergency in the typical nursing world.

by Adri Sahagun • October 03, 2017When I ordered my insoles, I had a lot of problems with my back, knees, ankles, and feet from psoriatic arthritis and SLE lupus. I received them about three weeks ago and put them in my crocs. I had previously used a Dr. Scholls machine that showed I put all my weight on my heels and the side of my feet away from the arch. As soon as I got my insoles I started wearing them. They were tight across the top of my arches. However, despite this discomfort, I knew I needed to persist in wearing them, viewing them in the same likeness as braces for your teeth. Within a week my arches stopped hurting.

I had developed severe plantar fasciitis and lower back pain. I tried stretching, injections and multiple inserts without success. I have been wearing Protalus M100 inserts for about a month now and the plantar fasciitis is gone..

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 • 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....

I can't believe it. It's like I am in a dream, the other day I made an appointment with my podiatrist because my feet were hurting so bad. He gave me one of those painful shots. Once again my feet continued to hurt, I am flat footed and have Plantar. I have been following this site for 2 years but was afraid of trying because of the price plus I figured that they would be like all the rest. Well March 26th I decided to take a chance...

No surgery or cortisone shots - these insoles work!
These insoles work really great for me! No more aching back or knees, I never thought it possible without surgery or cortisone shots every 6-12 months. This product has changed my life - I don't have any pain like I've had for I can't remember how many years now. I ordered this pair for my workboots.

Bought these last year when they did a hospital visit. I am a Nurse and a long time Runner with some back/knee issues; wear them at work and for my runs. I had both professionally fitted ones, where I paid $400 and other brands expensive and did not last. Loves these! These have....

I recently purchased a set of these insoles with the attitude that if they work cool if not they get added to the pile of failed tries. I own a landscaping company and I'm on my feet for hours, walk for miles and really put boots and insoles through the ringer. Anyways, I put the insoles in on a Monday and by Wednesday I could feel a serious improvement to my ankles, hips, and back. 100% improved. Look at your shoes, do you see the wear on the outside of the soles. Read Protalus recommendation they are on point. I'm at 2 weeks in work boots and I'm so satisfied and happy with this product.

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.
