These insoles are magical. Seriously, though, I had my first painless run in months after using these. Before using the Protalus insoles, I had ankle pain during and after my runs. I also had persistent plantar fasciitis. I could tell the difference with the very first run. I look forward to using my second pair when I play tennis.

by Adri Sahagun • January 15, 2018I have plantar faciitis that comes and goes and peripheral neuropathy that is always there, so walking could be pretty miserable. I need to walk and do other exercises and tried a few other commercially available orthotics (Dr Scholl's and Super Feet). They just didn't do the trick. They would help with arch support, but not overall foot support.

by Adri Sahagun • January 12, 2018I developed plantar fasciitis and bunions a few years ago. They flared up after I started a DVD exercise program. I'd been a jogger for over 40 years, and needed to stop that. Walking more than a quarter mile was painful to the ball and heals of my feet, to the point of tears in my eyes...

by AJ Brown • January 11, 2018This product absolutely worked for me! I have plantar fasciitis and have tried several remedies from custom foot prosthetic inserts from a podiatrist to over-the-counter foot inserts. Nothing really worked and my pain seemed to move to different areas of my foot. I saw an ad for the Protalus insert that touted the benefits of foot alignment as a remedy for plantar fasciitis. I was very skeptical but after reading many favorable reviews of the product on various websites, I decided to buy a pair and try it. I followed the instructions to start wearing the Protalus insert only for a couple of hours daily and.....

by Austin Sahagun • January 09, 2018I am an avid runner and all around very active person. I have had problems with my feet, lower back and finally plantar fasciitis, so I sought out help, and I ended up going to Good F**t in town a couple of years ago and spent over $700 on inserts. They appeared to help, but after a couple of months, it was too uncomfortable to wear them any longer, so I was back to the drawing board. I googled plantar fasciitis to read up about it, and through the brilliance of algorithms, Facebook introduced me to Protalus. I thought what the hell I'll give them a try. I have been wearing the Portalus inserts for.....

by Adri Sahagun • December 20, 2017All 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...

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 • December 04, 2017Throughout nursing school, I battled debilitating heel pain. I went to the podiatrist and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. I could hardly stand 12 hour clinical due to heel pain causing foot pain, then calf pain, then thigh pain...I could hardly walk which makes it hard to function as a nurse. I read about Protalus and decided to give it a shot...

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.
