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...

I used to be an avid runner (about 30 miles a week). However for the last four years that has slowly declined, thanks to plantar fasciitis. I tried everything from custom insoles to special shoes; I could still run about twice a week but had to contend with aching knees and had to spend several hours icing and massaging my feet. Even after spending thousands on various "relief" I still found none.

When I came across Protalus on my Facebook feed and saw the reviews, I thought this was just another gimmick product. With great hesitation, I ordered a pair of the Protalus insoles S in December and have used them for a few weeks now.

With these insoles, I have been able to run a couple of miles five times a week and am working towards building back up to five miles a day, and the best part - no knee pain and I have not iced or massaged my feet since I started using these insoles.

Protalus may or may not work for everyone, but it definitely worked for me. If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, I would recommend at least giving it a try.
