I've always had to carry two pairs of shoes with me...especially at work. Anytime I'm on my feet for more than 4-5 hours (which, as an RN, busy mom and health coach, is often) my arches, ankles, knees and lower back start hurting and I need to switch shoes just to make it through the rest of the day. I have every shoe imaginable and was convinced that…

I love my Protalus insoles. I honestly did not believe an insole bought online could be of benefit to me. I was desperate, though. I have Achilles tendinitis and pretty bad back pain from bulging disks. I have worn them away from home three times now, and I was so wrong. The best test was today at the mall Christmas shopping. Any shopping usually leaves me in so much pain. Heel pain and the bad back worse than ever. I am tired but it doesn't hurt my feet at all, and my back is even in less pain than usual. Amazing. I have a dear friend....

Having served in the United States Army as an Infantrymen and being deployed two times to Iraq the consequences of patrolling day and night and carrying loads of gear caused massive damage over time, and my body was a mess. Before the Army I was a marathon runner, compiling 100 marathons since the age of 13-teen-years old. After getting wounded in combat…

I had gotten quite overweight. (Over 300 pounds) My hips and knees were hurting, and it had become a vicious cycle, where it was hard to keep moving because of the pain. But the pain was worse because, without movement, it was much harder to lose any weight. When I took a job in a healthcare facility, more movement became NECESSARY. I bought new shoes, and discovered these insoles on my Facebook feed and decided to give them a try.

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...

My husband has suffered for years and years with hip pain, leg pain, and foot pain. I said let’s try Protalus. I bought him a pair of insoles, he loves them and no longer has foot pain, leg pain, back pain or hip pain. They really have helped him tremendously.

I have been plagued by a herniated disk as well as a bone spur in my right foot. My nights have been spent in semi-sleep due to pain in my hips, foot and back. My podiatrist recommended that I get arch supports. I have tried several other brands, but the arch support was not enough. After searching the internet I came across the Protalus supports...

I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m the chairman of a Chevrolet dealership and have been there for 39 years. I have a son who lives close by with his wife and baby and I’ve been married for 37 years. I heard about Protalus on Facebook. I shattered T12 in my back in 1998 and have permanent nerve damage in my left foot which makes walking barefoot impossible. I was numb from the waist down until I had my surgery. I spent a year in recovery

I am a 63 year old wife, mom and grandma. I’ve been a stay at home Mom and Grandma. I’m on my feet all day because I work all day around the house, I don’t sit around and watch soap operas all day. Because of my back and spinal issues I’ve had to wear athletic shoes most of the time.

These insoles are the best that I have ever used. I have issues with back pain and am on my feet all day. These have helped and I don’t hurt anymore after a long day of work. I would recommend these to everyone!

Over the course of 15 years, I have done everything to help stay active without being in constant pain. Since wearing my Protalus Insoles I have been pain-free..
