"They work as intended. I've never really purchased insoles before so they were my first... I work a 10-4 job at Amazon, and without them I can say that my feet are usually killing after the first 3 hours but after replacing my insoles with these babies, I didn't feel it til almost the end of my shift! [They are] worth investing into if you want to avoid discomfort for long hours of labor. "
-Andrew
The Protalus works program was designed to help your employees stay in alignment throughout their entire shift. This means a boost in productivity, comfort and stability for all Protalus users.
“I was working 8 hours on my feet and my back, feet, and hips were killing me... I wear Red Wing boots and I needed more support because I'm a heavier guy and these insoles didn't disappoint.”
Michael W.“The size was true to fit. Very comfortable. Working at Amazon walking all shift. They are fantastic.”
Anonymous, Zappos CustomerI currently have these in my shoes… They’re comfortable and have no issue with them. For someone who’s always on her feet during overnight shifts and Amazon giving these to use for free with just a QR code. Thumbs up.”
Ariel, Zappos CustomerAfter having knee, hip, and lower back pain I looked into new insoles for my work boots. After having them in for just 5 minutes I knew that they were going to be a life saver. These will be the only brand I ever buy again. Super happy!!”
Jodi C.“I’m on my second pair in my Kennetrek boots that I work in every day. I recommended to a co-worker that walks like I do in various terrain in construction. He ordered some and said WOW!! They are awesome!!! We walk about 5 to 8 miles per day”
Alan W.“These insoles really made a noticeable difference in the way my shoes felt. Before, they were a little uncomfortable. The insoles made a softer, more cushioned feel inside my shoes and I will continue to buy these for all my work shoes. I really like them.”

"The setup was simple and easy to manage. The information was helpful through the dashboard as well as the employee orders and submission tabs. I was able to quickly identify an issue in the location mapping tied to the QR code and we resolved it quickly and painlessly. The overall process was simple and employees received their insoles with minimal effort."
Heath Pomerantz, WowWash“The Protalus system works great, and our team is loving their inserts. Each person was able to quickly sign up and order inserts to be delivered directly to their home address or our company. Protalus shipped the items quickly and orders were in hand within one to two days.
Brian Leslie, Equipment DepotIt’s easy to continue adding the next “best” ergonomic support. But, these quick fixes only unlock a small portion of the potential an employee holds. Protalus insoles provide hindfoot control and tap into the body’s natural comfort system. You want to control your ankle, not just support what is there.
Protalus aligns the body. The user can tap into their body’s natural comfort system through alignment. This system alleviates discomfort, improves productivity, and continues benefiting the user for as long as a person wears the insoles.
Spend less time managing employee absenteeism and injuries and more time on the business you are passionate about. In less than three seconds, an employee can insert an insole, add comfort, and increase their performance.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“I love them. Before discovering these Protalus inserts I’d experience severe knee pain. With wearing Protalus inserts in every pair of shoes I own I no longer have any knee pain. I don’t wear shoes without them.” -Donald E.L.
