by Adri Sahagun • August 06, 2018In 20 years I have gone from plantar fasciitis foot pain only when standing hours at a time to being forced to wear tennis shoes only and foot pain literally all day every day. Then my podiatrist found an extra bone in my ankles that were causing my tibial tendon damage. Surgery to remove the bone and repair to the tendon...almost a year and half later I still had foot pain all day, every day. This severely affected my quality of life...

by Adri Sahagun • August 03, 2018Just got my Protalus insoles last week - put them in my work shoes and noticed immediate relief! Usually, my right hip would lock up after walking even one block! But no more

by Adri Sahagun • July 13, 2018I 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...

by Adri Sahagun • July 12, 2018They made my favorite shoes comfortable, again! I’ve been recently wearing the T-100 in my gym shoes for daily walks, and this past weekend I wore them in the same shoes while being on my feet for over 13 hours at a music festival and walking around Cincinnati.

by Adri Sahagun • June 20, 2018Just got my inserts yesterday. I am on my feet all day and have been suffering from plantar fasciitis in my right foot for 9 months now... I am dancing on my way home today!

by Adri Sahagun • June 20, 2018I absolutely love these inserts! I am on my feet all day and have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur all in the same foot. I am even wearing new shoes with these inserts and my feet feel amazing!!
Diane Higdem
by Adri Sahagun • June 20, 2018I have a bone spur on my right heel and suffer from Plantar Fasciitis from time to time. I typically cannot be on my feet for more than 20 minutes to an hour. I'm a wildlife photographer and need to be able to stand still for long periods of time. This has proven to be a bit too difficult with my most comfortable boots and $400 custom orthotics. I recently bought a pair of Protalus M100 inserts with the hopes that something, just something, might be better.
Fran Cassidy
by Adri Sahagun • June 06, 2018My plantar fasciitis & heel spurs were really bothering me. The M100 fits perfect in my hiking boots and sneakers. I’ve just put 49 miles on my feet in 6 days!!

by Adri Sahagun • May 23, 2018I was wearing Dr. Scholl's inserts for a few weeks and my feet never quit hurting. I decided to try yours. I missed the instruction page and I put them on and went to work. I work 11-6pm. No pain in my feet.....

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.

“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.
