Our Story:
From a Single Step to a Movement
Protalus began with a simple yet powerful idea:
to make the benefits of expensive orthotics
accessible to everyone, so people could get
back to doing what they love.
It Started With Family
When founder Christopher Buck's son began experiencing persistent foot pain, traditional orthotics provided some relief, but their rigid, uncomfortable design kept him sidelined from the sports and activities he loved. Christopher knew there had to be a better way.
Determined to find a solution, Christopher worked to develop an insole that offered the support of a custom orthotic without the cost or discomfort.
He tackled the problem from a mechanical point of view, not by updating what was already on the market. After many prototypes, he created an insole that was comfortable enough for his son to move in, but supportive enough to find the relief he needed.
In 2014, Protalus was launched. Christopher and his business partner, Henrik Norremark, patented Protalus's Alignment Technology (PAT).
This unique system supports the body by controlling the position of the talus bone (the ankle), a key element in proper foot mechanics and overall movement health. Every protalus footwear product features PAT.
