Full description


Protalus M-100 Insoles — Maximum Alignment, Complete Control

Clinically Studied | Heavy-Duty Support | 90-Day Risk-Free Trial


Finally, Insoles Built for Maximum Correction

The Protalus M-100 is our full-power flagship insole, engineered to deliver maximum structural guidance and keep your entire body aligned from the ground up. With ultra-deep stabilizing walls that wrap your heel and midfoot, the M-100 actively corrects overpronation, absorbs high-impact forces, and holds up under the most demanding conditions — day after day.

 

 Key Benefits

  • Maximum Alignment — Deep, stabilizing walls wrap your heel and midfoot, guiding your foot through its ideal motion sequence from heel strike to toe-off
  • Clinically Proven Results — In an independent 3D motion-capture study (BioMechanica LLC, 2019), 28 of 31 participants walked within the correct mechanical range with the M-100 — compared to just 3 of 31 with a standard foam insert
  • Kinetic Chain Relief — Locking your heel into its proper vertical axis reduces the misalignments that cause knee, hip, and lower back discomfort.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction — Built as a high-impact foundation that withstands demanding use, whether you're on a job site or logging miles on hard surfaces
  • Full Overpronation Correction — Prevents the inward rolling of the ankle that leads to compensatory stress throughout the body.
  • Full-Length Coverage — Maximum walls with approximately 7mm more depth than the T-100 for superior heel and midfoot control


Who Are the M-100 Insoles For?

The M-100 is the right choice if you:

  • Need maximum alignment support and a heavy-duty platform
  • Wear boots, work shoes, or sneakers with a removable factory liner
  • Work on your feet in physically demanding environments
  • Experience knee, hip, or lower back discomfort linked to foot mechanics
  • Want clinically studied results — not just cushioning

Stop Fighting Flat Ground

Long days on hard ground call for a stable foundation inside your boots. The M-100 uses deep heel and midfoot walls to help guide alignment from landing to push-off. Its full-length construction replaces your factory liner, bringing structured support and impact absorption to work boots, hiking boots, and other footwear with room for a deeper fit.

Fits in my AFO perfectly!

I had to order a half size larger shoe to fit my AFO (ankle foot orthotic). But I ordered these insoles in my “normal” size since my foot really hasn’t changed. The combo is working well for me, and the structure of these insoles will hold up over time better than the “custom” insole that came with the AFO.
