My 9 year old has flat feet and experienced foot pain with each sport season. In January, he was in so much pain playing basketball that he changed his stride and would need ice packs every night after practice/games. The sports medicine clinic took X-rays and examined him but really only recommended that we try orthotics (but did not really guide us as to which type-just try a few to see what might help), and if that didn’t work they said to have him brace his ankles for stabilization when he runs. So we sampled shock absorbers and others with no luck. I was apprehensive to try Protalus due to cost and because I was simply unsure what I was looking for in an insert. But the graphics in the ad showing how the Protalus fits and provides stability resonated and information from other reviewers helped me decide to make the investment. I chatted with a representative who provided guidance on sizing and suggested the M-100 for my son’s specific needs.
It took a few days of adjusting to wearing them, but they’ve been a game changer for my son. He isn’t having pain and I am beyond pleased. I know I will be buying again, as this was the solution for us. He wears them in his athletic shoes, school shoes and play shoes.
