by Allison Chan • March 09, 2020 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.

After knee surgery a few years back and an MCL tear just a few months ago, I have chronic knee issues. I've been wearing nothing but shoes with these amazing insoles in them to help with my knee for the last few weeks straight. Today I grabbed a pair of shoes I wear less often and forgot to switch out the insole. I can feel my ankle breaking in hard…

Protalus insoles helped me through my professional soccer career. Knee and heal pain instantly gone after wearing these for one week. I don't put my feet in shoes that do not have these insoles in them. Hands down the best insoles you can get!

My feet hurt less!!
I am an avid runner, physical education teacher, and coach and spend a lot of time on my feet. I developed plantar fasciitis in August 2016, and I was wearing the Green Feet brand. They were ok but a little too hard. I thought I would give protalus a try and I love them. My feet feel so much better and don't hurt after a long day of work!! They have a lot of support, and the arches have a lot of cushion in the heel area. Thank you for such a wonderful product!!

by AJ Brown • March 15, 2017I am Wilfer Henderson, NSCA-CPT, and I run 5K races as a pleasure I have purchased many different shoes that have only helped get me through races, but on this morning I placed the inserts in a pair of shoes that would cause me pain when I run. The results are that I ran 4 miles and went from a 8:55 per mile pace with pain to a 8:28 pace on my first day of using these inserts without any pain, and for a bonus I could have finished even faster, but I was anticipating the usual pain in my quads in the 4th mile which was run at 7:26. Excited about my next 5K on Saturday, looking forward to a new 5K record on a hard course. Thanks to Protalus!

Bought these last year when they did a hospital visit. I am a Nurse and a long time Runner with some back/knee issues; wear them at work and for my runs. I had both professionally fitted ones, where I paid $400 and other brands expensive and did not last. Loves these! These have....

I have had chronic Achilles tendinitis since 2003 when the tendon separated from the bone. I got to the point where I just accepted that pain was just now a part of my life. When your ad popped up in my feed, I was a bit skeptical but figured I'd try them and return them if they didn't work. I've been wearing them for two weeks now.....

I was hoping for a miracle when I ordered the Model T inserts, and it worked. Several months ago I was refitted for running shoes. They said I needed stability shoes when I've always been in neutral shoes. I switched to the stability shoes and slowly began to wear them. The result was......

I registered for my 2nd (WTM) Worl ds Toughest Mudder. It's a 24-hour event. I didn't want to rely on the super glue that I applied to the toe region on the Ortholite insoles for the event. A friend recommended that I check out Protalus.

I wore these for my first run since a knee injury. Although I was not completely pain-free, I certainly could tell the difference in my hips and knee joints as well as my gate. I felt stronger and more motivated. It's a great product, and I highly recommend it for any athlete looking to improve in their sport, have fewer injuries, with overall pain reduction.

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.
