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.

by Adri Sahagun • January 24, 2019I recently purchased a set of the Protalus M 100 Women's / size 10. At first, I was reluctant to even put them in my shoes. I have had so much pain with different inserts and frankly, these looked painful.

I started using the inserts in late August, and already have noticed a difference. I had been using custom-made inserts but realized they were not completely working the way they should. These inserts fit so much more shoes than the others did, to which I am grateful. It has taken me a little while...

by Adri Sahagun • November 27, 2017I’m currently living in Oceanside, California. I’m a middle school teacher. I was in the navy for 26 years and did a lot of active stuff but always was extremely flat footed. Consequently, I pronate and I wear out shoes quickly. About a year and a half ago I found Protalus. It’s just amazing how well those inserts work for my feet. The idea of having to buy shoes every three months because I’m wearing out one side is no longer something I have to deal with because the inserts work so well.

I can't believe it. It's like I am in a dream, the other day I made an appointment with my podiatrist because my feet were hurting so bad. He gave me one of those painful shots. Once again my feet continued to hurt, I am flat footed and have Plantar. I have been following this site for 2 years but was afraid of trying because of the price plus I figured that they would be like all the rest. Well March 26th I decided to take a chance...

Ok. I bought my Protalus shoe inserts last week. Since I had broken my foot skiing over 50 years ago, I didn't expect much help. My Drs. have repeatedly told me how flat my feet are and how much I needed a GOOD shoe support. Well, I received my supports today, and all I can do is smile and tell you how wonderful my feet feel --after 50 years of suffering. These do work! My feet don't feel tired. They feel great. I even want to sleep with my shoes on tonight. Any questions? Ask me. I'm a real person! Thank you Protalus.

A little of my history I am a 16-year law enforcement officer. I am currently assigned to our courthouse. My job utmost is to protect the judge. So I stand relatively close to the judge. Some people see this Judge shows on TV, and it last for an hour, and it's all over. For those who do not know it's at a minimum of eight hours day. I have been as late as two in the mor ning deal with the court. So my point is....

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.
