by Adri Sahagun • January 07, 2020I decided to try the Protalus insoles for my plantar fasciitis and ordered my first pair in December 2018. I'm so glad that I did! I could hardly walk during and after my 12 hour hospital shifts, as well as on my days off.

by Adri Sahagun • July 26, 2019As a Physical Therapist, I used to help patients with custom-fabricated orthotics. This is still helpful in some cases, but most often my patients (and some family members) just have flat feet (pronation) and they develop pain in the feet / ankles / knees / hips / or back because of the mal-alignment.

I purchased the insoles for plantar fasciitis. My condition was resolved after... two weeks!!!

by Adri Sahagun • June 27, 2018I recently had an injury that lasted 3 months from a torn meniscus and sports arthritis per MRI. Was told scope was necessary for the repair so as a last ditch effort I ordered the shoe inserts to try and get relief.....

by Adri Sahagun • December 06, 2017I'm an active physician, who lived in high heels my entire adult life. When menopause hit 2 years ago, I started a C25K program to battle early diabetes. I was doing great, until I developed both plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis and was barely able to walk without pain.

by Adri Sahagun • December 04, 2017Throughout nursing school, I battled debilitating heel pain. I went to the podiatrist and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. I could hardly stand 12 hour clinical due to heel pain causing foot pain, then calf pain, then thigh pain...I could hardly walk which makes it hard to function as a nurse. I read about Protalus and decided to give it a shot...

by Adri Sahagun • October 03, 2017When I ordered my insoles, I had a lot of problems with my back, knees, ankles, and feet from psoriatic arthritis and SLE lupus. I received them about three weeks ago and put them in my crocs. I had previously used a Dr. Scholls machine that showed I put all my weight on my heels and the side of my feet away from the arch. As soon as I got my insoles I started wearing them. They were tight across the top of my arches. However, despite this discomfort, I knew I needed to persist in wearing them, viewing them in the same likeness as braces for your teeth. Within a week my arches stopped hurting.

by Adri Sahagun • September 25, 2017As an anesthesiologist, I am on my feet and moving all day. In addition, I workout every morning before work. I had developed severe plantar fasciitis and lower back pain. I tried stretching, injections and multiple inserts without success. I have been wearing Protalus M100 inserts for about a month now and the plantar fasciitis is gone..

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.
