I have been limping for nine months. After three days with these insoles, I can walk pain-free. I have tried buying plantar fasciitis shoes and insert supports with no success...

I have plantar faciitis that comes and goes and peripheral neuropathy that is always there, so walking could be pretty miserable. I need to walk and do other exercises and tried a few other commercially available orthotics (Dr Scholl's and Super Feet). They just didn't do the trick. They would help with arch support, but not overall foot support.

I developed plantar fasciitis and bunions a few years ago. They flared up after I started a DVD exercise program. I'd been a jogger for over 40 years, and needed to stop that. Walking more than a quarter mile was painful to the ball and heals of my feet, to the point of tears in my eyes...

This product absolutely worked for me! I have plantar fasciitis and have tried several remedies from custom foot prosthetic inserts from a podiatrist to over-the-counter foot inserts. Nothing really worked and my pain seemed to move to different areas of my foot. I saw an ad for the Protalus insert that touted the benefits of foot alignment as a remedy for plantar fasciitis. I was very skeptical but after reading many favorable reviews of the product on various websites, I decided to buy a pair and try it. I followed the instructions to start wearing the Protalus insert only for a couple of hours daily and.....

I am an avid runner and all around very active person. I have had problems with my feet, lower back and finally plantar fasciitis, so I sought out help, and I ended up going to Good F**t in town a couple of years ago and spent over $700 on inserts. They appeared to help, but after a couple of months, it was too uncomfortable to wear them any longer, so I was back to the drawing board. I googled plantar fasciitis to read up about it, and through the brilliance of algorithms, Facebook introduced me to Protalus. I thought what the hell I'll give them a try. I have been wearing the Portalus inserts for.....

I have fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, arthritis in my knees - if you can imagine a pain with legs, I have it. I have worn prescription orthotics, tried every insert. I was at my wit's end and I saw your ad on Facebook...

All I can say is I was extremely skeptical but I was out of options. I have been dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis for 12 years. 12 years!!! I have tried everything....exercises, losing weight, shockwave treatment, custom inserts from my foot doctor, high powered massager foot braces to sleep with, steroid shots and the list goes on...

I'm a retired RN who spent more than 50 years on her feet. After retirement, I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot, leg pain, and knee pain to the point that I was unable to walk without a limp and a cane...

Yes, I have given these inserts a rating of 5. I had PF for over a year, but that is not why I now wear them. I have tried two other types of inserts one were Perfect Feet, and the other an insert purchased from my chiropractor ... The insert from my chiropractor ( I quit going) caused me hip pain and caused an off gait. The insert over rotated my left foot. I since have had ankle discomfort and low back pain. I visited a podiatrist who suggested " Custom made Orthotics. The cost would have...

Throughout 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...
