Tommy Benton
by Adri Sahagun • November 28, 2017Hi, my name is Tommy Benton, a 67 year old Federal Government retiree, pretty active spending a lot of time in the gym 4-6 days a week and just enjoying life. I heard about Protalus from a website and I was very much interested in it because I was having so much Plantar Fasciitis. It had come and gone for a few months and was apparently here to stay. I had tried some products from a local pharmacy but was just not getting any relief and had thought I’d give this a try. In addition to Plantar Fasciitis, I had some discomfort in my left knee.

I’m an avid cyclist, tennis player, and used to do in my younger days, triathlon. I still do long distance biking and some long distance swimming. I’m 63 years old, I’m six foot two, I’m not exactly a little guy, so the stress on my achilles tendons are too much to run anything but a couple miles anymore. I just started playing the national 60 and older USTA tennis competition.

by Adri Sahagun • November 07, 2017For 6 months, I’ve worn Protalus insoles in shoes I wear for work and for leisurely walking. I feel secure and stable in them. I like the heel cup and the fact that they reach forward and provide comfort to the ball of my foot. I’m a husband and grandfather, just about to turn 69. I’m a minister and Air force Chaplin. I was in the Air Force all together for nearly 26 years. Currently, I’m the interim minister of a church where I’ve been for nearly a year. And will probably continue to do that type of work.

Over the course of 15 years, I have done everything to help stay active without being in constant pain. Since wearing my Protalus Insoles I have been pain-free..

by Adri Sahagun • October 26, 2017I 've had plantar fasciitis for more than a year now but it has gotten worse after I did the Arizona Marathon in February of this year. I got in the draw for the Chicago Marathon 2017 that just finished a few weeks ago. I thought I wouldn't be able to run the marathon because of the severe pain I was experiencing on both feet. I tried other inserts but none of them worked. On June of this year, my husband bought me the Protalus S, just to give it a try...

by Adri Sahagun • October 18, 2017My Protalus inserts are better than my $499 custom orthotics! I love that they stabilize my alignment and prevent my ankles from rolling in. And when plantar fasciitis flared in my left foot, they made walking much more comfortable. Thrilled that Protalus brought out the new model (half-length) for use in shoes with non-removable insoles. Now I can wear shoes I thought I'd never wear again.

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..

by Adri Sahagun • June 07, 2017If you need insoles desperately for your plantar fasciitis and you can't afford custom ones, these are for you! I am a 24-year-old nurse with horrible plantar fasciitis, and Protalus insoles have been the best ones I've found so far.

I am an avid amateur golfer, with aspirations of being more. I generally get out and play 4-5 times per week and practice equally as much. A couple years ago, I started to get sharp pains in my foot when I was playing, more so when I walked while I play. After a couple trips to the doctor, I found that I have plantar fasciitis in my foot, something…

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...

I have to say I was skeptical when I started to see Protalus in my news feed as a "suggested" page. We're all the reviews legit and real?!?! I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for the past six months, and I was starting to believe that I would never walk/run without pain again. Having started treatment with a chiropractor and ultimately moving to a podiatrist I started to lose faith.....$1000 later I was still dealing with pain...laser heat treatment...new shoes....custom orthopedics....nothing was working. I have been using my Protalus now......

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!!

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.
