I started training for my 3rd marathon in Aug 2017. I was in the best shape of my life: strong with only 18% body fat and was running faster than ever! I was determined to break 4 hours in this marathon. Then during a training run in early September, I hurt my foot somehow...

I had my doubts but they really work and work well. I had ball of foot pain on one foot after wearing worn out running shoes. I first tried new running shoes with better cushioning and got some improvement but not much.

35 years of motocross, rodeo, being an Ironworker, and coaching baseball has left me a little banged up... Last year in August I could barely walk... my knees hurt from the abuse and after 6 knee surgeries, I started compensating for the stiffness and that caused more back problems...

I retired for the 2nd time 5 years ago. I've remained active with exercise including walk/running 3 - 5 mi daily and participated in several 5K marathons. This past September I developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot that frankly took me to my knees. Walk/running was out of the question. I saw ads for the Protalus products but kissed them off as overblown. Went to a podiatrist for professional advice and ended up purchasing custom orthotics at $400 bucks. They worked to some degree but did not provide the relief that I had hoped for, especially at that cost. So, I decided to waste another $80 bucks just to see. Bought M100's. WOW. These things are fantastic. Broke them in according to the instructions. Along with daily stretches and on-line home treatments, I am back to pain-free walking. I mean PAIN-FREE. Put the expensive insoles into a corner in the closet. Will start running again soon. Thank you Protalus. I'll be ordering additional devices soon.
