by Adri Sahagun • January 09, 2018I ordered my first pair of Protalus shoe inserts in May 2017 after experiencing ligament pain that I could feel from the top of the foot to the inner side and underneath. Different than plantar fasciitis which I had experienced years ago. I am an avid tennis player and constantly working at staying healthy. I IMMEDIATELY felt relief from the inserts and I have been...

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...

I have a herniated disc, as well as a bulging disc in my lower back. I had been fighting excruciating pain for a while and wearing a back brace at work, and sometimes even at home to try and alleviate some of the pain, because it never would go away completely, no matter what I did. I was also taking 800 MG of ibuprofen every 6 hours, and even that wasn't helping. My doctor prescribed different meds for me that I did not want to take, and I even had shots in my back. I decided to try Protalus...

Protalus insoles helped me through my professional soccer career. Knee and heal pain instantly gone after wearing these for one week. I don't put my feet in shoes that do not have these insoles in them. Hands down the best insoles you can get!

by Adri Sahagun • December 04, 2017The SuperFeet Green in my Tactical Low-Cut Boots were giving me a hot spots on the outside of foot at mid-sole. The factory insole was 3/16", so I order T100. Great improvement: no more hot spots...

by Adri Sahagun • November 14, 2017I have been plagued by a herniated disk as well as a bone spur in my right foot. My nights have been spent in semi-sleep due to pain in my hips, foot and back. My podiatrist recommended that I get arch supports. I have tried several other brands, but the arch support was not enough. After searching the internet I came across the Protalus supports...

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 • August 21, 2017Just returned from a backpacking trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. Our crew hiked close to 10 miles each day for a week on rocky, muddy, uneven terrain in wet and dry conditions. I carried a 35lb. backpack plus 4L of water and 3 days worth of food at a time and I only weigh 100lb. My feet had been aching on our weekend practice hikes leading up to the trip and I was concerned how they would hold up for more consecutive days. I also tend to have an issue with alignment which affects my right hip.

I received my first pair yesterday and I've only had my inserts in my shoes for 5 hours, but I can already feel the pain is so much less! I'm so excited and hopeful that these will be the answer I've looked for. I'm looking forward to seeing how wearing them long-term will go for my my chronic P.F.! -Thankful & Hopeful

I ordered these a few weeks ago, but they were on back order. Monday 8/15/16 I received them and immediately took my shoes off at work and put them in. I have plantar very to the point that it is affecting my bone structure. My orthopedic said that plantar usually doesn't show up on an MRI, but mine is so bad it did. At one point he put me in a boot which through off my gait and made my knee on the other leg hurt. Anyway, Monday was an especially painful day for some reason, so I was glad to get them. The heal pain was very bad that day. I put them in around noon hoping for relief. By the end of the day, I could tell I was going to like them. Now it's been...

So glad I decided to give these a try! I have been in so much pain with plantar this past year. I have had shots, night splints, compression socks, stretching, ice, orthotics everything under the sun. Nothing helped. I put these in, and after the break-in period, I am down to wearing my night splint only when I overdo it. Being able to stand up and walk in the morning without pain is the best feeling ever. So happy I can run and afterward there is little to no pain. Thank you so much for your product!

I am a Personal Trainer after retiring from a desk job. I have extremely flat feet and have worn shoes for over pronation, and I am on my feet from 6 am to 8 pm with clients for 3 1/2 day a week. The first couple years my feet would bother me with pain in general, but this past year, I found nothing to bring relief and was ready to explore very expensive…

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.
