The unique Protalus design relieves discomfort through your whole body, not just your feet.
If you feel run-down and sore in your knees or back by the end of the day, you're not alone.
Many people don't realize that pain in your knees or back can really be caused by a slight alignment issue at your ankle. Protalus corrects the root cause of your pain to bring you lasting relief.

The T-100 Elite are more comfortable, have better cushioning, and are more supportive than the expensive custom orthotics I got from my podiatrist. And they fit my shoes perfectly. I will be back for more.

The ankle joint plays a critical role in stabilizing the ankle. When it is misaligned, it can result in ankle instability, making you more prone to ankle sprains and injuries.
Ankle misalignment can contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis, a common condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot.
Because the feet and lower limbs are interconnected, abnormalities in foot alignment can lead to biomechanical issues in the knees, hips, and lower back. This can result in pain, muscle imbalances, and joint stress.
Athletes, in particular, may experience a decrease in performance due to subtalar misalignment. It can affect their ability to generate power, balance, and control during activities that require precise foot movements.
Misalignment can affect the function of the Achilles tendon, which attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone. This may lead to problems such as Achilles tendonitis or tendinopathy.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
