    Item # 745520

    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

          Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Arch Supports:

          These helped cure my sore Peroneus Brevis tendon (soreness on outside of foot just behind 5th metatarsal). That foot mildly overpronates, putting strain on the tendon if I overdo it. Which I did lately, leading up to a marathon. "Stability" shoes have always been too much support for me, and I just needed something that gave a moderat amount of support. These fit the bill.

            Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Arch Supports:

            I have suffered from painful plantar fasciitis due to a high arch and lots of walking. This product alleviated all pain and discomfort - until about a week ago, because now they are completely worn out. It took about 9 months of constant use to kill these suckers. I deliver mail and walk an average of 60-70 miles per week.

            Get them.

              Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Arch Supports:

              I started wearing this product more than a year ago after suffering for a year with painful swollen Achilles tendons from plantar fasciitis. I had tried several support systems and massage techniques but nothing seemed to work for me. These little guys don't look like they offer much support but after wearing them for a week the swelling around my ankles was gone along with the pain. They last me 6+ months if I wear them for daily use and about 1-2 months if I'm running 25+ miles a week.

              Best Uses

                Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Arch Supports:

                This is a really great idea, but the execution leaves some to be desired. While the strap over the top fits comfortably on the foot(I don't see a huge risk of chafing,)the arch support itself is... well, not supportive. It's basically a pillow, with nothing solid inside. It gave no resistance, and therefore did nothing to make my feet feel more stable in my shoes. I might try a new version of this product at a later time if it did have true arch support, but this just doesn't.

                Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Arch Supports:

                It's a great product but it does slide forward on the foot after awhile; not a fault of the product but the way the foot is designed. I put this product on as soon as i got it (after a 9 hour shift) put then on and havent quit wearing them. I work in a busy casino. what a life saver.
