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.

Plantar Faciitis

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.

Good idea, but..

Provides Little Support

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.
