definently helps my plantar fasciitis but cannot wear them when running because they are too bulky. they also seem to wear out quickly if you wear them alot. But they are worth the money so I will be buying a 2nd pair.

I have been using these straps for years and recommending them to my friends. These and the Asics Gel Kayanos I wear helped me get rid of my plantar fasciitis. Thanks, Road Runner Sports for keeping such a great product in your line up.

I struggle with Plantar Fasciitis, and I've been using this product for 9 months. The arch support supplements my custom orthotics perfectly, and I've been completely satisfied with this product. I use them for running, hiking, basketball, and walking. Highly recommended.

I have been wearing these while running for years (56-60 miles a week). To avoid blisters I cut the padding out of the strap (there used to be an option to buy it unpadded). I wear them over thorlo socks. No blister and no more arch pain.

I began training for the LA Marathon this year, and I began experiencing pain in my feet, which was later confirmed to be Plantar Fasciitis. I bought these a couple of weeks, and I recommend them for everyday use, but not for running. I tried training in these and my feet blistered within the first 4 miles, and I had to take them out.

Had several pairs over the years. They work better than any custom orthotic I've had and fit into everything I own. By the end of my first year in the military my feet had grown 1 1/2 sizes longer and 2 sizes wider due to lots of off-road running & carrying 80-110 lbs over long distances on very frequent occasions. My PF is BAD! When I wear these there is no problem. When I don't...wow! what pain.
DOWN SIDE-I can't believe that they haven't figured out yet that by reversing the velcro it will work the same ... but NOT chew up the inside of your shoes/boots.

I had been fighting plantar fascia for 8 months, using inserts that worked in the past.....but not now. Tried these, and they worked! Less bulky in my shoes as well [which saved my toe nails once or twice!].

This product worked wonders for me. I use them especially when running on pavement or any hard surface. I don't find it as critcal to use them when running on a treadmill.

I LOVE MY PRO-TECH ARCH SUPPORTS. MY FEET USED TO HURT SO BAD I COULD HARDLY WALK. I BOUGHT A PAIR OF THESE AND I WEAR THEM AT WORK. I'M ON MY FEET ALL DAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY PAIN AT ALL ANY MORE. I HAVE TRIED SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND NOTHING HAS WORKED LIKE THIS. I HAVE HAPPY FEET AGAIN:)

I work in hospitals on concrete floors all day. I have looked for YEARS for the perfect shoe to eliminate feet pain. Now I swear by these and have been using them for about 6yrs now. I buy several pairs at a time so i always have them on hand. I can't imagine my active lifestyle without these. I have a size 11 foot and I buy the mediums. I agree that sometimes the quality is not as great as it could be but over the last 6 yrs i may have had 2 pairs that weren't well made.

I've used these for years whenever my plantar fasciitis flares up. I'm on my second set now. I find it's wearing them at night that really is the most beneficial. I only wear them during the day if I can't wear my running shoes (like at work) and the pf is especially bad. Sometimes it takes several months, but eventually the pain is completely gone.

I've tried several arch brace products and I think this is the best. Like others reviewers, they've helped reduce my plantar fasciitis. I wear them most of the time EXCEPT when running, including while sleeping. They come in a left and right, so they actually fit your foot. The padding is in the right area and has held up well after a month of steady use.

This product has worked fabulous for me for over 10 years. I have given and suggested them to several friends, both runners and non-runners, and it has always helped. For most it has been an immediate relief of pain..

This product did not do much for my plantar fasciitis. The small layer of cushioning on the bottom of the strap seemed to flatten out after 4-6 weeks, so it did not offer as much support. What doesn't work for one person may work for another and vice versa, so use your own discretion. Also, these come in left and right pairs, so if only one foot hurts, you'll only get use out of one of them.

The pain from pf was so bad I never thought I would be able to run again. All of the other products I tried just didn't work.
I came across this product by chance in a running store at Grand Central Station in NYC while traveling and decided to give them a try. I'm now back running again pain free!

I wear these when I sleep at night or walking around during the day, but not while running. I don't know how I managed before I had them - my right foot is cured. In fact, I've thrown out all my orthotics that I spent substantially more money on.

Had a pair for 7 months and wear them all the time, running and at work. They work wonders for my mild PF. After long runs, the next day I usually teach and that means standing all day long. With these and a pair of Green Superfeet, my feet are totally comfortable.

The main point is these actually solve the problem. After years of soft and then hard orthotics this is the first product to work for my p.f. Yes, they could use better quality control. The warranty replacement is fine if you live in San Diego. Poor stitching, etc. can be a much bigger hassle for mail order customers.

I have used this product for 3-4 years to essentially cure my Plantar facitis. I wear them all the time. I rated the product low this time because the last pair I ordered fell apart just after a few weeks. The previous pairs have been very durable. I dug one of my old pairs out of a drawer and put them back to work. I hope this was only a manufacturing defect and not a sign of the product's future.

I hurt my heels trying to get 1 more long run out of my old shoes. These Pro tec supports allowed me to run the Erie Marathon a month later. I don't think I could have run it without the supports.

After developing plantar fasciitis these were a tremendous help. I now wear them whenever I run and don't believe I'd still be running without them. I've tried other products and found these work best for me.

I stopped running for two months hoping my plantar fasciitis would go away. Finally, I bought a pair of these and a night splint, and, together, they made it go away in about a week. I've not been wearing the brace while running, just under work shoes, and it seems to have made a huge difference.

Wore 24 hours a day during recovery from plantar faciitis. Combined with heat and ice this device made live bearable. Velcro strap needed to be trimmed. Too bad they are sold only in pairs. Still a best buy for me!
