Whether you’re an athlete, a busy mom chasing young children, or an employee whose job keeps you on your feet, you most likely suffer occasionally from sore feet. Chronic foot pain, however, is a condition that can affect your daily routine. This serious affliction can impact your entire body, leading to discomfort in the knees, hips, and lower back.

2 Today, many products claim to alleviate foot pain and correct posture to realign your body. If you watch television late at night, you’ve probably seen advertisements for the Pro Walk orthopedic inserts. This infomercial claims that these plastic inserts “offer support for your feet, correcting your gait and stabilizing your spine.” The advertisement also maintains that the inserts provide enhanced protection for the feet, absorbing some of the shock produced by standing, walking, and running. The Pro Walk Web site contains many positive assessments of the product’s benefits from anonymous consumers, but we wanted to evaluate the claims for ourselves.

Customer Review

from Renee in TX:
I have been using the Pro Walk inserts for about a month now. As a cashier, I am on my feet for about eight hours every day. The pain I was experiencing in my feet, hips, and lower back was so intense that I could barely get out of bed some days. I find that the Pro Walk helps to realign my body and provides my entire body with more support. I can’t believe the difference this product has made in my life.
