About Plantar Proof

Who We Are

Plantar Proof is an independent review site dedicated exclusively to plantar fasciitis relief products — insoles, orthotics, night splints, supportive shoes, and braces. We are not medical professionals. Our content is informational only and should not be treated as medical advice.

The site is published by Gesmine-Invest Limited (UK Company Number 14120136), registered at Hardy House, 269 Poynders Gardens, London, SW4 8PQ, United Kingdom.

Why We Built This

We suffered from plantar fasciitis ourselves and found that most online "best of" lists were written by people who had never touched the products. We decided to do it properly: buy each product, wear it, measure it, and report the data honestly.

Our Methodology (Summary)

Every insole or product we review is purchased with our own money. We wear each insole for a minimum of 42 days in the same shoes (Asics Gel-Kayano 30 for daily use, Clarks London for office use), measuring:

• Arch height (mm) — measured before and after the test period with digital calipers
• Heel cup depth (mm)
• Product weight (g)
• Comfort score — based on daily wear notes and first-step morning pain levels
• Durability — visual compression check and re-measurement at day 42
