How We Test
We're tired of "top 10" lists written by people who have never seen the products they recommend. At Plantar Proof, we buy every product we test with our own money. We measure the arch height in millimeters, track how much the foam compresses over 42 days, and actually wear them for weeks to see if they hold up. Read our full testing protocol.
