They “look” cheap and plastic-ish, but are tough and functional. I was worried the spring loaded pressure points would pop out but that has not been the case. On a strictly annoying point, the sandal lists the particular functionality of the pressure point which is cool…BUT try explaining to your buddies why the sandal has the words ” Anus, Rectum, & Genital…” Not important enough to really care for me, but it may for you.

I could actually get up from a setting position without struggling. I am 71 years old and my knees and back have been giving me a fit for a really long time. My husband was so impressed that he asked me to order him a pair. I truly believe in the health benefits that these offer and all without drugs and/or surgery. I will continue to wear them the recommended 15 minutes per day. I can’t say enough positive things about these slippers, have already recommended them to my family and friends.

I have experienced relief from more than just foot pain, my lower back feels better as well. I work in retail, have for 17 years, and I wish I would have known about how effective these sandals are years ago. Being on your feet for 9-11 hours a day is brutal on your feet. They relieve the tension in the bottom of the foot relaxing the tendons and muscles of the ankle and rest of the leg. It’s hard to explain just how effective they are but they do work. Initial use of the sandals can be painful and you may have to work up to wearing them for the directed 15 minutes per day but it’s worth it.

I now wear them about 20 to 30 minutes per day. In the past, I ran often and abused my feet and now suffer from heel spurs. The shoes have lessened that pain almost to the point of not even noticeable. I feel a strong stress relief after wearing them for just a few minutes. I highly recommend these shoes. Just remember to be patient until you can get use to them.

Tried everything you can imagine …physiotherapy, massage, shockwave, laser, ice, heat. I’m also wearing orthotics and runners with good support. Anyway, there’s still pain. I’m not expecting miracles! But it does feel a bit better. I wear it twice a day for 3-4 minutes each time. I plan on working up to about 5-6 mins each time so that eventually I’ll be wearing it 15 mins a day. I walk on a rug, slowly. I plan to take it with me on my travels.

These have made a HUGE difference for me!! I wear them in the mornings and the evenings while I’m brushing my teeth and getting ready, so about 20 minutes a day total. They hurt so bad at first, but you definitely get used to it as time goes on. I have been using them about a month now and I can easily walk around in them so give it time. My foot pain is still there in the mornings, but is no big deal. I am back to wearing all of my shoes comfortably and have no pain throughout the day. I can’t give these enough stars…thank you!!!!

ive had these for about a year now, and they are fantastic, my feet no longer hurt at all, and it didnt take very long for the pain to go away when i started using them. now i put them on at random times just to put me back to zero so to speak. but these absolutely work, and it doesnt take long. also i use gel inserts in my shoes to make them more soft. my feet havnt been hurting since i bought these.

And, yes, after a few times the discomfort eases up. I would say after a week or so of consistent, regular use I was able to put them on and be okay. Several months later, when my feet really hurt, I can’t stand wearing regular slippers or shoes; I have to use these instead! These days working remotely I stand a lot at my desk, and using these to stand on works a lot better than wearing regular shoes. Highly recommend it!

When I first put these shoes on (barefooted) it was like some midievel torture process. The pain was so much my 75 year old feet couldn’t handle more than a few light steps. I put thick socks on and tried again: it was better. Over the next 2 weeks, I graduated to thinner socks, and am now barefoot, walking through the house with them on, for about 5 minutes, 3 times per day.

I’m simply fascinated that so many wrote about them being “unbearable” after 5 minutes. I’m wishing they could make a shoe like this so I can enjoy a foot massage and enhanced circulation all day!!! I’m likely to order another pair for work travel so i don’t have to shuffle them in and out of my suitcase each week. This is an amazing item and I highly recommend it to anyone. Also-in terms of being giftable, the box is perfect for wrapping!
