Deluxe Acupuncture Slippers

I debated which version (intensity level) to get, but am glad I purchased the most intense one. I was concerned when so many reviews said they were painful. With socks on, these were just right therapeutically. I like the jade stone accents. I wish they weren’t an ugly color, but they are to be worn in the home so that doesn’t really matter. I was concerned they wouldn’t fit my narrow feet, but with the adjustment it actually accommodates that enough which is great.

I often shop and rarely take the time to rate products unless they stand out in either direction. These shoes deliver everything they advertise and more. Like many of the reviews indicated, they do hurt a little at first and take some getting use to wearing them. I would recommend socks in the beginning and use intermittently in five minute increments. It probably says that on the directions, but I'm a typical man, so I didn't read those. 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.

I've only been wearing these sandals for a week so I'll post an update after a month of use. The sizing chart was very accurate. I wear a size 9 in women's shoes and ordered an S for this sandal. I was worried that it might be too small but it actually fits perfectly! I have been using it while wearing socks and it's not painful but it's definitely not a pair of shoes you'll go shopping in. It's purely a therapeutic shoe and I've been experiencing incredible plantar fasciitis pain in my right foot for six months now. 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.

I have RA and was experiencing a ton of foot pain first thing in the morning. The balls of my feet felt like they had been hit with a hammer when I got out of bed. Throughout the day the pain was not as intense, but was still there. It was at the point where everything but flip flops were painful to wear. I searched for something to try and came across these foot massager shoes. I was definitely skeptical, but figured for the price it was worth a shot. 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!!!!

These have helped my feet immensely! I’m often on my feet on concrete surfaces for 10-12 hours a day. Before getting these I was changing my shoes/orthotic inserts at least once a day and would still have foot cramps after about 8 hours of working. I’ve been wearing these for 5-15 minutes a night at home and after a week of using them my foot pain has drastically diminished. I don’t even have to wear them everyday now after owning them for a month.

These sandals are well made, effective and affordable. I received them, put them on, and tried them out by walking around the house and they are a perfect fit. They really help stimulate the soles of my feet. They are impressively made. I imagine the more I wear them, the more comfortable they will be, once my feet get used to them. I'm a tenderfoot and that may be the reason I can really benefit from them, since my feet don't usually get such a great work out as these sandals offer. Thank you, for your innovative foot product!!

I have high arches and very tight muscles in my feet as a result. These slippers are a huge relief. I do have tough feet as a result of years of foot cramps, so I found the pressure comforting , though my heels got tender the quickest. My mother had sensitive feet and can’t step on a pebble, so I know these won’t be for everyone, but I think they work great!

my feet use to hurt a lot, from standing and walking around, a lot. i bought these and it was a fantastic purchase. at first they hurt when wearing them ( because my feet were already hurting ) but if you wear them like you are suppose to, just 5 minutes a day, you will quickly notice the difference they make. it was like 3 days for me, to where they no longer hurt when wearing them, and my feet no longer hurt. 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.

Like everyone else has said, upon first wearing them they hurt. But after soldiering through it, when I took them off, my feet felt SO MUCH BETTER!!!! I’m on my feet for 10-14hrs a day. And I cant even explain the difference these have made. They basically give your feet a hardcore massage. I recommend wearing socks while having them on. They are hard to walk in, so I wear them while I’m standing washing dishes, or in the shower before bed. I’m so glad I took a chance on these

I cannot stand my whole weight for long (180 pound), and I can definitely not wear them to walk normally. These are a good idea, but it hurts my feet more than it feels good. I still gave it a few stars because if i lean on something and just have my feet slowly go up and down it can feel goot. Furthermore they are sturdy and come with replacement parts.

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for some time and tried several approaches. I'd done enough research to know that these slippers would be painful at first but would help over time. And, that's exactly what happened. First time I put them on I couldn't believe it - the only thing missing were shards of glass to make it even more unpleasant! Be prepared for a lot of pain - absolutely ridiculous. 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!

I have bone spurs. I'm also on my feet alot. I have to say, after trying these today (without socks, I might add), for the instructed 15 mins, I definitely enjoyed how my feet felt afterwards. I think it's all relative, but in my case, my pain isn't excrucitating, but uncomfortable alot of the time. You know, bone spurs, like something's poking out of your foot? These really felt good on my foot. I was more of the attitude, "Bring it on!". I want to feel something. I think these deliver everything they claim they do. Really cool invention. I always rub my feet in the acupressure points and this goes one better.

Just received these and love them. I have sore feet and these are amazing and hurt in a great way while I wear them. When I take them off I feel so relieved. Just wearing them in short intervals now. I am a big guy, so these buttons are getting a workout also! Can’t wait to get used to them!!
