BYRIVER Under Desk Foot Massager Footrest Acupressure Slippers Sandals Shoes Mat for Men Women, Relieve Plantar Fasciitis Neuropathy Pain, Stress Relief Massager, Gifts for Runners (03XS)

My feet have been aching for past few years. I work a lot on my feet and have to alternate FLAT shoes every day. If I’d wear same shoe 2 days in a row, I’d feel the aches and pains. In the mornings, my feet hurt to start the day…I did not think this trajectory was sustainable. I’m 57 years old and was starting to worry about long term pain in my feet if this was my current plight the past few years.Over the course of time, buying “support” shoes and inserts, massaging them and applying muscle cream only provided minimal relief. No longer have I been able to wear my beautiful pumps and heels because my feet hurt too bad.The bottoms of my feet felt tighter than what a normal foot felt like, so I began researching acupressure shoe options and came across these Byriver sandals.I’ve had them about 2-3 weeks, and in the beginning I could barely move a step or two. The instructions recommend standing in them few minutes a day, but I wanted results, so I walked around house (suffering) in them and wore them when I was on my feet cooking etc. They hurt like crazy those first days, and my feet were even sore after wearing, (kind of like the soreness your muscles get after a deep tissue massage), and I even got little bruises. After the first week, my left foot settled in, and the sandal was actually comfortable on that foot. The right foot however still hurt in the very center of the bottom of my foot (where my foot was the tightest). One day, I was out shopping without the sandals, of course, and that spot on the bottom of my right foot ached and itched, so as soon as I got home I put the sandals back on, and it was a “good hurt”.It’s now been about 3 weeks, and I hadn’t worn the sandals in about 4 days. I put them on tonight, fully expecting to be back to square one, but they are super comfortable on BOTH feet.I feel like I just improved a very important aspect of my health that could have become very debilitating as time went on.I am now recommending these sandals to everyone I know that have feet problems.Biggest thing to note is you have to stick with it. If they’re painful, it’s because your feet are jacked, and these sandals will help get them back to a healthy state.Also probably worth noting, I have never written a review…that’s how impressed I am with these sandals.

I finally realized it matters where you place your feet. Make sure your toes hit the edge of the top nodes and not overhang them. At first these were painful but then I placed my feet correctly on them and it feels so much better, like a good pressure feeling. I only gave 4 stars because it’s not making my foot pain go away but I actually don’t think they’re supposed to. They’re great for end of day relief.

So i was very skeptical about the reviews. So i will say how i feel after using these. So i did not find that it took long to get used to them, they were a little uncomfortable to start with but after 3-4 days or forcing myself to wear then 2-3 times a day for 10-15 min i found i could go hrs after the 4th day. When i take off my feet tingle in a very pleasant way, and i have noticed that my feet feel refreshed. I not a medical person, but i personally believe that these do actually help. But others may have different results, all i can say is they work for me, and i was very skeptical, but at a low price thought why not give them a try.

A few things to mention. I ordered these in desperation for any kind of help and pain relief from plantar fasciitis. I saw in the description these are for this condition that only the prince of darkness himself could be responsible for creating. Maybe I misread or misunderstood in my haze of torment and indescribable pain but I saw the words: massager, pain relief, plantar fasciitis. I saw how many people had purchased these and that they appeared to be quite happy wiry them and experiencing the promised pain relief. So I ordered them. Well, when they arrived, I was a bit confused at their construction. The plastic was super hard and several knobs were not even on one of the shoes. They were very cheaply made and not at all worth what I paid (9.99 is more appropriate honestly) the worst part was they smelled TERRIBLE. I am not one to be bothered by odors at all. Heck, I mucked horse stalls, cleaned boarding kennels and milked cows as a teen, trust me, smells don't get to me. But these didn't just smell, they reeked of chemicals. I put them outside on my porch for 48 hours, it did little to air them off.I wasn't to clear on hoe they were going to massage my tender foot with those hard plastic unforgiving knows. They were very hard spring loaded to say the least. Maybe if I could have somehow sprayed some wd40 on those invisible springs it would have made them better, I don't know. I tried them several times each day for a week. Determined that they were going to do what they proclaimed to.I just could not get past the stiffness of the top strap or of the shoes themselves. I felt like I was walking like a duck on hard rocks digging into my feet every time. My feet were so red and painful after after time that I would have to put ice on the one with plantar fasciitis and rub the other until the pain abated.Admitting defeat was the hardest part because I am not a quitter. However, as I wrapped those stinky suckers back up in their plastic bag and put them back in their box, I could not bid them adieu fast enough. I seriously question the authenticity of any above 2 or 3 star review on these shoes.

Super painful at first but I got used to it after a few months. I followed the recommendation of just starting off at 15 minutes and increasing the time.

Thank you for your service in making this possible. These are very comfortable and well designed and very useful in and addressing issues related to health!

This product is worth my money, this is the one I’m looking for. Hope it will help my feet problems once I’ll get used to it. Thank you!

Unbearable for the first two weeks but amazing once you get used to them

Excelente producto ayudan realmente a realizar digitopuntura, son para usar un rato y luego descansar

Son iguales a las de la imagen solo que muy duras. Lastiman un poco al caminar, pero cumplen su función

$28 for bumpy slippers? I could buy a pop bottle, break it and step on the broken glass for only $2 !!!Lol… seriously. These work. I’ve had Plantars for almost a year. Work has me standing on concrete 8+ hours/day. Tried insoles, foot wraps, foot massagers, etc….I got these and yes…they hurt. They hurt SO good!Start out only a couple minutes…whatever your pain tolerance is…and go a bit longer each time.I’ve already noticed a difference at work.Definitely worth the $.
