Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat, Deep Kneading, Compression, Vibration, Feet Massager Machine for Plantar Fasciitis, Neuropathy, Foot Warmer Under Desk, Size 13, Gifts for Men, Women

I have plantars fasciitis and have been told that massage is a part of the healing process so I have been looking for something cheap. I have medium arches and wear a size 9 womens shoe. This massager fits my foot well and would have no issues with smaller or larger feet as you can move, turn and twist your foot to hit the spots you need. I was afraid of getting a machine as I am one who is tickled when getting a pedicure and I prefer very light massages. It was not too rough even without socks on and I wasn’t tickled at all. Haha it’s super light weight and easily moved around or stored out of the way if you prefer. It’s not loud though of course you will hear a motor so it’s not silent. The heat in my opinion is just enough to relax your muscles and I’m good with that it’s not “hot” as I would prefer my feet not sweat as I use it. I got the white one but honestly if you use the cover you don’t see much of the machine anyway so if a certain color is cheaper go for it. I have only used it once so not sure if it will help for my problem but It sure isn’t gonna hurt either.

So even at first, when I wasn't sure that I liked it at all, I'm happy to say that I persisted with my belief that it could help. I complained about having to keep adjusting it, and how it felt too automatic. Then, I discovered that my worst foot problems were getting better. Mind you, just a bit at a time over a three month period. As I hadn't gotten any such improvement from expensive medical visits, including surgical compensation, it was obvious that this was my best resource. So, if at first you don't succeed, don't give up. This just might be what you've always needed for your feet.

The media could not be loaded.  This isn't a fancy foot massager like the ones that envelope, squeeze and knead your feet, and that are much more expensive and tend to break (like most all of these foot massagers). I decided to go the less expensive route (at least for myself, not my wife), and try this out. It has met expectations thus far. If all you're looking for is something fairly inexpensive that relaxes your tired feet, like after walking, jogging or being on your feet for awhile, this should do the trick. I used to have a basic foot massager like this one until my wife broke it by bearing down on it with her feet too much. I don't think I'll have that problem with this one, as the center balls actually feel like they have strong springs underneath designed to handle the pressure. I can push them down, and they spring back up much like a good mattress. It's only the center section though. The sections for your ball/toes and heel aren't springy, which I guess is OK for the price point!The motor seems strong and relatively quiet. The noise shouldn't disturb you while watching shows or listening to music. The machine has three modes, whereby the balls will turn clockwise, counterclockwise or alternate between the two. This is all done via pushing the power button, which you can do with your feet. You also have a speed button which controls slow, medium and fast functions with a push. And lastly, you can push the heat button for low, high, or no heat. Keep in mind that it's not going to be hot, just perceptibly warm. I say "perceptibly" because it won't blow you away, but it is noticeable when you take your feet off the massager and put them on the cooler floor. The speed and mode (power) buttons have amber, green and red LED lights that will indicate what function you're using. The heat button is low or bright red, and corresponds with the color of the spinning balls. So, everything is easy to operate!This massager will also allow those with bigger fit to actually use it. I wear size 13, and I have no issues working all the areas with aches. I mean, you might have to position and reposition your feet, but there are enough balls there to get the job done.I do wish that the balls for the ball of your feet were raised like the middle section (see the pic) because I believe that the middle section can actually impede you from getting the massage you desire on the balls of your feet if you're simply reclining. I have to either consciously make sure I'm bearing down hard enough and/or just sit in a more upward position to make sure the balls of my feet are getting adequate pressure sometimes. The only other small criticism that I have is the cover. I wish that it was made of a tougher material. If you see my pic, the cover already looks a little worn, especially where the balls spin. So, I don't suggest using this with the cover on. I am a little skeptical as to whether the netting over the platform will stand the test of time, as it may be made of the same material as the cover, but we'll see!One thing that I keep forgetting, but have tried, is placing it behind my back (though I didn't buy it for that). I think it's somewhat gimmicky, but it gives you some relaxation! You might like it.All in all, I knew what I was getting. It's your basic foot massager that's not perfect, but higher quality than I was expecting. As I am skeptical of all these massagers, I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money as I've had them break on me with not only five-times use. But this one seems built to last. I have a two-year warranty on it (after registration), so I hope to get that out of it at least. It auto shuts off after 15 minutes, and I'm going to respect that so as not to wear the motor out or injure my feet! If it can't handle normal use, I will surely update this review and let you know. But, it seems like a good value and a fairly inexpensive way to provide some relief for tired and achy feet. Believe me, you could do a lot worse for a whole lot more. I paid $40, and I think it's a nice value, especially if it lasts a while.

I have seen a lot of people speaking to this product being made for a different sized foot. This product works for ALL sized feet. I just need to move my feet to meet the needs of my own foot; not expect the product to conform to such. I am a mail carrier; hence being on my feet all day, six to seven days a week. This foot massager has been such a blessing. I start every day with it and I couldn't be more satisfied

Time my massager arrived, I read the instructions then plugged it in to use it. Immediately my feet began to feel better! I have plantars fasciitis and hear me when I tell you that nothing helped but this massager. I purchased a 2 small balls from Amazon for plantars fasciitis but they didn’t stop my foot pain. This massager gave me a Big Bang for my buck. I never really write reviews but I had to for this massager. So what are you waiting for BUY IT because it’s HIGHLY effective and HIGHLY recommended. My name is Candice Harris and I approve this massager and this message LOL! One happy customer over here!!!!🥳 💯👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾

This product is very helpful for relieving stress, tension and pain on muscles. I have been using it for a long time now, and I already love it.

My mother and father both work laborious jobs, so I bought this for them hoping to relieve some of their muscle tension after a long day of work. Upon opening it, we immediately appreciated the fabric cover that comes with it since we can just periodically wash it (good for hygiene!). It also has three speed settings and a heat setting as well. A good point is that when I tried it, the nodes are able to knead the arch of my feet - while many other massagers barely graze it.The machine does a good job of massaging the entire foot and we like it. My only complaint is that for people with smaller feet (my feet is a woman's size 7-7.5, for reference), it can be a bit difficult to position your feet since it works as a one-size-fits-all. If I put my feet on the bottom knob, the third knob sits awkwardly at the top of my toes. Also, while the machine is on, my feet slowly migrate off of the nodes so I have to constantly reposition.Nevertheless, so far so good!Edit: Returning it after a few days because the plug got very, very hot while plugged in even though I wasn’t using it.

I'm only giving this foot massager a 3 star because I find that if your foot is smaller than a size 10,your feet don't sit properly over the massage balls leaving you to constantly reposition your foot over them in order to get them massaged. I also find that this machine is a bit heavy and awkward when having to lift it (for me,anyways) so I try to leave it in one spot. It did come well packaged and the massager does what it was intended to do. I suffer from severe Osteoarthritis in my feet and this has certainly helped with my mobility in that area. This massager does NOT do the back very well and if I'm being honest,I would only use it on your feet. I tried putting it on my back while sitting in a chair but to no avail as I could barely feel a thing. I use this massager at least 3 times a day for the full 15 minute intervals that it turns on for. This massager doesn't get hot by any means and is more of a warm setting than anything, nonetheless,it is warm enough for my liking. It is fairly quiet when powered on and isn't noisy at all. It was reasonably priced and at the end of the day,I am quite happy with it. I have now had this machine for about a month and a half and its going strong.

Since the last 3 months, I have been experiencing moderate to severe plantar fasciitis on my left heel and finally decided to buy this foot massager. It has done wonders in alleviating the pain to a bearable limit in just 5 days of using the massager twice a day ( about 15 mins each time). I am certain that it is only going to get better from here after more usage.The massager comes with a slick cover. The 3 intensity levels work perfectly as needed on different areas. The highest intensity (which I normally like) is pretty strong and you can feel the pain when the nodes rub into the heel and doing the job skillfully. I am already addicted to it like any massage and after each use I feel revitalized.

With all the work from home due to COVID-19, I developed numbness and pains in my legs. I bought this machine in hope to relieve all of this. I have it sitting under my desk. It is a great foot rest and few times a day I would turn it on. Work really well. My legs and feet feels better and it definitely improves circulation. Now I have to find a way to keep the rest of the family from using it.Great for quick back massage as well.PS, there will be a burning smell when you first use it. That is normal because of the heating element. It goes away after 2 or 3 usages.

This foot massager is incredible. Its like putting your feet on a bunch of large marbles, and then having them roll around at different speeds and timings without ever moving...the heat applied is amazing too. The first time I tried it I loved it. Now - I use it daily at the end of the day before I go to bed. I would CERTAINLY recommend this product to ANYONE!!
