Promising review: "I work at a restaurant where I have to wear heels and work 10-hour shifts. I pretty much run laps around a10,000-square-foot building. To say my feet hurt when I get off is an understatement lol. This foot massager is a godsend! Using it after a shift is unparalleled. All my server friends need this!"—Kylie P.

FYI: Reviewers recommend building up a tolerance to these slippers as it may take time for your feet to adjust. Some suggest wearing the slippers for a few minutes a day and then increasing the duration slowly. These are not meant to be worn all day, just for a short time each day.
Promising review: "I have been suffering with pain at the bottom of my right heel. When I would rest and got up to walk, the pain was excruciating. I didn't want to go to a podiatrist because I didn't want a needle in my foot! I saw these sandals on a 'Great Things To Buy That Work' list. On day one I wore them for the recommended 15 minutes. It was not easy; they did hurt my feet. But after the 15 minutes, I felt very little pain in my heel. On day two, I felt less pain in my heel and I noticed less pain in my knees! Today is day 3 and I woke up with no pain in my heel! This is why I made the purchase and I am super pleased." —DebinFla

Promising review: "I’m thankful that I found this product! I have plantar fasciitis and I used to purchase the full size inserts. But it got annoying when my shoes felt too tight even after removing the insoles. It was frustrating because I couldn’t wear my collection of shoes. Now I developed heel spur on my right foot. I would limp after working all day and it was too painful to walk without support in the house. I can’t walk barefoot or wear flat sandals anymore. And I used to run, but not anymore. After a mile of walking, I would be in pain. But after I switched to this heel insert, it was life changing! I can walk my usual 2–4 miles and no more limping after work. It took several days to a week to notice the difference or for my previous pain to subside. So, I bought several inserts for my favorite shoes and thinking of having at least 10 to rotate in my collection. Hahaha. Thank you Dr. Scholls!"—3xy

Promising review: "The absolutely best, most effective compression support I've ever worn. It's comfortable and holds my ankle firmly. It has just the right amount of compression. I gave one to my bestie and she says the same thing. I'm going to order two more. And they're pretty--nothing like the boring stocking looking granny compression socks I used to wear. Money well spent!" —Annie K.

Promising review: "So, I just got off work and didn't have these yet. My ankles were hurting so bad I could barely walk. I was so excited to see the braces had been delivered. Normally, I am in a lot of pain when standing up after work and can barely walk. I had the braces on and I stood up like nothing was wrong. I would give these ankle braces 100 stars if I could. Great price, great support and great feeling with them on. I will definitely keep these. I'm also going to order two extra pair so I can keep back ups so I am able to wash them. I would suggest these to any one looking for ankle support."—Marie W.

Promising review: "This became a family bonding event! I was trying to soak my feet in the family room after a long day on my feet. They were definitely aching and hurting up my legs. So I filled a bin with hot water and this foot soak. I soaked my feet for a half hour while I watched TV. I was kind of amazed that when I took my feet out of the water my legs no longer ached! I rubbed some lotion on my feet afterwards and they were good to go. Usually after days like this, I find it difficult to sleep as my muscles keep pinging. But I fell asleep quickly because there was no pain. Two days, later I poured some the hot water in a bin again and made my foot soak bath. My teenage daughter wanted to join me so I made her a separate water bath for her feet. Now being that she is a teenager, her foot odor can reach a level that I had no idea could be reached. Even after showers with soap and water, they are still smelly. The salts were able to kill off any order on her feet. She was so happy. She’s always embarrassed at school because she’s worried people can smell them." —DKelly

Promising review: "I almost didn't write a review because this is the only cream that helps my diabetic husband and I don't want to the price to go up or for it to not be in stock because people find out the secret! It also helps fellow family members with their pain. I'm thinking about trying it on my back to see if it works for me too. If you have foot pain, I would say try this! It works amazingly for them." —Chelsea

Promising review: "I have only worn these one time, but just from wearing them walking around my school to take grad pictures, I can already tell the dramatic difference they have made in my foot pain. They make the heels so much more comfortable when walking and standing. I even put them in heeled sandals that are a little tight around the toes and it did not make them feel tight. I would recommend taking your time to place them so they fit exactly where your toes fit in the heels you're going to use them in. I don’t think will be wearing heels without these from now on!" —Jade

Promising review: "I have suffered for years with leg and foot pain. A friend had this roll-on in her purse. We were shopping and I complained about how much I was hurting. She showed me the Biofreeze and I used it and immediately I felt no pain. We had a great time shopping. I came home and ordered three roll on's, 1qt. pump, and the spray. I love it and I think you will too." —Miller

Promising review: "I had heel pain for months, trying different orthotics and rehab techniques for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs with zero effect on the pain. I bought these and they arrived on a Sunday night. By Thursday morning my heel had zero pain. Each day it was just less and less. At first I had them in my shoe on top of the insert but found them more comfortable and secure when placed under the insert. Definitely some of the best money I've ever spent." —Anthony C.

Promising review: "This amazing product was approved by my podiatrist and physiotherapist. I suffer from planar fasciitis and this is a lifesaver. The great thing about it is that you can use it for one to two minutes in the morning as you wake up and at night before you go to bed or even while watching tv! It’s very versatile and can help anyone having any foot issues." —Shiva S.

Promising review: "I am so glad that I bought these shoes! Not only are they aesthetically appealing (evidenced by the numerous complements I receive when I wear them), but they are upper comfortable. I wear them to work where I stand for multiple hours at a time, and I have yet to struggle with foot or ankle pain at the end of a shift. I have low back and joint issues, and these shoes have saved my life when it comes to comfort after a long day. Best purchase by far! —Victoria C.

Promising reviews: "My choice of shoes have ruined my feet. I've awakened with pain in my feet long enough! I bought these and wore them one evening (I took them off for bed) and I awoke the next morning, pain free. Just one night and I am quite happy. I will wear them each night." —Amazon customer

Promising review: "I received my order in the mail today and immediately applied it to one of my feet. I suffer from diabetic neuropathy that sometimes barely allows me to hobble around the house. Within 30 minutes of applying it to my left foot I could tell the difference. Nothing is going to cure the neuropathy, but the relief that this provided me was palpable, to the point I was almost in tears. I will absolutely be a repeat buyer, and will recommend this to my friends and loved ones. We talk about holy grail products? This is definitely one of mine now. Thank you so much for what you do! (Oh, also thoughtfully and beautifully packaged. Just icing on the cake!) THANK YOU!" —Amber M.
