Deluxe Acupuncture Slippers

Love these but... you need to incrementaly ease into them. I do need to cavaet the fact, that I love walking barefoot and as such my 50 year foot soles are thick and tough. Even with that fact, I could wear them a few mintues at a time but can now wear them longer. My opinion, is these spring loaded plastic pressure points sandals are better than my immobile stone sandals. The spring loaded points adjust to my physiology. Another plus is the velcro top adjustment feature. 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 had done a lot of research on these before I purchased them. When I received them I put them on for 15 minutes and wore them around the house while I did my household chores. I did wear socks with them. The last 5 minutes were a bit painful but I kept them on, just have to get used to them I am sure. The first night I slept better then I have slept in a really long time. I woke up with no knee pain or sciatica and back pain. 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 suffer from Plantar fasciitis and have tried creams, night splints,socks shots anything you could think of. I came across these slippers looking for more solutions so I decided to give them a try. I have to be honest they HURT like crazy when they on, but when you take them off it's a relief and am not talking about from wearing the shoe but from the Plantar fasciitis. I have been using them for 2 days so let's see how they work after a few weeks. They are good in my book. Wear it with a thick sock until you have used them for a while that helps with the pokey feeling.

I was skeptical when purchasing these sandals. I have tried everything, injections, physical therapy, proprietary pain creams designed by my pediatrist, expensive insoles, new shoes, "special socks," Kinesiology tape, support bands for my arch, braces for my feet. You name it I've tried it. I thought to myself what's another 23 bucks after spending a small fortune trying to get rid of this horrible pain. I wish I would have found these sandals three years ago.


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.

Well, the other reviewers were right: These are like torture sandals! But I've been wearing them (with heavy socks) for five minutes or so each day, slowly building up my tolerance, and I'm impressed. (Perhaps the trick is that my feet feel so relieved once they're OFF that I'm conned into thinking my feet are improving? :-) Really, though, I DO think they are helping my circulation. They also, like someone else commented, tend to make me stand up straighter when I walk on them. And yes, they have an odor when you first unpack them, but that goes away quickly. In short, they seem well made, and I'm really glad I bought them. But they are, of course, purely for therapeutic purposes.

When you start to use the sandals it hurts a bit the sole of the foot, but that is what you get used to. Afterwards it is like a massage

These are amazing. I just got them today and immediately I had to test them out! Like others have stated; these sandals are a tad uncomfortable in the beginning. I put mine on my bare feet because I can withstand a lot of pain/pressure. It was like immediate relief. I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis for a long time and I have to say, the pressure modules really hit the spot. Sure it hurts, but once you get used to them, the easier it is to wear them around for longer than 15 minutes. My feet feel incredible after walking in them for 15-20 minutes. I’ve already done it twice!
