This Product Is A Game-Changer For People Who Always Have Sore Feet

by Emily Estep

Every day, we put our feet through a lot — and they're definitely not afraid to let us know. Unfortunately, not all of us can afford a weekly reflexology session, which is where the best shiatsu foot massagers come in. With these genius devices, you can get a professional-level rubdown from the comfort of your own couch.

Anyone can benefit from a shiatsu foot massage, especially after an aggravating day at work or a long day on your feet. They're particularly helpful for people who suffer from plantar fasciitis, general heel pain, and other chronic, foot-related conditions. Heated foot massagers can make a big difference in blood circulation, too.

The best thing about all of the at-home foot massagers on this list is that they're completely hands-free. Once you set it up, you're free to scroll through your phone, read a book, or play video games while indulging in some first-class pampering. Some foot massagers have a remote control that allows you to adjust settings, and most are lightweight, so you can easily move them from room to room.

These top-rated shiatsu foot massagers are the perfect way to treat yourself, whether you're looking for a gentle rub or deep tissue-like kneading session.

1This Best-Selling Foot Massager With A Heat Function And Five Different Pressure Levels

This best-selling foot massager has deep-kneading shiatsu massage nodes that work to eliminate chronic pain, loosen stubborn knots, release muscle tension, and even help relieve symptoms of plantar fasciitis. It offers five different pressure levels, so you can choose how intense you want your massage to be, depending on your level of soreness. During the colder months, you'll surely benefit from the heating function, which also feels incredibly soothing on tight muscles. To prevent the waste of energy, it also has an automatic shut-off function that kicks in after 15 minutes.

2This Budget-Friendly Foot Massager That Also Heats Up, But Only Has One Pressure Level

With a six massage heads, a heating function, and an adjustable height, this shiatsu foot massager is a bargain at $60. That doesn't mean it's any less effective than more expensive models, however — just check out its near-five-star rating. It features an easy-to-operate power button and also boasts a carrying handle, so you can bring it anywhere.

"I bought this mainly for the warming foot massage, but after using it once, I was delighted to see the pain in my back had subsided," commented one happy customer. "I was able to get up without cringing. What a relief and what a wonderful surprise."

3This Powerful Shiatsu Massager That Also Treats Your Calves

If your soreness goes beyond your feet, this shiatsu massager, which also treats your calves, will absolutely be worth the investment. It features a patented "Figure-Eight Technology" that completely surrounds your legs and feet, as well as something called "CirQlation Technology," which mimics an incredibly life-like massage. Choose from four massage options — or "wellness programs," as the brand calls them — and use the adjustable tilt function for ergonomic alignment. The brand says this tool resembles a deep-tissue technique, with under-foot massage rollers for all-over relief.
