Human Touch Reflex SOL Foot & Calf Massager w/Heat - HSA Approved - Plantar Fasciitis Relief + Circulation + Shiatsu Deep Kneading + Vibrating for Stress - Adjustable for Women & Men up to Size 12

I bought this for my mom as a Christmas present last year. She has really bad plantar fasciitis and used it every day, all day, and it lasted for ALMOST an entire year. The right bag that massages the calf either broke or moved, and it kind of hurts her now. I have used this personally a few times and the pressure, massage, and heat is AMAZING. The buttons are simple to use and easy to understand. Yea this item is a little bulky but it’s worth the massage, trust me. Overall this massager functions well, and is amazing. I just wish it lasted a little longer!! I will be re-purchasing!!!

I’m 6 ft, athletic build -size 11.5 foot- and typically very particular about product features and want the most out of products. I went with Human touch because of their longevity in the industry. What I find intriguing about this massager is its simplicity and the way it mimics the hands of an actual masseuse. A good foot massager (in real life) provides both targeted pressure in a specific place and also will switch to creating multiple sensations at once, such as squeezing the foot while also rubbing a specific area. To my knowledge, this massager is the only one that doesn’t use airbags to massage the lower calf and sides of the feet, rather, it uses a complex blade/roller system that creates a “wave” like sensation that works in unison across the foot, under the foot, and the lower calf. Each setting is unique—and I find that it’s like going to the pedicure place and getting a different person each time, each with their own “signature” way. I like this novelty. I wish that the calf massage went about 2 inches higher to hit the meaty part of my calf, but that’s ok. Where the massager does focus on my lower calf is the right area above the Achilles’ tendon and it hits it just right. Here’s the proof of the pudding to me: after a couple of rounds in this massager, I walk with an appreciation of the “before and after”—its tangible. As well: I find that I lament when the massage is over. I want to do another. And another. Last, I’ve fallen asleep to the massage. Great product so far.

I am an in-shape, active yoga studio owner and instructor for context. I still have tightness and a bad spot on my back on occasion. Because everything in our body is connected and affects other parts of our body when tight or injured, I thought this would be a great way to keep my fascia/muscles more supple in my calves and feet which would lead to beneficial effects up my thighs, glutes and back. The rolling foot massage and vibration is great for reflexology/trigger points that also affect the rest of the body. So overall....yes. I am happy I purchased it. My husband loves it and my 18 year old son said it might be the best purchase I have ever made! That leads me to my criticism. I would have given this a 4.5 stars if that would have been an option. The opportunities for improvement are: The handles to move this machine are barely large enough for the fingertips. I am 5’3 and there is not any room to grip this and move it...which you will because it does take up space, and others will want to use it. Why is this a problem? Because it’s easily dropped when moving and smooth on the sides to grip. So just be careful. The metal piece on the bottom that allows for the tilt option could also be larger to provide more of an angle for someone my height or thereabouts. Sitting in an average chair comfortably might mean your feet don’t get completely flat. Also, a lever on the side would be more convenient than having to fumble for it underneath. That being said, I have used it daily for over an hour at a time as I do my computer work or read. It is amazing for circulation and the options are great. My husband has used it daily as well and was great after a hard workout or even yard work. Buy it. It’s great self care. Just find a firm grip when you move it. It’s heavy enough that someone with a bad back and no strength might not love moving. It isn’t AWFUL but it does have room for improvement. Maybe if the sides were molded inward/concave for a hand grip spot.

At first reluctant to believe that it was possible to make a consumer level product that was this effective. This device has my very positive upvote on the following points. * Sleek design. Zip out liner, washable. * Easy to use; easy to store in a closet under clothes hung on hangers; at 25 lbs and a bit bulky possibly for women to move but likely manageable * Meaningful, easy to reach controls (if you leave kind of hidden ON switch clicked ON at all times). I would not want the added complexity, clutter, and dead battery headaches of a remote for such an easy to use machine unless I had trouble reaching to touch my knees while seated. * On initial experience, the power is surprising, even alarming. I got used to it after several seconds and now would absolutely not want to settle for anything less. The designer knew what he/she was doing in my opinion. * Firm massage and vigorous vibration of toes, soles, heels, and more than half way up my calf; perfect in my case (180 lb, 5'-11", size 10 1/2 shoe). I suspect that the machine would adapt to a variety of foot and leg sizes both larger and smaller than mine. YMMV. * Invigorating. * Excellent and quiet to use whole seated and catching up on correspondence. * I do not need the heat and so did not try that. * Would _definitely_ buy again.

Complete Waste of Money - Avoid at All Costs I've had multiple experiences with this massager over the past few years, and every single one has been a disaster. Don't make the same expensive mistake I did. My first unit arrived with a manufacturing defect - the left leg compartment was completely wrong size, making it impossible to use both legs despite paying full price for a dual-leg massager. After returning that one, I gave them another chance thinking it was just bad luck. The replacement worked for about 6 months before developing a terrible electronic burning smell and dying completely. Foolishly, I tried one more time, only to have the exact same burning smell and failure happen again within another 6 months. The pattern was clear - this is a fundamentally flawed product with serious quality control issues. Even when I had a unit that seemed to work initially, it only lasted about 18 months before the mechanical components failed. When I took it apart, I found the bottom helical gear had completely separated from the axle, making the foot massage mechanism useless. For a $200+ product, having vital parts fail just outside warranty is unacceptable. The company's customer support is absolutely terrible. Once you're out of warranty (even by just 2 months), they offer zero help. No repair services, no replacement parts available, no discounts on replacements - nothing. I was willing to pay for repairs and shipping, but they don't even have repair facilities. Their website doesn't even have proper categories to report common issues like manufacturing defects. Even when the units work, the performance is disappointing compared to the marketing claims. The massage intensity is much weaker than advertised, the controls are confusing, and it's so loud you can't relax during use. After spending over $600 on multiple units and replacements, I'm left with nothing but expensive paperweights. The burning smells are concerning from a safety standpoint, the build quality is poor, and the company clearly doesn't stand behind their product. Save your money and invest in professional massages instead - you'll get better results and actual value for your money.

I tried one of these babies out several months ago when I was walking 20 miles a day. I have flat feet so every step after the 5th mile felt like death. Thankfully, a friend had one of these and she let me use it. It was the only way I managed to survive and recover for each new day's walk. Ever since that experience, I wanted one of these for myself. I am on my feet all day at work and that is killer for people who don't have an arch. By the end of the day, I've got shin splints and my ankle bones are touching the ground. It is excruciating! So, I was quite desperate for this massager. When I finally found out its name, I realized how expensive it is!!!! I felt defeated and gave up for several months. But, I finally had enough money just a few days ago, so I bought this and the SHIPPING WAS SO FAST!!!! I couldn't believe how quickly it arrived! I just got it today and immediately put it under my desk where I work in the evenings at my second job. I've been using it all afternoon while I work and it has helped relieved so much pain. Everything about this machine is amazing. The heat function and rolling/kneading action are the best features. The massage would be good by itself, but when it is combined with the heat, that's when I feel total relief during and after. YES, THE COST IS WORTH IT! You are worth it!

This was a pricey piece of kit and I treated myself to it as a Xmas/Birthday gift. I've been using it for 3 months. To start, you have to calibrate. This is not one of those 5k chairs you can have a sit in at Costco when they have an event on. And it's not a real massage at 80 and upwards for an hour. However..... it's a really nice foot and leg massager. It's well made with good, solid construction materials. There are plenty of options for you to select the kind of pressure you like (tapping, squeezing, hard, soft, rolling). You can have it heated. You can even switch mid-massage (the cycle is about 20 minutes). It took me a week or two to get used to how firm the foot massage part is, even on the gentlest settings. But I can feel my muscles relaxing now when it starts. So, I highly recommend it. I tried and returned a cheaper one. This is pricier than others which purport to do the same thing. However, this is a well known company/brand and it shows.

The Human touch Sol Foot and Calf massager does a pretty good job on feet and calves. For me there are many things that could be im proved. This thing is heavy and it only has two very thin finger grips to pick it up. There should be cut outs on both sides so you entire hand could fit in to pick it up. The calf massager did very little for me because my legs are too thin. I fixed this by purchasing a 1/2 inch foam yoga mat and cutting it to fit inside both of the leg channels. Works good now nice and tight . You would think that the company would offer a foam sleeve for different thicknesses of peoples legs. The calf massage is very good if you have restless leg syndrome. I use it before going to bed and it seems to take care of it pretty well. The foam inserts also fix another issue that other reviewers have complained about and that is the excessive pressure to your feet. The foot has very little muscle tissue and this machine can be very painful if you do not position your feet exactly in the right spot. The foam fixes that perfectly. The on off switch is way down at the bottom which you can barely reach when you have your feet in the machine and you cannot see it so you have to feel around for it. Pretty stupid design. There is 4 rubber foot pads on the bottom that grip my carpet so that I cannot slide it around . I am going to try covering them with packing tape. The vibration mode for me is useless do not feel anything when it's on. Even with all of these issues the machine does a nice job of relaxing tired feet and legs. If you have restless leg syndrome give this machine a try. I am happy to have it when I need it.

Excelente masajeador, muy grande y pesado pero vale la pena se siente muy sólido y hace un masaje profundo y relajante, considero que si tienes pie plano o algún problema de los pies dónde se te cansen mucho lo vas a disfrutar más. El vendedor muy bien, llegó antes de lo previsto y en buenas condiciones.

BEST FOOT Massager EVER ! Use almost daily for 30 - 60 minutes. Low noise - great pressure - really makes a difference for foot and calf massage - relieves pain and provides relaxation. I have had mine for close to a year + still works perfectly. TEN STARS!!!!!

Me encantó el masajeado de de piernas y pies. La primera vez que lo usé lo sentí muy fuerte pero a partir de la segunda vez ya lo sentí normal. Me encantó. Me ayudó mucho para relajar mis pies y pantorrillas. O recomiendo ampliamente.

I have a few issues with my feet with 30 plus years nursing and ended up on disability due to it. I have artistes in both outer ankles and plantar fasciitis in both feet all this has made walking a huge problem. Before using this machine the most I could walk was 2000 steps a day. Now a normal day is 5000 and some days even 10000 steps its a game changer and my pain levels have gone way down with the plantar fasciitis . For me this machine keeps me walking longer and pain free. For the arthritis in my ankles going gluten free helped lower the pain as gluten foods increase inflammation in the body.

Últil, de buena calidad, cumple con su función.
