A foot massager is one of those luxury items everyone must-have. Deciding what massager to get can be tedious and can leave you confused and just frustrated. That is why I go over the absolute best out there (cloudmassager for me). This isn’t one of those 10 or 15 best foot massagers, then you might as well just go through amazon itself.

I tried to narrow it down to the best in each different design of foot massager. I go over the pros and cons of each. There is a foot massager out there for everyone, no one person is the same and everyone’s needs are different. That is why I try going over each try to reach a broad audience and it’s up to you personally to choose the best for yourself.

Going into this compilation of foot massagers just remember in my opinion you shouldn’t cheap out on luxury items like a massager. That is why I didn’t include those things you roll your feet on or those ball massagers. I think it is a complete waste of time. You want a luxury experience and not be there working while you “relax” then you aren’t really relaxing.

Are foot massagers any good?

Yes and yes. They provide massive benefits in a range of things. They can reduce swelling in your feet, improve your blood flow, help with plantar fasciitis, relax your feet after a long day, loosen joints, and ease muscle tension.

Nothing can be more relaxing than getting a great foot massage after a long day of work. Especially if you work long hours where you have to be on your feet the whole time.

You don’t have to ask someone to rub your feet. We all know how that goes, two minutes of massaging then it’s time to swop turn or the massage is over. This might not be the case for everyone, but if this sounds familiar you should get a foot massager. Getting 15 minutes of a quality foot massage, without any complaining.

Is it bad to use a foot massager every day?

I won’t say it is necessarily bad to use a foot massager every day, but you should limit the time you use it. You should try to limit your use to about 15 – 20 minutes a day and also not use it at a too high setting for too long. Rather start at a low setting and move to a higher, but comfortable setting for you.

Yes, this is not necessarily a foot massager, but the different heads and the fact you can use it on any body part makes it a candidate. You might as well get a hand-held massager if you are on a budget and want something for not just your feet. This massager is powerful and can get the job done by massaging any part of your body.

The lightweight makes it easier to handle and maneuver around, but if you are looking for a dedicated foot massager this won’t suffice. I have to say I recommend going for a full-out dedicated foot massager because they are designed for feet and they do an outstanding job. You won’t go wrong splurging on a dedicated foot massager.

This is a basic motorized foot massager you can get. Works great, but is a bit limited. It can only really massage the bottom of your feet and is a bit limiting for people with high arches. Where closed massagers get all-around your feet and can apply a bit more pressure to your feet.

It only has an off-and-on switch for both the heat and massage. This can be a bit annoying if you don’t want the heat, let’s say it’s a hot day, you can’t turn the heat on and just have a massage. On the other end, mixed with the fact that it doesn’t really get that hot, on a cold day your feet might get cold where is a closed foot massager your feet are snuggle in.

Still worth a buy if you are looking for something in this range. If you live in a mild climate area and or just want to have your soles massaged.

Pros	Cons
Heat function Price Adjustable height Small and easily portable	Only massages bottom of feet Doesn’t heat up as much Doesn’t reach high arches that much

The best entry-level foot massager you can get. It can fit most size feet, up to a size 12. Great for daily massages and that you can clean it easily makes it cable of sharing, but I don’t recommend sharing if you didn’t have a foot soak before using or if you have any fungus/infection.

This has everything you need, but not as much as higher tear models. This is still a great buy and can leave you satisfied after use.

Pros	Cons
Heat function 3 knead intensity Remote and touch controls Price Foot-bed cover is removable and washable Light Easy control buttons with feet Timer	Only fits up to men’s size 12 Can feel a bit large for smaller feet Takes a while to heat up

A lot like the above-mentioned foot massager from renpho. The first difference is that this foot massager can take a bit larger feet so if your feet are a bit on the larger side you can check this one out. Another difference is in the way they look.

In my personal opinion, the renpho foot massager looks a lot better and more up-to-date, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is the design choice in where the buttons are. Here you have to bend over to get to the buttons whereas with the renpho you can use your toes to press them.

The buttons, looks, and size may not be of concern to you, but where the miko foot massager might be the better choice is that it is open at the back. This can be a lot more comfortable for long-term use because the back of your ankle won’t be pressing on something that can result in irritation.

The mika foot massager is more expensive than the renpho. Other than that there are no other real differences. They both set out to do the same thing and you won’t be disappointed in either one.

Great top tear foot massager. I highly recommend getting a quality foot massager to start out with. Yes, it can be pricey to start with, but how much do you pay to get a foot massage done by someone.

The Cloudmassage shiatsu foot massager is great for.

Treating swollen feet and ankles
Improve blood flow with heat and compression for diabetic neuropathy
Reduce inflammation for plantar fasciitis
Relax your feet after a long day
Loosen joints
Ease muscle tension

With an adjustable bar, you can massage your feet, calf muscles and, even your arms. The open design makes it easy to use and comfortable and does not limit you to just sitting and keeping your feet at a certain angle.

Pros	Cons
5 different modes Compression therapy Sway function Heat function 3 levels of intensity Easy to understand controls Calf and foot	Price Heavy

If you want to get serious about your foot spa home experience you should get yourself one of these machines. Before you take a relaxing foot massage first take a foot soak. Not only will this boost the relaxation experience, but also help keep things clean and hygienic.

I highly recommend getting a foot spa with a foot massager to give you that full circle home spa experience. Also don’t cheap out, you might just ruin the whole experience for you and not give it another try in the future.

The rotating ball massagers are something a bit different from most other foot spas. I personally prefer these ball massagers, but this can also differ from person to person. I feel that they cover more of your feet than just the traditional rollers. It also has a lid so you can close it after use and put it away for proper storage and avoid anything from getting it. A nice and deep bucket and the red light really give you a sense of relaxation. The only real downside is that it can be a bit hard to clean and takes up a bit of space for storage, but I think the soak experience will be well worth it.
