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 liked the massager and used it most days for a single 15 minute cycle. I wish it was a bit tighter on the calves, but its still fine as is. After having it for only a few months though, its completely dead. It actually died while tight on my feet and I had a bit of struggle to get out of it. It doesn't move anymore and stays in this position. The lights come on, but the motors do nothing. I reached out to support who asked me for a picture of the serial number, video evidence of the issue, and order details which I provided promptly. Its been 2 weeks and I haven't heard another word from them even though I proactively reached out after 1 week. its an expensive gamble to buy this. EDIT: I did eventually get in contact with support and they replaced the massager. The new one has not suffered the issue and has been working well for a long time.

We bought this as an early Christmas present to ourselves. My husband currently has bad sciatica nerve issues from back surgery. The bottom of his feet feel like he walks on glass. His calf’s are so tight. Oh and his big toe feels like it’s on fire. With about 3 weeks under his belt with using it multiple times a day, this machine has Significantly improved his pain! We still have months of recovery ahead for him. But this machine is surely helping! You can feel the nubs (for lack of proper words) gently rubbing the bottom of your feet. Love how you can change the intensity. Cons : it could be a little taller (we are both 5’10”) and comes below the back of our knees. And because of the weight of the machine- it is not easy to move it around. If they could somehow develop wheels on the back sides- that would be perfect. And the price….. it is pricey! Love the vibration and the warming effect-it’s very nice! I recommend this foot/leg massager !!

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.

This machine arrived at my home about an hour ago and I had to get to my computer to write this review! My husband is a USPS Mechanic- he's on his feet all day, doing hard work fixing vehicles and such. His calves are overdeveloped, which cause pain in his legs. This also heavily contributes to plantar fasciitis. Having these two conditions makes sleeping difficult for him. For YEARS, he's tried various doctors, braces, and massages to loosen up the muscles in his feet and calves. Nothing relieved his discomfort. Nothing. This machine arrived at the door, my husband took it right out of the box. There's no assembly required. Simply plug it in to the outlet. I LOVED that. Within SECONDS, I swear to you, seconds, the expression on my husband's face spoke about the results. He was genuinely surprised about the targeted massage, the depth of the relief this immediately brought him. He was smiling, trying the different features, each time smiling. After a few minutes, maybe 10 or 15, he turned the machine off to feed the dogs and he got up. His expression, again, told me the genuine reaction about the results- his legs and his feet were LOOSE. He couldn't stop smiling, telling me he'd never experienced so much release from the tightness and pressure in his legs and feet. This machine is a miracle for him! He goes back to work tomorrow. That will be the real test, to see how this performs after a day of hard labor. Nonetheless, after watching him try the machine for the first time tonight, I have no doubt this is the answer we've been waiting for!

It was okay, a lot of money, I was sad because after figuring out where I was going to put it, I turned it on and after using it maybe 3 or 4 times, it started to make a popping sound. I didn’t test out the heat function because once it started popping I select return. Luckily we still had the box and everything else because we usually burn all of that after unboxing. I was going to have them just send me a new one but once something isn’t reliable it’s hard for me to trust I’m not going to get another broken one. It’s heavy, the build quality seemed fine until the popping. The speed of the massage was slow and steady which I did like. I’m not sure about how hot it gets, like I said I didn’t try it. Over all functionality was fine, other than the popping.

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.
