Does this do a good job massaging feet?

Yes, its ok on feet too. I only wear size 7 shoe, so I can really only use 1 of the rotating heads at a time. It does help though with planters fasciitis and tired feet, although it's much better on the body.

I just tried it out, feels pretty good. I think I applied too much pressure on the arches of my feet, they're a little achy, but I liked the massage itself so I think I'll be using it on my feet now too. It's the best for my shoulders & neck though.

I've only had mine for just over three months, but it works fine. After a thorough foot massage I find it useful for increasing circulation and it reliably gets rid of occasional swelling in my feet when the massage alone has failed.

Even on "light" the shiatsu massage is pretty strong. The first time I used it, the bottoms of my feet were a little sore the next morning -- but I've found if I don't press down on my heels when I'm using it, it's perfect. I love my Shiatsu Foot Massager and use it almost nightly.

Yes, it is good for callused feet. Continued use has helped skin stay much smoother.

I've been using it on my feet and it works very well. I have used the coarsest roll but there are roll attachments that are finer that might work on dry skin. I don't really have callouses and it helps make my feet nice and smooth.

I have used on calves, it is not the most comfy item for this, for your situation I would recommend you can search it: Kneading Portable Massage Cushion - Shiatsu-Style Massage for On-The-Go by Prospera you can even use in a vehicle or HoMedics PA-MH Therapist Select® Compact Percussion Massager

Yes. It is great. The deep stretch really helps my foot. Also, I love the different levels it has. So worth the purchase. I give it 5 stars.

no it does not roll on the sides of your feet. with the pressure on 5, you will get quite the massage and it may relieve the side pain tho.

Sina, I purchased one of these for my wife 6 months ago in response to pain she was having with her feet (associated with walking a lot for exercise and issues with bunions). The unit is sturdy, puts out A LOT of vibration at the max setting, and did seem to help provide short-term relief. It is a vibrating unit, not a massaging unit. She ended up getting shots (Cortesone I'm thinking) in each foot that provided much greater and lasting relief, but still uses this unit on occasion. No regrets on the purchase and at least for my wife's issues it delivered on what we were looking for. Also has proven to be of much higher quality than the reviews I saw on many of the lower cost units.

No, the moving/massaging components are all located on the bottom of the feet only. The foot compartments do squeeze the entire foot though which includes the top of the feet.

Yes, I use it for stretching my feet. I have plantar fasciitis. It hurt to use at first, as it is hard material, but now I love it...esp when my arches ache from not wearing my shoe inserts.

It is not meant to be used without the liner. This particular type of foot spa is meant for salons and the liner is sanitary device for clients. I bought this for personal use and always use the liners. The liners are not thick enough plastic to hinder the vibration from reaching your feet. I do agree that the vibration on this model is mild. I would recommend if you want stronger vibration for your feet, the Hitachi Magic Wand Back Massager is very strong and does the trick on sore feet and calves. Hope this helps you!

For deep tissue massage on the feet, it's the best on the market probably.For the Calves, it's ok, but there's no rollers like with the feet, just squeezing from airbags.

The massage is so strong that it can be felt not only on the feet, but to the ankles and calves as well. Thoroughly massages my calves!

I don't know Jeff. All I can tell you is that I wear a size 12-13 etra-wide and I can get my feet in the massager. I don't stick my entire foot in just from the arch to the end of my toes. Also for those with large feet should only use the lowest setting other wise you feet will really get squeezed and will not feel good at all. Other wise I think this is the overall best foot massager on the market.

It does slightly massage an ankle but the entire unit is not worth the price, in my opinion. It does not go around the leg when it is swollen, so what's the point? My husband recently needed to use it so we tied it on with string since the velcro wouldn't match up and it helped a little. I suppose it is better than nothing but I've been massaging his legs and feet by hand and it's about the same. Remember, if you buy this, you cannot return it.
