   Amazing!
   Some people say how painful these sandals are to them, maybe. Plantar Fascitis hurts something horrible. I put these on and I exchanged pain for barely uncomfortable. I love these. I couldn’t walk without pain until I tried these on, now with these I hardly notice any pain. Initially they were somewhat uncomfortable but I was able to walk without again without limping. My daughter laughs when I’m about to enter a room because you can hear the click clack coming from down the hall as I approach. Ive been wearing them for 10 days. 15 minutes for first wear, oh heck no the first time i wore them for an hour. I also purchased sandals with an a support arch for when not wearing the acupressure sandals. My pain has noticeably diminished even without them. So yes they appear to have helped me. But I also use DMSO on the bottom of my feet and that seems to be very beneficial also. If you’re not familiar with DMSO be sure to do your research. Everybody doesn’t tolerate it the same. I use an 80/20 I got here on Amazon. I’m a flatfooted, over 60 man weighing in at 220lbs who spent half his life being a fitness trainer, less than 20 years in the military as a ground pounder and para trooper and competitive bodybuilder and generally a very competitive exercise enthusiast overall, until they installed titanium in my spine. Don’t read this and be discouraged if your not like me. I only mention it because my lifestyle inflicted heavy damage and few people subject themselves as I did, so that means there is hope. Yep I’m a disabled Vet. The VA wont give me those really comfortable shoes because I’m not diabetic, but I’m not complaining. I refuse to settle for feet that don’t cooperate with my lifestyle. Ive got lots of living to do, I need my feet for that. And if you’ve read my review this far, here is sage advice I learned in the service… take care of your feet and they will take care of you!

   They work!
   My feet have been aching for past few years. I work a lot on my feet and have to alternate FLAT shoes every day. If I’d wear same shoe 2 days in a row, I’d feel the aches and pains. In the mornings, my feet hurt to start the day…I did not think this trajectory was sustainable. I’m 57 years old and was starting to worry about long term pain in my feet if this was my current plight the past few years.
   Over the course of time, buying “support” shoes and inserts, massaging them and applying muscle cream only provided minimal relief. No longer have I been able to wear my beautiful pumps and heels because my feet hurt too bad.
   The bottoms of my feet felt tighter than what a normal foot felt like, so I began researching acupressure shoe options and came across these Byriver sandals.
   I’ve had them about 2-3 weeks, and in the beginning I could barely move a step or two. The instructions recommend standing in them few minutes a day, but I wanted results, so I walked around house (suffering) in them and wore them when I was on my feet cooking etc. They hurt like crazy those first days, and my feet were even sore after wearing, (kind of like the soreness your muscles get after a deep tissue massage), and I even got little bruises. After the first week, my left foot settled in, and the sandal was actually comfortable on that foot. The right foot however still hurt in the very center of the bottom of my foot (where my foot was the tightest). One day, I was out shopping without the sandals, of course, and that spot on the bottom of my right foot ached and itched, so as soon as I got home I put the sandals back on, and it was a “good hurt”.
   It’s now been about 3 weeks, and I hadn’t worn the sandals in about 4 days. I put them on tonight, fully expecting to be back to square one, but they are super comfortable on BOTH feet.
   I feel like I just improved a very important aspect of my health that could have become very debilitating as time went on.
   I am now recommending these sandals to everyone I know that have feet problems.
   Biggest thing to note is you have to stick with it. If they’re painful, it’s because your feet are jacked, and these sandals will help get them back to a healthy state.
   Also probably worth noting, I have never written a review…that’s how impressed I am with these sandals.

   Trust the process!
   These things HURT! I couldn’t stand more than a few seconds, literally. I walked in place gently a few times a day for just a few seconds and gradually increased the time as long as I could stand it. Now I’m able to walk around in them with no problem. I no longer have pain on the bottom of my feet when I first get out of bed and my feet feel like I’m walking on pillows after walking in these slides. I don’t use them enough to speak to any major benefits, but I’m glad I didn’t give up on them!

   Follow the instructions about getting used to these and they’ll provide great pain relief. I wear these everyday for about 2 minutes and it’s enough to relieve my sore feet. They are very well made too and good quality.

   Hard to walk in them for a little while until you get used them

   These massage slippers hurt the first few times I wore them. But after about the 5th or 6th day my feet got used to them and they weren’t as uncomfortable. One thing I noticed is that the first time you try them, your feet will ache more in specific areas; I felt more discomfort in my toes and the inner side of my soles. I’m thinking it’s these areas that need the most attention for a foot massage, as they correspond to areas in my body that may need positive stimulation. There’s no longer the obvious pain when I first started with these slippers. There’s still discomfort when I wear these slippers, especially if I have them on for more than 15 minutes or so. But they do seem to work. Be sure to wear medium to thick socks when you first wear these slippers. I tried them on without socks at first and the pain was literally unbearable. I now wear them with thin, men’s over-the calf stretchy nylon/spandex dress socks as you can see in the photos I uploaded.
