Good point!
At first I was thinking just see the dimensions of the platform but then after I glanced at the picture of the woman wearing them and unless she is 7’ tall with huge man feet to match, this thing is pretty small. I’d say my guy, who wears size 13 shoes would most likely have all of his toes hanging over the edge of the platform! Obviously, that doesn’t mean it’s not going to massage his sore aching feet and legs, but his tootsies most definitely won’t be seeing any action!
Wasn’t there a movie where someone was thrown off a boat or a pier with cement shoes? One of the godfather movies maybe? That shoulda been the gag picture.
Sure would hate to have to try and escape a fire or other emergency while wearing these! If you couldn’t remove them quickly enough you’d have to unplug the unit and hop, hop, hop as fast as you can!
I know I’d probably break my neck on the very first hop! 🩼
I’m thinking you might be better off doing the ole “drop & roll” thing even before you caught fire! Roll yourself right out the nearest door! …
@Benjamax I suspect that it’s because the bits that do the leg cuff inflation are in the base, along with the bits that do the roller-mangling of the bottoms of the feet. Yes, it’s technically possible to make it in two separate boots, but I suspect that would cost more. And then people would try to walk around in them, dragging an extension cord and generally doing everything wrong. The fused-together arrangement reinforces the “sit the eff down and let the thing do what it does” idea. (Some people may find this restriction of their mobility anxiety-inducing. Some people find toy poodles anxiety-inducing. Those little bastards BITE.)
I have pain in the anterior part of my right ankle, the top of the ankle between the two bumps on either side, probably arthritis or tendinitis according to my md. Will this thing hit that area? It kind of looks like it won’t, but I can’t tell for sure.
@phonepole without seeing exactly where you’re talking about I couldn’t say for certain but if you refer to the 3rd image, it shows where the inflation part starts. It does start above the ankle so I think you’d be ok but I can’t say with 100% certainty
Looking at the pictures I have a couple questions.
is there actually any massage function to your soles. I have some numbness in my foot after Achilles tendon repair surgery and have often thought that perhaps automated foot massages would help with some of that sensation. Picture makes it looks like massage is only for your calves. Write up says it include your soles.
how much lateral movement do these have at the top (knees). Both pictures of women show their knees being pretty close together. The last picture (albeit photoshopped) shows him with his knees spread further apart. Wonder if that’s actually even possible with the way the unit is made.
@chienfou a review on the Homedics page says that initially the massager tickled her feet and implied that there were adjustable setting for the massage. Also there is a heat feature. I’m kinda considering…
@chienfou if you refer to the 3rd image, it shows where the nodes are on the foot base. Definitely no massage on the back of your heels because the air chambers inflate above the ankle. As far as your knees, it completely depends on the length of your legs. I tested it at my desk and I don’t recall any issues of being able to bend the knee but YMMV on how far apart you can keep your knees based on your calf length. Hope that helps but if you have any other questions, tag me and I’m happy to help!
@chienfou scratch that. Technically you can hold your knees apart but it definitely limits how much your feet hit the nodes on the bottom if your foot is tilted
@mandirose
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
When I looked at that picture I could see that there were heating elements on the bottom of your foot, but wasn’t sure if there was actually massage capability associated with it. I figured if there was it had to be a mechanical rather than the air compression. Massaging the soles of my feet is what I would be primarily interested in…
Way back in '93 I took a bad fall and landed on my left foot, shattering my heel bone into 5 pieces and seriously spraining my foot and ankle. Surgery, a metal plate and screws, a cast and months of hobbling on crutches followed. After the cast came off, I had to go to physical therapy (a lot of physical therapy ) to be able to walk (more or less) normally again.
But after the therapist put me through her torture regime, the visits always finished up with an ice pack and then a foot massage, which felt glorious. (And it didn’t hurt that she was young and quite attractive. )

So what size feet does this take. Most foot massagers only go to size 11 or 12.

“If you mean that a lie has been exposed or a criminal has been caught, Cambridge Dictionary confirms you should always stick with ‘the jig is up’.”
(Referring to paragraph 4 of the story)
@mehvid1 “the gig was up” --> i.e. the show was over. Just one of several errors. Maybe give AI a try. Couldn’t do much worse.
/showme isn’t working, is it?
@therealjrn Here’s the image you requested for “isn t working, is [object Object]”
@mediocrebot @therealjrn
Guess that answered that question!
I’ve gotta ask. Why does it look like that?
@Benjamax
Why does what look like what?
@Lynnerizer Like a foot piece for a mummy’s sarcophagus.
Or possibly a restraint for a comic hero/villain called Ostrich Man

@Benjamax @werehatrack wonderful use of the word ‘mangling’.
Kinky Boots!
@Bumplepimp I’ve got better ones, for that.
@Bumplepimp @werehatrack me too! Several pair actually!!

2026 version of a medieval foot and ankle torture device called the Spanish Boot. Adding boiling liquids was optional.
@customers please note that these have compression around the legs only, not the feet. The feet have massage nodes - not compression.
