MIKO Shiatsu Foot Massager: Targeted Relief for Tired Feet

T. M. Harrigan: I saw this as a gift for my wife this Christmas, and after finding it on Amazon for almost 1/2 off, I decided to to get it. She has to stand a lot at her job, and is always complaining about her feet hurting when she gets home. No it's not Christmas yet, and here I am writing a review.

I will say it's a big box, so when I lugged it into the house, I had no place to hide it. She saw it when she got home, and asked what it was. I said it's your gift. It was in a nondescript box, so she had no idea. It was there a week when she said she couldn't take it any longer, she had to have it.

The unveiling couldn't have come at a better time because her feet were hurting her. After a few minutes, she said she wasn't sure, and went into the other room. So there it lay....

The next day, after my morning walk, I decided to give it a try. Wow!! It was wonderful. I will say the remote is kind of funny. Usually when you think remote, you can be across the room, and boom, turn on the TV. Not with this, you have to be about one and half feet from the device, or closer. So if you're sitting, and it's transforming your feet from something you'd like to cut off to something that...

akatpurple: I bought this incredible machine to practice daily self care. I have monthly massages via a subscription to a local chain that offers spa services and I love it. BUT, I never feel like any massage therapist spends enough time on my feet! This replaces a cheap step-in model that I got on Primed day 3 or 4 years ago. It is loud and does an okay job. In comparison, his beautiful machine is like stepping on clouds. I really like that I can have it flat, or at different angles. And I especially like that I can do my calves. I was a barefoot runner for a few years and fractured my foot (lesson learned. My body can be too old to succeed at some things I attempt.) and now have arthritis in both feet. This massager has already increased my mobility in both feet and my ankles. I am so glad to have this foot/calve/ankle massager. It is well made and works quietly and smoothly.

Mila Frenkel: Everything is excellent except for the location of the plug connection; it is right beside the adjustable bar. The plug can get stuck by the adjustable bar if you do not unplug the connector every time you need to switch positions, and it is a little heavy to transport. However, this weight could be beneficial because of the motor. I placed a small blanket underneath it to create a smoother gliding relocation.

Saeed Ahmed: It works well for the purpose. There are only two issues, the remote is not strong enough, and handle is pretty rough to change the angle.

Amazon Customer: This is exactly what I needed. I have tried others and they don’t address the top of the foot like this one does. It has a heel rest that keeps your foot in place as well as massage. The rollers work great as do the air pressure pads. You even feel your foot moving sideways which was unexpected. I am totally satisfied with this purchase.

Kamara Wyatt: I got this for Christmas when I was pregnant with my daughter and used it on my tired feet. After I’ve only used it a couple of times. However! Just brought it back out as I’m now home after having my second baby and I have horrible postpartum edema. My feet went from swollen and in pain to 50% swelling reduced and soothed after using it twice in one day. The only con is that it’s pretty loud, so using it at night or when the kids are asleep doesn’t work.

dog faced pony soldier: I'm not on my feet all day, but for some reason over the last few years my feet started bothering me a lot more than I would expect. By nighttime, they'd actually be hurting. I bought a foot massager like the Miko, but much cheaper (around $70, I think). It was better than anything I'd had before, but there were some problems. The rollers were small and pointy feeling, and after a couple of months the electrical connection seemed to be having problems. I didn't enjoy using it, and I eventually donated it to a thrift store.

But my feet kept hurting. Six months or so went by, and I decided to try again. But instead of going cheap, I figured I'd pony up for a more expensive unit this time and see how that goes. So I bought the Miko.

The sessions are twenty minutes. I used it for a solid hour the very first day. And then I used it for another solid hour the next day. Any you know what? My feet stopped hurting. I didn't use it the third day because I didn't need to. And I didn't need it the day after that either. Obviously it's not a permanent fix, and I've used it since, but it made a real difference really quickly. It doesn't just feel good while it's happening, it...

DC Knives: We bought this a couple of weeks ago and have used it every day since. It's really well made, solid, a little on the heavy side, but it's supposed to stay put. The operation is pretty easy to learn and works well on feet, calves and even on forearms. It can vibrate, squeeze, heat and knead "shiatsu" like. The adjustable air pressure feature is really sweet. It can squeeze pretty hard, so it's good that one can adjust the pressure to their liking. There are 6 pressure settings. Once started, the program runs for 20 minutes and automatically shuts off. If you walk a lot or are on your feet all day, you will appreciate this machine. I understand that the fabric is removable and can be washed.

I would give it five stars, but I took one star away for not having more control options. In our opinion the squeeze (pressure) duration always seems to end too soon. It would be nice to be able to adjust that. Operating modes are fixed, so you cannot have the vibrate all by itself as it's on with on with knead and squeeze. A few more control options would make this thing idea. It doesn't quite hit the sciatic nerve in the legs. I can manage to rotate my leg so the calf is getting the...
