REVIEW – I have suffered from Plantar Fascitis for many years and I have worn special shoes designed to provide relief for probably 15 years. Several years ago I even received steroid shots in my heel. One thing that I have found that provides good relief after a long day on my feet is a foot massage, and the best way I have found to enjoy a good foot massage is a foot massager. In the past, I have tried a few and they have been pretty good. I am looking forward to trying this Shiatsu Foot Massager from Comfier.

Performance
The Comfier Shiatsu Foot Massager is very easy to use. Just plug it in and place your feet in the very comfortable footholds. You then power on the device and customize the experience according to your choice including shiatsu, rolling, fast heating, total feet squeeze, and vibration.
The inserts in the foot pockets are zippered and can be removed and washed.
Overall, this Comfier Shiatsu Foot Massager works well and each of the functions is very effective and arguably the most effective of any Foot Massagers that I have tested. My only complaints are that it lacks a remote control which means that you have to bend over and reach to your feet if you want to change settings. This is not the most convenient thing to do when you are sitting back and enjoying the massage. The other complaint is that I would like to be able to set time limits for the duration of my massages. Sometimes I want the default 15 minutes and other times I want less.
Otherwise, this device is very comfortable to use, and unlike some other devices, my feet seem to automatically be positioned exactly when they need to be for a complete massage. I have tested other machines that required me to keep repositioning my feet to get into the right position. This is a nice device.
What I like
- Nicely built and lightweight
- Effective massage at all levels
- The removable insert allows for cleanliness
What I’d change
- Needs a remote control
- Needs a timer function to customize the length of the massage experience
Final thoughts
The Comfier Shiatsu Foot Massager compares well to others that I have tried and tested including the effectiveness of the massage and other functions. It is lightweight and compact and my feet fit well and directly over the massage area without any need to adjust. If there was a remote control and a timer function it would be ranked number one for me.

Julian , I agree with all your comments on this foot massager . My wife bought this for me to seek help with my feet ailment of neuropathy . Neuropathy hit me 4 years ago, and has gotten worse . Drs say no cause , and no cure . Masking it with drugs doesn’t work, and this foot massage machine I will say it offers some comfort .
