Which one should you buy?
For most people the Nekteck Foot Massager is the best place to start, because its open top shiatsu design steps on and off easily, fits any foot size and is backed by an enormous happy review base of more than 25,000 ratings, the safest first buy in the category. Step up to the enclosed Nekteck Shiatsu boot if you want air compression that wraps the whole foot with 3 modes and heat, noting it fits up to about AU 10.5, the cotsoco for 3 heat levels and 3 modes in an enclosed boot, the Comfytemp if you want a cordless rechargeable boot you can use anywhere, or the Snailax if you want an open top massager with 18 nodes that doubles as a back massager. The premium pick is the BOB AND BRAD Shiatsu Foot Massager Lite: it is endorsed by physiotherapists Bob and Brad, adds a remote so you never bend down, fits up to size 12 and offers two heat settings, though at this price you are paying for the brand and the remote as much as the massage itself. Be realistic that ratings sit around 4.2 to 4.4 across the whole category, because how firm a massage feels and whether a boot fits your foot are personal, so the most-reviewed picks are the safest bets.
