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.

if you want a more vigorous pressure I would recommend the brown one.. I have not tried the other ones so I can't say the difference.... i felt comfortable wearing this with medium thick socks if I am walking around in them ... but even sitting with your feet in the sandals under a table or while doing some online work,, it still gets its effect .. I honestly got used to it after wearing it a few days . I used it every day since I got them ... and I find its easier to walk around without being bothered too much . I would not at all wear these to the store .. just because they can get painful . maybe after I get more used to wearing them I might be able to go to the store in them .. but time will tell . right now I wear them around the house .. I do have plantar fasciitis in my right foot .. I have a padding that I have to always have in my arch that I also wear with these sandals but I wear them with all my shoes including my sneakers ... so if you have another apparatus that you usually wear for your feet they can be used simultaneously if they fit ... I really enjoy knowing that I am stimulating my healing of the nerves and pathways to other parts of my body as well ... I think I might try the shoes that have the actual stones next time ...
