I finally took out my relaxing, massaging new slippers out of the box, after a particularly hard day. I prepared to put my feet in these thick soled babies and be whisked to a happier place. Boy was I wrong.

After putting the batteries into the soles, I pushed the buttons on either side. My daughter asked how I liked them, and I needed her to repeat the question several times as the noise was so loud. If you hate buzzing sounds like I do, you'll despise these torture devices.

I would not recommond these slippers to anyone. They are too noisy and only vibrate, not massage. My feet felt attacked, not massaged. The slippers lose the vibrations as you keep you feet on the floor, it actually has the greatest effect while your feet are propped up.

This is the worst thing that spent money on ever. It is just like your footwear with a vibrating motor inside. It is not designed prosessionally and the vibration is annoying. The batteries are not included and one needs special care to install the batteries that may damge the whole system. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I put these on my wishlist for the same reasons that have lead you to reading this review - because they sounded awesome. However, when I received them as a gift I found out the truth the hard way. They are not so much slippers as loud, vibrating bricks covered in an extraordinarily thin layer of memory foam. I imagined a thick cushion-y layer of foam, hugging my feet; but they are actually just a heavy hard plastic casing for the 'massaging' mechanism: a noisy vibrator. (Think obstructed fan, broken hair dryer.) Since they are just plastic blocks, they make walking awkward and uncomfortable. The cheap fabric and poor excuse for memory foam does little to mask or make up for the poor construction. I don't know about anyone else's but mine were actually dirty and scuffed when I pulled them out of the sealed plastic bags. For the money- they didn't even come with batteries! Save your money. Do not buy this product. You can get the exact same effect with your regular shoes on: just put your feet on a running vacuum cleaner.

I ordered these slippers from some catalog, as a gift for my Mother....I have them on my feet now...and I'm KEEPING this pair for myself and now shopping online for another pair to be shipped to both my Mother and my Sister for Christmas! The directions say not to walk while the battery-operated massage is turned ON. Just walking on memory foam is WONDERFUL, and sitting in my recliner with the massager on my slippers is SUPER. I really like the snugness of the fit--you don't have to worry about them falling off...very very nice. I haven't worn slippers for years, but my feet are thanking me for this pair now! By the way, I'm already spoiled with memory foam as I started with a mattress topper and pillow, and then had to buy a TempurPedic bed which I absolutely LOVE! I really have a hard time sleeping on a traditional mattress after melting into memory foam--it is the best!

I bought for my wife who is pregnant for Christmas. I though it would be good for her feet. Memory foam is very thin, The massage is very loud. Not worth it. Save your money!!

They don't even really vibrate that much... they just tickle.
Don't buy them for the massage function just as comfy slippers. It's a bit weird being so high up with the vibration mechanism and battery housing. They are like platform slippers.

I bought these slippers hoping to finally walk around my home comfortably. Boy was I wrong the memory foam is super thin, one of my slippers didnt work, doesnt massage when walking, going up and down stairs is a challenge you can actually feel the motor on your feet because the memory foam is soo thin. Dont buy you've been warned.

I was very excited about these slippers when I first got them. After one day, the massaging vibrator in the rigth slipper broke. Even when it was working, the slippers were very loud and hurt my feet. I would have given this product a single star, but I just realized that without the batteries hitting the soles of my feet, the slippers are actually quite comfortable. I would not reccomend buying these slippers, unless you are ready to be unimpressed with the massaging feature.

I got my husband these for his birthday. I thought it would be great with th mamory foam and the fact that they massage. I was very disappointed in them. They are poorly made, there isn't much memory foam,the massage just viberates the heal. My husband never wears them, plus I didn't like the fabric. SAVE your money

My feet really hurt and this product makes them hurt even more. I read that they have memory foam. I did not notice they are so stiff and painful. I have size 7.5 womens feet and they are so tight. Do not try walking in these the soles are too stiff. If you have healthy feet they will feel bad soon and if they are in pain they will be worse. Homedics should be ashamed of this product and pull it off the market this is the worst product I have tried yet of any type of anything on the market all categories I think. Socks, Barefeet, thongs or any other slipper or shoe would be preferable to this painful horrible thing. The only thing it might be good for is smashing spiders or using as a hammer when you cannot find yours.
I wish someone told me before I wasted almost 20.00
