The 10 Best Acupressure Sandals for Dealing with Foot Pain

Inspired by acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine (which precisely targets specific parts of your body), these acupressure sandals are a modified, less intense version that you can use at home or on the go for potential pain relief. While there's no definitive science that says acupressure products will put an end to your pain, a 2011 exploratory study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that participants were able to "subjectively relax" when lying on an acupressure mat. Researchers also observed "the pain (from lying on the acupressure mat) may hypothetically have triggered a parasympathetic response." This response, which induces a relaxed state, could be why many users rave about how zen their body feels post-treatment.
