A big thank you to Bob and Brad for sending their foot massager for us to love. As always, no form of monetary compensation was received for this rave review.
I always saw a foot massager as an absolutely luxury item. Something you got when you were rich and used to being pampered. But me? I wouldn’t know what to do if someone said to “pamper myself”, but I’m guessing it would involve sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.
You see, I don’t “do” baths, I don’t have a beauty routine of any kind, I’ve never been to a spa, and I’ve had exactly one massage in my life {which was heavenly}. I guess I assumed I wouldn’t be someone that needed a foot massager, either. But, hey, I can admit when I’m wrong. And, I was really wrong on this one.
My new Bob and Brad Foot Massager changed everyone’s mind about who needs a foot massager. It turns out, everyone in my family needs one, and there’s usually a line for it in the evenings.
I use it to alleviate my plantar fasciitis pain, my son uses it to manage his newly diagnosed Severs’ Disease, and my husband uses it after workouts or to unwind at night. And, our girls? They are just along for the pampering, which they both do very well.

The ultimate foot massager
With 4 different squeeze intensities {low, high, max or off}, 3 different air modes, 3 levels of heat, and 4 different knead intensities {low, medium, high, or off}, there’s so many ways to customize your massage. Kneading helps improve blood circulation by lightly tightening and releasing your feet, stimulating blood to circulate throughout. Heat helps you relax and have a luxurious at-home experience that would rival your favorite spa. Here at our house, we all have our favorite setting, but for me that changes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd go rounds.
For my first massage, I like extra hot, medium kneading, and high air pressure. For the second and third massage, I go with less kneading. I like the kneading on the ball of my foot, but I can’t do that long with intense kneading on my heel. Sometimes I turn the kneading off entirely for subsequent massages, and sometimes I put a little piece of cardstock in my sock over my heel – it depends on my mood.
So, sit back, pick your preferred massage setting, and turn up the heat. The result is an at-home foot massage experience that’ll have you so relaxed, you might have trouble staying awake through your favorite show at night. This has definitely been our experience as we’ve had multiple sleeping teens on our sofa while using the Bob and Brad foot massager.
Speaking of customizing the settings, I love that the unit itself has easy to use controls, which you can select with a quick press of a button. The controls are conveniently located on the top of the device with easy-to-read labels, so you can easily customize. Switch between kneading and shiatsu, and control their intensity, all with the click of a button.
Or, if you prefer, you can use the included remote control, and never even have to bend over to select a setting. I will admit that our remote wanders off a bit because there’s nowhere to place it on the unit itself, but thankfully I can still use the unit controls to get it going.
If you are looking for the ultimate in comfort, or you have an ailment you are looking to solve, I would highly recommend checking out Bob and Brad foot massager. It’s a hit with the whole family, but what sold me is that there’s a whole lot less foot pain in our lives these days now that it’s here.
